BMW S1000RR long term test review | MCN | Motorcyclenews.com 

If its 4 wheels I ask Chris Harris. Involving two wheels Michael Neeves is the man to ask.

Great video. High quality. Honest, incisive and entertaining. And, what a bike!

Neeves goes beast mode. Always an informative listen and a beautiful thing to see!

Great post, great review. The best thing about the new BMW S1000RR, they have been NASA approved as a stage 1 rocket ship.

Great video, the fact that you speak so calmly is good to relax and enjoy the video. And this bike is beautiful !

Could watch your reviews all day Michael. Great stuff thank you...

Love your channel! Been watching you since 2007. You should have million subs brother

Can’t get enough of this beautiful S1000RR🏁💙

Another super professional and personal review. Thanks Michael.

Really good report and lovely track film work, you can tell the admiration you have for the bike already: enjoy the coming months on it

Michael u do more than just a review..... best as always. .. keep it up!

Excellent, looking forward to the rest of the years reviews 👍🏻

Nice bike! That SOS button made me smile...

Great commentary and insight into the details of the bike, excellent.

Better job than most reviews. Thanks.

Thanks for another informative review

You are my hero! Keep up the great work.

Wow the wood grain matching on the fence behind him is great!

Brilliant video. Just got my S1000R Sport and was good hearing about her big brother :)

Michael Neeves- always been my favourite MCN bike reviews. Keep up the good work and the honest opinions

Takes courage to ride that fast, especially on the nurnburgring with all those cars!

Very good and complete review thanks!

Great video as always Michael...😎

Great review as usual. Thank you. 👍

Another awesome review videos Good job Micheal 👍🏻 What a beautiful bike and awesome performances 🥳 .

Glad to hear how impressed you are, I’m still very new to the bike scene, had my license for a year and my CBR600F ( 2001 model ) still takes my breath away, but I’m happy watching all you content to see what I might have in 3 or 4 years time !! Can’t you spray the engine protector gold ?

Great video man just great!!! Thanks.

Just found a new way to do cardio....sit on an exercise bike and watch neevsey do a couple of laps on the RR

Yeasss nicest to see Nerves back!

Always worth the wait for your reviews, and this is as expected, detailed and to the point.

who would ever think Carbon Fiber wheels, the name BMW, and the phrase "Value Leader" could all be used the same sentence...? this is like an episode of the TWILIGHT ZONE...!

That looked fun plunging down Paddock Hill Bend 👍👍

Great review man

Great review!!

Great review, Thanks :)

Great video. The wind had some great opinions.

Excellent review 👍🏻👌

she looks and sounds awesome 👏🏻

Very impressive. As far as looks go, this thing looks great. Definitely vying for my favorite looking bike vs the V4S (which I'd steer clear of, but still looks amazing).

Nice review

Christ alive, that Brands footage is awesome!!

Michael congrats for your team winning the world cup. Finally🇬🇧

What a beautiful machine!

Great review.

That was a very nice summary of the bike.

Great review. I've owned the 2020 RR M Sport since Aug 2019 and now have about 6500 miles on it. It is a fabulous machine. Amazingly refined and thoughtfully designed. It is better than the previous generation in almost every way. The electronics are terrific, both the riding dynamics and the luxury features provided by the TFT/Bluetooth, etc. It's remarkable that on a track-ready superbike BMW provides phone/helmet/bike integration, Nav, music, phone, cruise control, self-canceling turn signals, hill stop assist and a brilliant performance app. The last enables you to chronical your rides and replay them on a map replete with speeds, acceleration/braking, lean angles, etc. It has been problem-free. I've only had to bring it in for my 600 mile and 6000 mile services, though on the last they performed the oil-cooler replacement recall. My biggest ownership expense is tires, but that's not a bad problem to have. This has been my best two-wheel purchase ever.

Holy sh*t you were able to ride out that 3rd gear from down low with explosive power on the track!! Crazy!!

Can't believe you gave up pies, that's a difficult situ haha. This bike looks way too quick, and you say you didn't lean on it too much. What a beast of a bike, great reviews as always.

Love the bike.... And that lap of Brands Hatch... Damn I'd love to have a go at that track..... And be able to ride like that, too.

Good review. MCN really doesn't produce enough vids. I know they have the paper to 'protect', but more output here might actually help. (Like an occasional mcn 250 summary)

Great review

Went to the showroom the last day and sat on one and started it up. My first time seeing it in the metal. Really comfortable to sit on - yes the seat is hard so I would have to see how I got on with that long term but there is some comfort seat available. I want one to use as an everyday bike so no track days. I could see myself doing a lot of touring on it with its sat nav and heated grips. It would be great for the odd Sunday blast too. Can't wait to get one now. Dealer (in Ireland) said waiting time from date of order is 10 weeks. Have to ride their demo but they won't let anybody ride it on wet roads so this being Ireland I may have to wait a bit.

Beast of a bike !!

Thanks

Awesome, I’ll upgrade next year.

Great review I'm hoping these arrive here in new Zealand soon with a reasonable price tag or I might end up with the 2018 instead haha

Kneeves working the gun show for this vid 💪

I am a car guy myself, but miss those trademark front lights on this thing...nice bike do.

The value for money, i agree. Awesome motorcycle 👍🏽

Stunning Bike. Beautiful.

can tell he's been wringing the neck out of race bikes by the size of his pumped up biceps... keep up the good work 👍

Amazing reviews Michael , Watch all your videos and could watch it all day . If you had to buy one bike and one bike only , which bike would you buy that s all around bike . What type of watch are you wearing ?

Would you say this is the best road super bike going? And if you had one choice right now would you choose the BWM S100RR as your everyday bike? 🙏 Thanks

I wish I had one so fantastic and cool

Just beautiful

Great vid. I have the same bike. 22 Blue m brakes on mine though.

very tasty riding there on track.

Very good review. Mirrors on racetrack? 😉

50 mpg from such a refined beast aand sat Nav. Impressive as hell

awesome...

Great review as always. I wish I had the skills and 40 years no claims to be able to justify buying one. I noticed the panigale v4 review was more about how you felt on it, and this was more about how it impressed you. I wonder which you’d rather pay your own £ for?

I like it!

Someday...... ❤

Nice review. One point: ergonomics vs old bike?

Hey Michael if you had to choose this new BMW 2020 or a Honda fireblade 1000? What would you prefer, Are you looking forward to the 2020 Honda CBR 1000 it’s supposed to be upgraded

when will it stop. how good can they get. damn! id love to ride one

Hi Neevesy - what gloves are you wearing? Great review by the way 😀👍🏻

Veryy awesome 🙏🤗

Blitzer forever! I hope they make a 600cc version of it.

Awesome bike , lots of great improvements , and best of all . . . it doesn't look like an owl with one eye poked out...

I don't understand their options, would you buy all the electronic options (pro mode whatever) for a race bike or just stick with a base model?

My new dream bike... and its a BMW

Need!!!

Birds, pigeons and all the nature cheers the new BMW S1000RR :))) Great bike✌️

Would you call this a Sportbike or a Sport Tourer ? Many say its slightly more upright riding position now and in road mode could be classed as a tourer?

How does it compare to your R1 long termer? I ask as I've had a 2015 R1 for 5yrs and fancy a change and I'm thinking this is the one to go for.

If would be great if you could share the Electronics settings & Suspension settings ect that you would reccomend on track, perhaps for an Intermediate and advanced track rider

Hey! Quick question: I haven’t ridden in 10 years. My last bike was a Harley Davison dyna low rider, about 1500cc. I’m thinking I would like to get the bmw k1600gt or the s1000rr. You and my son actually inspired me to get back into riding. Which would you recommend?

Yeah I ordered mine in May and I’m not getting it till February next year

I wonder what these camshafts are made of

with super bikes in this range you actually only can decide using your taste of design and the ergonomics other then that they all perform at fractions of a second differences which you as a rider can improve on your skills

What route do you take to the ring?

Good review... unfortunately now I want one ✌️

any major change in parts? like engine problems?

My old (2015!) RR doesn't have an outside temp gauge... but it does tell you the intake air temp, which is a perfectly good replacement for that. The new RR doesn't give you intake air temp?

Please post your NC500 experience Micheal … please.

How's the wheels? Is the CF strong enough for the road?

How often does chain need to be cleaned and lubed?

Don’t really know much about bikes always been a car guy but it blew my mind when you said it gets 50mpg 😂😂.
