BMW S1000R - Test Ride & Review (60fps) 

Have had one for 2 years. The handling, brakes and engine are sublime. Flawless build. It has all the charater I want. It's superb.

Hey LC, I'm really liking your video editing capabilities; every video seems to be better than the last! Great review!

I personally adore this bike, it's perfect. Great video as always man

Bikes are like girlfriends. If you want character, get a sexy Italian bike. You'll have all the same character and problems that come with it as a sexy Italian girlfriend.

Good honest sounding review, too late I've already bought one lol. (happy)

Fun fact for you. The k5 gsxr 1000 engine was that good that BMW actually developed their s1000 engine using the exact same tech , the same bore and stroke etc. Look it up, its very interesting. The k5 1000 engine was way ahead of its time and one of the best 1k super sport engines ever produced.

Great video brother, I just bought one today and rode it home from milton Keynes with daughter on the back, love it and i was taking it easy

She is a beast! Reminds me of Sloth from the Goonies! Love the twirly bird camera angle mate! Another cracking video from the Chopper!

Awesome bike. Great review! Sad to hear that pegs are too high for you. With an extra 2 inches (waheeey!) I've got no hope. Still quite fancy a go on the XR though, might be different? BTW I was feeling all proud of my upcoming test ride vids and you've done this and made me look silly! And that helicopter mount! Awesome! I didn't realise what was going on at first!! Cheers bludd!

Great review mate, added to my list of bikes I wanna ride 😀

I've recently fallen in love with the S1000r and you sir have just made a sale 😀

Great review lc

Great review as always! I'd love to see you try out some of the 600cc supersports and also, more specifically, a BMW K1300R

That wobbling brake reservoir in my peripheral vision would shit me to tears.

Great view lamb chops, I love one myself

great review cant wait for MT-10 this summer

great review fella. bahnstormers seems to be so open to test rides.great dealership...wish triumph would learnfrom them! rsm

I had to get rid of my bike. So watching you ride brings me enjoyment. Keep up the good work mate!! Next time thou. Drop by my house in Australia with it so I can ride it. >.

Great video

Loving your work sir. An older video but your style and humour ooze into my ears. Ok this is sounding sexual. Looking at buying this bike or the MT10. So torn but leaning towards the Beemer as I prefer the looks of it.

Nice review. Please do one on the 2016 Speed Triple R....

Awesome edit! From the reviews I have seen, out of the R and RR I think I would go for the R. Must get myself over to Bahnstormer, never been.

The song is Heist by Noisestorm (no not sandstorm) if anyone was wondering.

In my opinion for inlinefour this bike have loads of character and sound very good . The only think superduke is better with is the more powerfull engine . In the past I've had many bikes with character like rsv and 990 superduke but with character comes loads of problems as well and after a while you are just tired and wont something which works all the time .

Great review! Interesting to hear you talk about character on the s1000r. And it does seem to me that bike is all about performance, speed, and technology. Kinda reminds me of Schwarzenegger's character in the Terminator films; even still, that has character too! I own the R NineT. I'd be interested in your review of it and your assessment of its character.

A nice review. It's a nice bit of kit and has all the toys, but it's not emotive enough and it has a face that only it's mother could love. For those reasons...I'm oot!

Good review. Interesting to hear your thoughts. Very surprised you preferred the GSX-S1000! as most people go straight for the power figures. I test rode one myself back in april (read the reviews and had one all set up to buy) and for some reason for the first time in 25+ years of biking went for a test drive on one. I didn't get one in the end for lots of different reasons and went for a z1000 which im more than happy with. However the one thing I loved about it was the QS which ive added to mine.

Alright there chopsy, hope you're enjoying the gixer thou now it's sorted, unfortunately its time for me to change bikes due to comfort issues, which would you say is better to go for? 2017 tuono v4 1100, S1000R, or the s1000rr? Any advice greatly appreciated fella and keep up the top work 👍

I just bought a brand new 2020 sport, I have to say it is really starting to grow on me but I wish it was more comfortable as I am 6.2 and it feels like all my body weight goes on my arms.

Really considering a 17/18 s1000r or the 18 speed triple rs , lamb chop you ridden the new triumph? Mainly road use would like nice early torque but smooth delivery so power can be used.

Ah man I LOVE your approach to editing and shot choice, another great video. That gimble shot on the roundabout is phenominal, I'm not as up on other motovloggers as I used to be but that type of shot hasn't really been done much before I think, ground breaking? Particularly love the opening shots and the music, very much what I attempted to do with my bike reveal video but then I went and ruined it with my stupid dancing. Mainly because I cannot hold a camera steady for the life of me, Michael J. Fox would do a better job!

@Lambchop, you have to make a comparasion video with the streetfighters you have tested over the years. It would be nice to hear your opinion on what you think is the best bike of s1000r, h2, z1000, gsxs1000, mt10, tuono and the Ducati? Best price/fun ration etc.

Haha brilliant I've got a Gen1 2015 with a full Arrow Competition Evo half titanium so many wee mods with a woolich tune and then a touch of custom on it. 194.5bhp at the engine 169whp and is mental even the exhaust and the bangs equal the RR easily. Has 87ftlb at the wheel so around 100ftlb at the engine. Things insane only thing I'd love is a blipper but apart from that the bike does everything.

what mode were you in for wheelies? Road or dynamic?

Good review, how did you like the riding position compared to other naked bikes? I found it more sportier (more lean forward) compared to other naked bikes.

Would defo be a smart choice of bike and I want one.hate the ugle headlight tho.I bet it can wheelie for miles on the powerNice review chops

Well, now. That is a sexy beast. Nice bike, too.

Good video. I sold my Fireblade 954 last year and will be ready for another bike after Christmas but which one to buy is really hard! I'm 48 and want to do a lot of touring and would really like to stick to the Fireblade however now BMW have come out with all the creature comforts I want this upcoming Blade in 2017 to match them. Cruise control, heated grips, quick shift, auto blipper, rider safety features all sound sublime for touring. But will Honda put them all on the new Fireblade for 2017? It's a big ask! Small and light with a fairing is my default touring preference the other thing that I feel manufacturers could give us is better comfort handlebars on sports bikes! I'm mean imagine having adjustable bars designed to go from race position to touring position as a standard component!

I want this bike so bad! Reviews have been popping up alot and I only hear good things

Only 3,5 yrs late in watching this. So the S1000R lacks character? Yep, my current pony is a S1000XR and I sadly agree with you. I really wanted to love this line of S1000’s but just can’t, just too German perhaps 😂🇦🇺

Good review dude... Makes me want to get naked for a bit :)

Love your videos lamb chops and I admire guys like you.Would I buy an S1000R .. yes I would but I like to think I got a really good deal on a bike and I dout I would find one on an S1000R.maby in a few years, would like to see one power wheelie

does it have wheelie control???

i had a GSXS new 2018. So i can only compare that year. Suzuki claimed 150bhp although no one ever saw it. 133bhp was my best dyno. It was absolutely crap fueling until I put aftermarket low 4 rails on it. It was never a problem at wot hence just the low 4 rails. Also the suspension was crap no matter what i did. Really the only upside was the new price 9100 pound. Yet i spent way more on modding including massive weight fixes. I know this is years old but id be mad to take a gixess over s10000r.

Try and test ride a pre 07 Honda xl125v

Leg all ok now then?....Nice bit of head spinning & and nice camera case!.....do they do it in pink as well?😬 Top review as always, how about a moped/scooter review with Womble,could be fun???? Ride Safe Chops👍🏻

I own one and I love it. What ride mode were you in? In Dynamic Pro I believe the wheelie control is turned off completely.

How does the wheelie control work? Does it only let the front wheel go so high and hold it there or did it cut the power when you lifted

Definately a future steed for sure! And ... "Tripple"... lol ;)

Can you get your hands on a tuono? I'd love to see a review of that.

Go on big guy, test ride a Speed Triple and a B-king next.

Hey Lamb Chop, just wondering, how do you ride in motocross boots? Especially on a sports bike lol, I struggle to ride in them on an enduro bike let alone something more road oriented lol

do the cb1000r and the z1000

Chopsie when are you releasing ride review of 2021 bmw S1000R

I rode S1000R several times. Once you get past the strong engine you start noticing other things. Like the electronic suspension, once I had to brake really hard downhill and the front did not dive at all, that was a revelation! It's also weird how it always pops from the exhaust on throttle off, always the same twin pops, obviously they are pre-programmed by BMW, exciting first couple of times then you forget them, my Daytona 675 pops as well, but those are natural pops, much more exciting. It's a really fast bike, but it steers very slow in corners, which can catch you out if you come from a quicker steering bike. I much preferred Ducati Monster 1200R to S1000R, Ducati is really good and does not understeer. I've tried several versions of Triumph Speed Triple, I generally like Triumph (have Daytona myself, tried versions of Street Triple, Speed Triple, Thruxton R, Bonneville). Yes, the latest Speed Triple S I tried is not as mental as S1000R, but it is more, say, aristocratic, it looks more posh, and feels more substantial, more "manly" kind of, it's more of a relaxed hooligan while BMW feels like a cold-blooded tool.

nyc

Gsx 1000 are softer more comfortable but I rather have S1000r✊🔥🔥

A new 2021 S1000R is coming soon 🏍💨

hey LC try doing the turbo v4r 1100. heard a lot about it

What is your opinion between this and the tuono 1100?

S1000R or Tuono 1100

Oh why is BWS so expensive on maintenance, Aprilia is cheaper

Does it quickshift in all gears?

tis a good bike but I agree with the you, very clinical...I had one but sold it...for those who have one check out replacement prices for the electronic suspenders😲....ya, sit doon first tho laddie lol!!!!

G'day LambChops! Which would you choose? The BMWS1000R or the Aprilia V4 TuonoRR?

I found putting screens on naked bikes tends to aim wind right to ur head, naked bikes are better they way they come from factory, (no screen

oh, so basically, it's a lovely bike...but its just not making you feel get in the ball area lol ;) I'd love you hear what you thing of the s1000xr, simply to round out the family :) And I said it before and I'll say it again, if you could work a Triunph Street Triple R in I'd love you long time :) I know its a lot less power the normal for you, but I'd love to hear what you've got to say about that :)

try the s1000xr next

S1000R or R1250R? Decisions, decisions...

It's all about opinion but the suzuki is not even in the same league as the s1000r imo

do the tuono

The footpegs are at a decent height for us normie sized people chopsy, not everyone came down the beanstock with Jack, your just to big m8

Sorry chopsy lad...I adore ya vids but i disagree with ya comment about the bike is sterile with no character mate....once it hits 6-7k its like sparring with a Grizzly bear. This bike ticks all the boxes. Just buy one lads....you won't regret it👍✌

It doesn't have Cruise Control.

Please test ride an MT 10

Awesome video :D Music: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YXYYCFaUUHQ.html
