Yeah sure 👍, "AmAziNg" job with engineering but still not half as reliable as the japanese and not to mention those service and maintenance costs, cost of spares etc. Apart from that, it's a great bike.
@@rabidev.4938 I don't find the maintenance cost that much, and so far, my S1000R has been more reliable than my friend's Ducatis and Aprilias. Sure the Jap bike are a tad cheaper and a bit more reliable, but I'll still take the leader in engineering any day. What's funny is that it's reversed in the car world, when it comes to high end sport/track cars. BMWs are the inexpensive, in terms of ownership and maintenance lol. It's all relative.
Base price is under 19K which makes it by far the best bang for your buck! For $2,500 more you can add all the extra bells to it, still making it the best bang for your buck. First service is also not $700 at most dealers, you got ripped.
Its the best liter bike in its class flat-out. Only thing people say is it's "too perfect". Each his own though, me personally, I've never dove into a corner with my S1K and, said, "I wish this bike was crappier and had more 'character' [flaws]".
Thats similar with any of the 1000cc superbikes. One peice of side fairing on a Yamaha or Honda is about 4 to 500 brand new. So imagine a new gas tank. It's normal dude. Bikes are expensive toys
layed down my Yamaha FZ 8 , needed a new rear wheel -> yamaha charged 990 Dollar for it. For that amount you get the forged wheels from BMW ... same goes for the "windshield" its naked bike, its basiclly a cover for the speedometer wich is super tiny, yamaha charged me 200 for that... so yeah not all is as it may seems
YaMMie, You HaD Me @ 12:01 -- "Dante's 7th LaYeR BuRRiTo THRouGH HeLL" ....!!! YAM, You are The MaN, the MaiN MaN..!! .... Referencing DANTE ALIGHIERI was a Master-Stroke
@ThaBootyBandit Yeah, definitely... I was meaning more in ergo's and style than performance. BMW actually used a K5 Gsxr1000 as a blueprint for the very first S1000R.
@@paulhope3401BMW reversed engineered 10 Suzuki K5’s to make the S1000RR the father of the S1000RR is the Gixxer K5. That’s why it feels light and nimble and narrow like a 600 the same way the K5/6 does.
Got so many things wrong here. You CAN do your own maintenance without voiding warranty. First service doesn't cost half of what you stated. Also forgot to mention the 2023 S1k and all the upgrades from the previous models. I just hope your viewers do their own research when it comes to these bikes. Been riding rockets over 20 years. Coming from a life long Honda fan boy it Doesn't get much better than an S1K. I'm on my second one. "BMW scoff"
In the statates the price for the first maintenance in a BMW can vary a lot, it dependes of how much the dealer is charhing for the labour. You can easly find users reporting first maintenace from 280 to 700 us dollars if you google a bit. They’ll do an oil change, check for metal, torque bolts, flash (unlock the bike), so Yammie is not wrong. Also, seems only the us and perhaps a few other countrys let you do you own maintenaces, for example here in mexico the dealer have to do the maintenance to not void the warranty, this applys to any car or bike.
I'll tell you what I want, psst. It's a bmw alright. But an r18 transcontinental. Or atleast ,that's what it is called in the market in this region. So what's your opinion on that?
Waited ages for my brand new m1000 ..when I finally got it ...I was disappointed...was to Vanilla and terrible breaks..took it back and got a v4s ...and the ducati craps on it 😂 biggest waste of money I had ever spent
I'm super surprised that you haven't mentioned the 9k rpm power loss in any of ur videos. This bike really needs at least a BT stage 1 or equivalent tune to really unleash the full fun factor
Im shopping around for an s1000rr at the moment and i do like the m1000rr however if i was looking to spend m1000rr $ on a motorcycle i’d get a Kawasaki H2 instead
Bmw needs a 600-750 it would get way more people into the bmw pipeline they have the 310 as a naked sports-ish bike then it’s 1000 and I think they could make a very competitive bike that would help out in the dying breed that is 600cc sport bikes
Very comfy bike. The ergonomics package is still quite committed but it won't have you doing push ups and writhing with back pain like the other liter bikes. Big thanks to those well positioned handlebars. Wide and not too low or high.
Yammie be like this bike is amazing and the best bike on the planet. I would to if i was giving it away when people purchased my merch 😂. On a serious note I’ve owned a 2021 S1000RR and own a 50th anniversary Sao Paulo M1000RR they’re great bikes. Yammie laying it on thickkkkkkkk.
@@shauns5278 and showa USD forks, dual disc brakes, lighter wheels, a new swing arm, new showa shock, pilot road 6 tires, new cam shaft, new pistons, new injectors, and it's 5 pounds lighter. All that has been updated since the 2019 model he reviewed.
Crazy How expensive a S1Krr is in the States here in Germany a fully spec S1000rr Brand New from the dealer costs 19-20,5k Euros and Service is around 250-350euro
This is just my opinion, but if you’re going to get a slow bike you should just get a grom or a z125 they’re much more fun.. getting a full sized bike with a small engine kind of sucks because you can’t do any of the fun hooligan stuff like you would on a grom or a z125 and you also cant really do any of the fun stuff people do on full size bikes.. i suppose it would be a decent commuter but it’s kind of the worst of both worlds. I was able to commute on my grom and my s1000rr and they’re both more fun than a cbr500r
wait, base trim $25K? hmmmm not sure if that is accurate. The S1000RR M package I would agree, not the base model. I believe the base is around 17k but good luck finding one because most dealers add at least a couple options. Turn off all the driving aids, add a brentune and then this bike definitely has some character, otherwise I do agree, this thing feels like a 600 under 8K RPM.
i did a test ride at bmw in germany and dude that bike is impressive... when you lay down on the tank the bike knows what you want it to do, like mind reading
The most wins of the Moto Grand Prix championships by a manufacturer is eight and was achieved by Honda (Japan) in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. why no mention of Honda poppa Noob?
I worked at a bmw dealership service. I you want to have alot of electrical problems with your bikes, its a good choices. In only one year, 5 cuatomers with a new s1000RR couldn't even ride their bike because it was stored in our shop because we couldnt find the problems 😂 For the part for warranty, it all depends where you live. In quebec, yiu can do everything yourself, you just need receipts proof
Bro! I'm sorry you're getting up-charged like crazy on your BMW bikes, Base MSRP is not 25k and $700 first service is wild. They don't even charge that much in California!
I’m a noob, completely. I’ll enter that giveaway….. so I can sell the bike and get a smaller/friendly bike, and pocket a couple k for street gear and some quality tires.
Maybe someone with more knowledge can shed some light on this for me... But I really can't see the point in 220bhp for the following reason. When you look at power maps the power seems to be restricted to say 60 percent and barely ever 80 or upwards for the majority of the power band probably worse with traction control on. At least with wired throttle you could choose how much power you have. They seem to massively limit the available power which seems to defeat the point.
They dont need dealer service receipt to honor warranty. Been owning a 2021 since brand new. Only brought my bike to dealer to do warranty work. Never bee. Asked for receipts.
If I won a bike like this I would ride until the next service is due just to check it out and then sell ASAP just because of the upkeep cost. I just bought an XR150L just because I don't need to go 190 MPH or spend that kind of money to maintain it and have my fun on a bike. More fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. And riding an almost 40K bike on the street would make me cringe just thinking how fast it could be totaled by an insurance company if I laid it down or some cager hit me like when I was young on my brand new FZ600. They broke my crankcase cover where it still held oil but, insurance called it totaled because it required full engine tear down to replace. Other than that this is surely a badass bike.
@@chalky042 I've been riding for almost 50 years and and the end of my riding life so I don't need to be spending 40K on a motorcycle I'll rarely ride and he said it himself in the video his first service which has to be done at the dealer was $700. That was probably an oil change and other fluid checks and adjustments. Wait until it needs bigger services. My other bike is the RD400 in profile PIC which I'd also rather ride.
@@RedBud315glad you managed to survive 50 years of riding bro, I have been running my gen 1 for the last 10k miles including doing my own big service, if I had a new bmw I’d 100% but it with a service pack because it makes sense to have a main dealer service history from new to preserve the value
@@RedBud315 The valve check is the only "big" service most people will likely run into (every 18K miles). It's about 1000 bucks if you have a dealer do it and the oil/air filter at the same time. Just the valves, it's around 600 bucks. I do everything else myself, oil is
Its an amazing bike. Sold my 2021 Panigale and went into a RR, aside from the sound and Ducati red paint.. it beats it in every other way for the owner.
BMW service is insane. It’s cheaper to maintenance than my Yamaha and Kawasaki and they aren’t liter bikes! Add a BMW 7 year warranty for $1000 and you’re set. For those saying they’re boring, turn off the electronics if you want. Nothing boring about the S1000RR either way.
Your sponsor is hilarious. By the time I ride my bike to therapy, I won't need therapy! 😅 Nvm, my past experience with therapy has been without any breakthroughs...
Good history lesson! Just bought a 23 S1000XR M package. Explains why this quick-shifter is the best in the market. I'm old (55), and spent the extra $$ on all of the extra nannies to keep the rubber-side-down. Looked at Ducati & KTM, but believe it or not, BMW reliability wins in this case. I know the XR is apples to oranges, but all of the RR goodness has trickled down and make my old FJ09 and older FZ1 seem like antiques! Brembo brakes stop on a dime. Active suspension is awesome. Wheelie control... check! And, still comfortable enough my wife will get on the back for a run for our $10 cappucinos 🤣 Yup, I'm a yuppie biker!
You deliberately withheld critical information about how the S1000RR came about. The folks at BMW reverse engineered the bike you hate the most, K5 GSXR 1000.
It's only so "perfectly boring and soulless" if you yourself are boring and flavorless. You also don't have to go to the dealer. You can do it yourself and just document it and it'll be fine as long as you're not a poptart and break anything. The R1 is really nice but the rider triangle is terrible.
Anyone wants a 2014 EBR (Buell) 1190RX, all customized. Carbon fiber and fiberglass fairings. Upgraded dash, just over 2000 miles on a new overhauled engine. Spare engine follow must be overhauled. Tons of other parts.
