BMW out R1'ed the Yamaha R1. This BMW S1000RR is a machine for making your mother wring her hands. Look, it's a bike with the flick-ability of a 600cc with the power of a 1,000cc.
Your provider of German drill bits also refuses to publish technical manuals because then people would realize these are not that complicated to fix and would likely stop visiting dealers for service.
I think this channel is going to convince me to buy a bike. I've always been hesitant to get one because of all of the 3000lb death bullets piloted by distracted housewives, drunks, and teenage girls on the road. OK, I may have just convinced myself to not buy a bike again.
Bill Fakename people crash and get back on more often then the later. But as with anything, be it driving a car, playing a sport, bicycle, skateboarding, surfing etc you can have a real bad day that takes you out of it for good.
Yamaha FZ1000 James Honda954rr Really, holocaust denying is still a thing? I mean, I personally know multiple Holocaust survivors and their children, so if you want to talk to them about how fake the holocaust is it would be much appreciated, maybe you could teach them something. Fucking moron
Had my S1000RR since early 2015, and while I do not ride it at its top since I am not tracking the bike. The only major issue with it since then is the quick shifter cutting out and that is mostly my fault for changing the shifter to an an aftermarket piece and messing up a sensor in the process. On the BMW cars I can see these repair bills being an issue especially among the M series, but the S1000 line has been pretty good. Especially when you consider that the same year I was about to get a brand new R1 which had a recall for a gearbox failure which could cause full lockup at any random speed....
@@user-qd6jt9sd3h they had. They all had a max claimed output of 200kwatts. About 270 horsepower. Even Godzilla was part of it, altho it put down around 310.
TJ Gerrity 1.5L Inline 4-cyl. that makes 70hp. I'm not sure what the actual engine size is in ccs, but it's not big. I know the Accord engine was about 1,100cc so I think mine's smaller than that. :P
If I recall correctly this bike’s electronics and traction management was a real leap forward. Depending on the mode you had it in, it would keep you from looping the thing over, or sliding the rear out in a corner
You've got some dates wrong, dude. The R1 came out in '98 when Rossi was still riding 250s. He didn't ride a Yamaha in MotoGP until 2004. The BMW S1000RR out-R1d the R1 for sure. Any superbike that comes with cruise control and heated grips and goes and stops the way it does deserves its place at the top. I love your vids, man. Not trying to be a dick.
I thought I heard Simple & Clean from Kingdom Hearts in the end song Anyways, entertaining and informative as usual. Best wishes from North-East Pennsylvania 😄
Omg man, I laughed my ass off watching this. Your narratives are so brilliantly done, you had me laughing uproariously in a very quiet office. Well done. Where do you live, I'll let you review my bikes, 2 of them Triumphs. Keep up the supremely entertaining work. I'm gonna go shave my nuts now.
I love my 2015 model, having only been on some mopeds a 2003 Ninja 250 and an 07 R1 this bike is better than anything else I have tried by a long shot. Its comfy, not top heavy, leans in nicely. Traction control and corner ABS have already saved my ass. It has no issue puttering around town. The noise from the intake is amazesauce. And you can tour on it because you have heated grips and cruise control along with an adaptive suspension. I don't know what more you need. It just does everything well.
I love the s1000RR !!! FINALLY someone who did a review on a bike that doesn't receive enough attention. This is hands down the best BMW bike there is. If you gave me a list of bikes to choose from ranging between ( honda, yamaha, suzuki, kawisaki and the BMW ) i would choose the bmw.. only if it was the s1000rr. Other wise i would choose honda. and thats saying alot for me because im a die hard honda fan when it comes to bikes. Im mainly into dirt bikes when it comes to motorized bikes but if i ever were to get a street bike it would be either a CBR or this.
Three things. That pupper was adorable. Simple and Clean cover was on point. What's the story with that wonky headlight? Threw me off whenever I saw the front end.
Motorcycles do not really need 2 great headlights. In endurance racing, most motorbikes only use one headlight. I guess BMW followed that and gave 2 different kinds of headlights to create that asymmetric face
***** Its actually all to do with airflow. The split design is just a a BMW thing to make them look different. They had to add the second headlight to get them road legal BUT they went with the small round light as it saves 300 grams haha. The body styling is different on the left and right sides as well, purely to vent heat evenly. This bike is the result of function over form motorcycle design.
Haha, loved that Kingdom Hearts "Simple and Clean" remix in the end. Took me a moment to catch on. Fun noticing the parodies. :3 Still not much for bikes but always good to know these kinda things. Not one I really ever see here, mostly low end stuff and HARLEYS.
Sports tires are great and all but not everyone can afford to spend $300+ every 5-6,000 miles. PR3's can last a solid 12k at least. And for what it's worth, those tires are actually really grippy. Not something you'd use on the track but more than adequate for street use. You'd have to be going recklessly fast in order to start slipping on them.
tnnss111 Aprilia's RSV4 has won more Superbike and Superstock championships than the BMW. Also, in most reviews both in Europe and the USA it usually comes ahead of the BMW I like BMW (pre-E90 M3s, endurance racing, Dakar Rally bikes...) but the Aprilia is better. Also, the _gold standard_ of superbikes were both the Mv Agusta and the Ducati and you have to be an utter fanboy to say the R1 was the best one
Hey, Mr. Regular, I've been thinking about getting a bike. I'm a rather large person (5'9, 230 lbs.), I'm going to be doing some interstate driving, and a once yearly 200 Mi. trip as well as commuting What do you recommend? I've been looking at some old '70s CB750s, but I'm not sure if they'd be right starting out.
+engasal If that were true, they wouldn't put kill switches on bikes.... Unless you can explain in great detail how that works, myself and everyone else who understands mechanics on this website is laughing at you. Keep that in mind.
+StandardFish450 I am currently studying motorcycle mechanics at college and I don't see how in any way the kill switch will wear any part other than the physical switch itself. From what I've learnt all the kill switch does it cut the spark, therefore cutting the engine out as there is no return force pushing the Pistons down from top dead center - the same thing happens when you turn the key off, and at least on all the bikes I've owned and seen the fuel pump doesn't prime when you hit the kills switch, so I can't think of any way this could damage the bike.
3 years later the German engineers product is no longer operational and the Japanese one shows no signs of slowing down. And before all of you get butt-hurt, I own a GS and an F30 325i
The best thing about the 2014 BMW s1000rr was that the blinkers automatically turned off after a turn. It also has emergency flashers lol. I miss my Precious 😩
