Here we go again! The new bike isn't actually 35 years old this time 😂
Sorry that this video is rather short - I should be at the ABR Festival right now but I had to get something published for you folks! Might be a couple of weeks before the next video due to work commitments, sorry!

Nice, you can never have enough bikes, it’s a collection or addiction, haven’t worked that out yet! Have fun!

@EVILSPAWN1003 6 дней назад

Congrats on a spectacular bike. I did the same thing only two, no three weeks ago. 2024 S1000 XR TE in «gravity blue» I am IN LOVE with this bike! Not missing the SuperDuke at all, the XR is a superbike on stilts

@@RikkyTang I’ve got a 1250R, love it, but I am rather jealous of your new purchase. I was tossing up between the two and the torque of the 1250 , and the price , just edged out a 2020 XR. Looking fwd to see what happens over the next 12 mths. Rubber side down

Congratulations on the new bike! I need to get updated on what happened to the bmw R bike you had and why you got rid of it. For some reason I have not been getting your videos for a long time but I have been looking for them and finally I got this one. I would like to see what led to this and what happened to your other bmw and how Many miles you put on it and why this bmw? What about the RS 1250 etc. Thanks

@RikkyTang 14 дней назад

Cheers! I'm hoping I'll not have a problem with the seat, but I suspect I'll be trying out more that one! What a bike though, loving it so far!

@nickhignett942 13 дней назад

Nice reveal video👍🏻, how does feel and compare to the R1250R that you had previously pros and cons

@RikkyTang 12 дней назад

Thanks Nick. I will be bring out a first impressions video hopefully this Sunday where I do compare it to the 1250... basically the 1250 beats this bike in the low-midrange torque area, but in most other places the S1000XR feels like a step up from what I had before 😁

@nickhignett942 12 дней назад

@tigerick7291 10 дней назад

Is the seat comfortable, it doesn't look it. And does it lock you into one position?

@chrisbarnes9260 14 дней назад

Hi Ricky , when you wound it up it sounded great. Any plans to CNC a range of Ricky’s performance parts 😊

@RikkyTang 12 дней назад

Yes it may be time to come up with some unique parts and get a friendly engineering firm to knock them out! First problem I see is I don't think I can fit Evotech crash bungs and keep my fog lights attached at the same time 😉

@AmenCornerRider 14 дней назад

Awesome choice! I wanted to try one but it felt too big and top heavy for me. Enjoy

@RikkyTang 12 дней назад

Thank you! Yes the weight is a bit of a shame and I do have to be mindful when pushing it back and forth... but to get this performance combined with comfort there has to be a compromise somewhere 😊

@alexmorgan3435 14 дней назад

Are there any vibes through the bars, foot pegs or through the seat or tank? I ask as I really wanted an S1000R in 2019 so rode one, but had to get off after 15 minutes as the vibes were so bad then rode it straight back to the BMW dealer. Such a shame as I love the look of the S1000R and XR and also the RR. I guess the M series are even more mental. I am a Honda and Triumph rider and the bikes I have are by and large vibe free.

@RikkyTang 12 дней назад

I had a 2019 S1000R and I didn't find the vibes a big problem. It similar with the XR too - yes you do feel vibes at different revs through the seat, tank, bars and pegs... so far (longest ride so far is only about 80 miles) the vibes aren't annoying or making parts of my go numb! Maybe it's partly because this bike already has 5000 miles on the clock and it nicely bedded in? But I think Hondas and Triumphs are still likely the smoother marques.

@alexmorgan3435 12 дней назад

@@RikkyTang Maybe. Thanks for your reply. Such a shame as I love the engine in the S1000R, RR and XR, and looks of the S1000R also the new recent XR but I just couldn't get on with the vibes. I would have thought BMW would have engineered their bikes so vibes would be non existent. Maybe I try one again, but sadly it really put me off first time. I ride a Honda Blackbird, buttery smooth, VFR800 6th gen,no vibes what so ever and a Speed Triple RS also every smooth and vibe free.

@inked-96 13 дней назад

What height are you? And just note that flashing a bike in Warranty will void it. Friend had his done on his XR, had a warranty job, and bmw then voided his warranty after finding out it was tuned.

@RikkyTang 12 дней назад

I'm 5'7 (170cm). As I understand it BMW will have to prove that the tune was a contributory factor in the warranty claim i.e. if the claim is regarding the wheels or suspension then a tune will not affect this.

@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou 14 дней назад

Yeah nice, flash her but i wouldn't decat if it's a regular user, possibly a bit too loud.

@RikkyTang 14 дней назад

Well that is a fair point, but I'm the impatient type and also have unrealistic expectations... so I have already got a set of headers for it, and I hope to somehow end up with that fat midrange that you get with the decat, but be quiet enough for UK track days.... it's unlikely, but I'll try!

@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou 14 дней назад

@@RikkyTang good man. I had my gsx s1000 flashed within a few months of ownership and a full Lextec on 2 years later ie this year. The k5 is torquey to begin with but flashing and full system really does help. Not too noisy but best with a baffle, for a little back pressure too.

@RikkyTang 12 дней назад

@@BarnettSpeedSuzukiThou I'm hoping to drop in one of those honeycomb style DB killers in the link pipe if possible - I had good results on the 1250 with that.

@karlos3611 14 дней назад

Hi Ricky...Im a big fan of your channel the way you review and give honest feedback.Congrats on new bike they are fantastic the only issue i had with mine was the seat...Now it wasn't that it was uncomfortable it was mainly the seating position to foot pegs i noticed this straight away specially on the longer trips it would cause pain in my hip and it only happened on that bike there isn't much room if any to move around. So after you have owned and ridden it for a while i would really appreciate your view on this matter.. Stonking engine great handling fantastic Quickshifter. The chain can slap a bit on the swing arm but they have fitted a guard there now so that improved.. And like your 1250R i went through numerous screens and found the smallest possible worked out better for me. I am patient and will await your reviews after you've had the bike a while nice one..Enjoy ABR👍👍

@RikkyTang 14 дней назад

Hi Karlos thanks for you comments and thoughts 😊 yes the seat does worry me! After about an hour I start to notice it and then it's probably a good idea to get off the bike for a few mins. Funnily enough the seat/peg distance is much shorter on my VFR believe it or not! Lots of ideas for videos are in the planning. Thanks for watching the channel 😊

@karlos3611 14 дней назад

@@RikkyTang Hi Ricky its not so much the distance between seat and foot pegs its more the position they are in relation to each other and the seat does not allow any body adjustment... I tried a few things with no luck I'm gutted because i loved the bike but it crippled me. Im sure you will find a way if there is one? we are all built so differently that's another issue in itself. Like you if there are issues with any bike im very quick to find them and will speak out regardless of owning the bike. Thanks for rely to comment👍

@austinmatthews347 13 дней назад

I bought a red one new in 22 mate didnt get on with it footpeg get in the way when you come to a stop its top heavy the power takes some reaching. It can be remapped ti get more bottom end but an £18k bike should be right from factory. It was vibey also on idle its sounded horrible traded it for the king of the road gsa 1250 te rallye absolute beast

@RikkyTang 12 дней назад

The vibes aren't too bad for me and I think once flashed to get away from the Euro 5 restrictions the bike will become the machine that BMW wanted to release. At least that what I hope... I loved my 1250R, but after 2.5 years I was missing that tope end kick that this bike delivers and that will make it great fun on track.

@austinmatthews347 12 дней назад

@@RikkyTang one of the things a tune can do is get the power in sooner on the throttle and stop that silly high revving on idle. Dont get me wrong as with most bmw bikes its extremeley capable i rode aroynd the highlands in 22 and rode through hail and rivers of water and it inspired quick riding even in hail. Very planted. But imo bmw should tune it from factory to have quicker throttle also its too heavy as hell . One day i started to chase a 1250rs up holme moss i thought "i will pass this ytactor easily" well i couldnt gain on it at all and thats torque mate. Since getting my tractor i have added a daytona 955i

@paulneedham3608 14 дней назад

@blitzer109 14 дней назад

@RikkyTang 14 дней назад

Yeah the seat is a concern I have to say.... about an hour ay a time is OK so far. Guess I'll just have to see how it goes. There are alternative seats if you have the money... I might have to sell a kidney first 😅 Editing this comment to add that I just realised that this is the M-Sport seat which is the same height as the standard one i.e. 20mm higher than the Low seat they sell. So I'm hoping that I can live with this one!
