12 month owner review of the S1000RR

[@davidbadham3712]

I'm 61, been riding for 45 years and absolutely love my RR M Sport. Ride it loads, your body will soon get used to it, the bloody thing is awesome and worth every penny👌

[@CandlejackZA]

Do you think 1000mi (1600km) trip in one day would be too much to do for a middle-aged body to handle? I'm really having trouble pulling the trigger on this bike, as it would be the only bike that i own. I've been riding for 17 years but mostly nakeds and cruisers, but im sick of those now.

[@dogie61]

@@CandlejackZA I'm 41 have been riding an 2012 s1000 RR since 2014. It's a great bike. I've taken it on 6 hour rides when I lived in Hawaii with no roblems. Depending on your height may be better or worse. Im 5'9 and the woman I bought it from was even shorter. If you back is up to it go for it. If you can find someone to let you test it it might help.

[@THE-APEX]

@@CandlejackZA The RR is not designed for 1000 mile days. I have an FJR 1300, and at 850 miles in a day, I was more than happy to get off the bike. And, the FJR is known for IBR wins. I’m 57, have ridden for decades, and I’m also drawn to the RR, and also wonder more simply, can I ride it all day, comfortably? My rides are often 8 hours, two or three days at a time. Maybe the RR can’t be my only bike? It’s 250 lbs lighter, and 50hp faster - and that’s a big draw for me.

[@jordangarrick703]

Go with a new Kawasaki ZX-14R. The S1000RR is a great bike, but you'll find the Kawi more user friendly for longer rides....

[@Lar308]

@@CandlejackZA That kind of mileage is tough even in a car. I am 64 and I do a 600km round trip on mine in one day to get it serviced and by the time I am home I have had enough. But that is the same on all my bikes so I think 600km is enough on any bike in one day - more is possible of course but then safety becomes a factor.

[@michaelherman3184]

I have to say I loved this video. I am 43 years old and have many aches and pains from years of living. I'm switching from a bagger to something a bit more sporty. My first thought was a 2024 Hayabusa but I was also thinking of the S1000RR. I appreciate your point of view. Most youtubers talk about "OMG this is wicked fast and it can smoke these other bikes!" I appreciate that you talk about what the real ride experience is for the majority of NON SQUDS out there. Everyday people like to ride and we also like horse power, however, we also like comfort! Honestly this bike appeals to me for the display, the heated grips, nav, and all the built in blue tooth and technological goodies along with the speed and what a superbike might bring to the table!

[@yodomcat]

It’s amazing, wish my body allowed me to keep it; but one year of owning made me a much better rider (you have with that much speed) and when looking off the RR to R I felt like a big fish back in a little pond (in a good way) so you can’t really go wrong 👍🏻

[@michaelherman3184]

@@yodomcat I had a 2003 Hayabusa back when my twin boys were 2 years old. I went through a divorce and saw myself going down a rough path taking chances I shouldnt so I sold it. Fast forward now Im 43 and my kids are in college and Im on a 2019 Indian Springfield Dark Horse and I hate it! Cant wait to get back on something with guts. Still thinking Ill go back to a Hayabusa mainly for comfort, but man this RR is really interesting!

Spot on man. This bike is fantastic because it's easy. I'm 50, and I own an M1000RR, first superbike ever in 30 years of riding. I agree with everything you mentioned, brilliant and honest review. Crazy bike, but so easy to handle. Brings a smile every time.

[@Sisu2280]

I have the same bike as you... I'm 43, riding 25 years, use the S1000RR to commute everyday in all weather and its the best city bike I've ever owned. Came from a 1290 Superduke. Anyone who thinks they're too tall, old, or drive in the city too much, just give this bike a month or so and you'll be hooked!

[@TheInfantry98]

Whats up Gramps?

[@augustusfellacio4307]

Can you explain why this is the best city bike you’ve had? I’ve just bought one waiting to pick it up and live in the city and thought it would be worse than a naked bike

[@NJLinSpain]

I have just come across your excellent and very informative video. It was extremely timely because at the age of 68 I have been seriously thinking about exchanging my S1000RR for something more sedate (for example, an R nineT). .I am avid cyclist and typically go out for 4-5 hour rides, so comfort on a motorcycle is not an issue,. Your video reinforces my inclination to keep my RR. It is a beautifully engineered machine and riding it is a joy. I have a feeling that if I exchange it, I will inevitably be disappointed with its replacement. Thank you for taking the time to put together your video.

[@johnlatorre7500]

Great review. I'm almost 41 and thinking about getting one of these. I've had a Daytona 675, Ducati 899 and an MV Agusta F3 800. So although an upsize, the power wasn't a concern regarding ability to ride it. However, was interested to see how this is as a road bike. If BMW made an 800, I'd get it. But sadly they don't. You answered a logical question. Cheers.

[@teej710]

What a great, honest review. Don't knock yourself too much. Confidence and road craft comes with time and experience. Modern rider aids inspire confidence, but also help keep you alive, when you get too over confident. Clearly the bike seems a good match for you.

[@arobinson3767]

I like how you are open about the areas of your riding that need improvement, also that you talk about riding anxious or nervous. Bikes are all too often all about pub talk and racing your mates.

[@yodomcat]

Thanks 🙏🏻 I have a few videos covering my nerves and anxiety; for me it’s important to talk about in case it helps someone with the same; because I nearly quit riding at the start and so so please I stuck with it. 🤙🏻

You can get risers for this bike. I’m fine on any sports bike below 5 hours.

[@Image-X]

Bike is almost here now. 🤟 Forgot to mention but I am almost 49 and still love riding superbikes. I’ve had lower back issues in the past but these bikes never bother my back and almost make it feel better due to the leaned over position that seems to stretch out lower back. I am grateful for that!

[@THE-APEX]

[@THE-APEX]

@@Image-X WOW! Looks AWESOME! Did you do a full SC system or is that the slip on. Did you do a Bren tune also? I don’t think I would do a tune until three year warranty expired. I’ve got two FJR 1300s right now and would enjoy the 250 lb weight saving and 50+ more hp. Have fun!

[@Image-X]

@@THE-APEX I went with an Akrapovic titanium header and the SC1-R can. I did do a Bren Stage 1. It’s almost a must. You can always flash it back to stock before taking it in for any warranty work. Some dealers aren’t concerned if the bike has been tuned.

Glad to take you down nostalgia lane 😹 and glad you liked the vid 👍🏻

[@DouglasSonders]

Howdy from the states. Im 41 too and been riding 5 years but got more enthusiastic in the past 2 years. I bought an R9T that I love and will keep forever. I ride it around NYC but been eyeing a casual sports bike for weekends and MAYBE a track day but didnt want to buy a bike too powerful for me. Ive been eyeing this and the Ducati and the Supersport. This has definitely helped swing me towards an s1000rr. Thanks mate

[@yodomcat]

I’d deffo have this over the Ducati. If you were comparing to a streetfighter naked then no, but Panigale vs RR you get so much more with the BMW. If you want less power put the RR in a lower mode; unless you can’t be trusted, then get the supersport 😂

[@davidschef3790]

G'day mate. Great vid, thanks. I I think I'm a similar rider to yourself and just enjoyed hearing your honesty. I ride a R1250R which is awesome, but still looking for that sport bike rush (track?). So your view is really, really refreshing. I wish it was more the norm on you tube. All the best, mate

[@JakeStrada]

Im 52 and thinking of changing my Ducati Multistrada 1260s for an RR M Sport

[@samk2570]

Love your opening comments, everything you said resonated with me.

[@ChokolateSushi23]

That’s funny. A 16 Daytona 675R was my 2nd bike, and the 21 S1000RR I ride now became my 3rd bike. Pretty similar journey to yours, however my first bike was a 15 Ducati Scrambler and not an R125

[@G-Man01]

I think the most concerning thing has been feedback from people regarding its reliability. If you check Motomillian's latest video regarding his experience with the M1000RR, it has made me pause. I'm referring to the 2024 bikes that have the winglets. Not sure what the story is concerning reliability, but I'd say there's a reason they're now offering a 5 year warranty. However if a warranty fix is required at any stage, I would then be concerned about whether or not they'd honour the warranty. In that respect, Yamaha, Honda and Kawasaki are probably safer bets as reliable and cost effective superbikes. The BMW is lower on insurance, but higher in servicing. The Japanese bikes are the reverse. Higher on insurance but lower when servicing.

[@yodomcat]

As bikes become more complicated they will go the way of cars and reliability will be a luck game.

[@ASMODAY1K]

Been commuting on mine for 2 years. Only gripe is that you need to invest in coils. It's a failure at some point on most of these bikes and I've had to take mine in for 4 coils. And it's been said that it was due to the previous manufacturer before moving them to Japan? But still no recall, as bmw loves to do.

[@harrycalibra]

Im coming up to bus pass age getting my hands on some creds and will be purchasing either the 2021/22 S1000RR M sport at the end of the year really looking forward to it . My current bike which I've owned for the passed 25 years which I restored 7 years ago a 1990 ZXR750H2 love that thing to bits these bikes are 32 years apart like chalk and cheese.

46 in the US I'm always riding something either dirt or street. Last 2 street bikes were a R7 and R1m. Grew up riding sport bikes with 0 rider aids so all the bells and whistles are nice. Thinking getting one of these or a Tuono 660. Want something nice to look at, cable and something I can ride for 2hrs just cruising without thinking about comfort

[@yodomcat]

From what you say you want you should go with the Tuono… but it’s not a RR 😈

[@ghostlakedaku]

Man I’m on my second litre bike. I’m 27. Been riding for almost 6 years now. Had an 09 R1 then a 14 Aprilia RSV4. I live in Alberta so lots of long rides through the Rockies. Had two R6 before as well. None of the bikes I have owned are comfortable on rides over an hour haha so I can totally relate to this video. Planning on getting a new S1K next season.

[@yodomcat]

They are comfy, also check the zxr-10 they were nice also 👍🏻

[@MrPninja]

After a massive crash on my zx10r ( thanks to a wombat) in full leathers and back protector, I broke my back in 3 places and snapped my tail bone doing 80kms an hour, anyway I bought a zx10r 2016, so new at the time, and got 1 season out of it as my neck and weight gain I couldn’t ride more than 5 mins, because my neck hurt so much I couldn’t see the road, even after 5 years of Physio didn’t help, now when I bought my BMW m package, it literally saved my riding life as the reach to the bars wasn’t as bad, and I had cruise control if I had to sit up, lowered the rear height as well, now I tired a upright bike but the bumps just jarred my back to much

[@yodomcat]

Wow well done for keep pushing and finding a bike that works!

[@donovan6717]

I have a 22 ninja 100sx a good upright riding position. But I miss a fast sport bike. My son loves riding the ninja and I ordered a 23 s100rr. It addictive

[@hjmoto]

You know what, fellas? I'm 54 and I'am trying to figure out would I like this bike or go with a standard hyper naked. I have a motocross background and used to have a 20' Yamaha MT-10 that built as a touring machine. I sold it and got a 22' Honda CRF450R Works Edition dirt bike. But now I miss my street bike! It's been killing me trying to find out what bike to get as one bike to ride. I'm looking at a Husqvarna 701 Supermoto because it's fun and comfortable. Or do I want to go back to an MT-10 SP? The only thing I didn't like about the MT-10 was the weight and the heat that it gave off. I live in Arizona and that heat off that bike kept me off it. I test rode a 22' BMW GS Adventure and found it boring. It was comfortable but boring because the acceleration didn't excite me! We will see soon. This S1000 RR seems interesting but that riding stance with those low bars has me hesitant.

[@yodomcat]

I went from this to the single R and I love it! That said, the power from the RR engine was the only thing I missed… this leaves two options get a M-1000 (video review on my channel) or decat the S-1000 and tune it. I’m going with the latter 👍🏻

I am currently deciding between the RR or R versions of the bike after not riding for 100 or so years. Your series is the best rundown of these bikes on youtoob - by a long way. I am 20 years older than you and have spent a lifetime on Ducatis - but I am over the super high rear set positions on the Ducatis and the burnt bum and legs that go with it all...I'd prefer an RR but I think I will end up with an R because of this - and no interest in the fugly XR or the twin pots that BMW make. Love your channel mate - happy new year from down under.

[@yodomcat]

Thanks so much for the kind comment 🙏🏻 Don’t rule out the XR, friends that have it love it! (And out ride me). But riding the RR vs a V4S, so much drama from the Duc while the RR is so comfy hearing your hands going by on cruise control 😂 With the nakeds, the Streetfighter is a better bike, but not a £10k better bike.

I am having some issues with stalling on pulling away but I think its a weird BMW thing that I'll get used to. Bit worried about changing whole exhaust system given the way emissions and rules going at moment. The cat under the bike is hideous and is the only thing I don't like about the bike.

1 question though please. I'm concerned with maneuverability in town/traffic. Has it got a much larger turning circle than the naked? I get you have to lean more but is more dangerous on wet/gravel roads. Which is better navigating through traffic or when everything is at a standstill on the M25? Cheers in advance!

[@yodomcat]

@@DarrenStarr Yes to all that compared to a naked. But you get use to it and the pros outweigh the cons if you want a damn sexy looking missile. In my old age I prefer the ease of the R due to being naked for all weather riding and easier to move around car parks, etc.

[@sweet-triple-UK]

Nice video mate, I tried one of these at the dealership the other day and my god it's a great bike! As you said, it does lead you into a false sense of security with all the trick electronics. The dealer almost convinced me to go for a similar deal to yours, as it was super reasonable monthly payments. I'm going to have to stick to the 675 for now though as I've just bought a new car....

I’m fairly young and still have a year or 2 before I can consider getting a bike like this and currently ride a ninja 400.

I’m just a little curious on other peoples opinions I’m by no means an aggressive rider and was under the impression going to a later bike was going to not only be too much for road use but for personal skill I have now been riding for 3-4 years commuting to work school and University just about every day have done roughly 100,000kms between 2 bikes. Just as a little background info. I’m really interested in getting an s1000 I just am up in the air and don’t want to just go talk to the dealer about it.

[@yodomcat]

You can without a shadow of a doubt be able to ride this and ride it well with time. However what is you and what is the electronics? I think if you can get a r6 for a year then this you will be a better rider. If you’re of the view electronics are here to stay and all your future bikes will have them then you could take a short cut. But be warned that top end speed is easy and addictive; it can cost you your license or worse; only you can judge how sensible you’ll be.

Could it be that you are not supporting your body with your core muscles, and are putting unnecessary weight onto your wrists?

If you haven't read "The Upper Half of the Motorcycle" by Bernt Spiegel, please check it out: a brilliant book, sadly, it's expensive.

There is an element of this for sure 👍🏻 but my lower back is weak, slight wrong deadlift and it’s tweaked for a whole week.

Good one I am guessing that you will be keeping the bike and giving them the £9,000 or do you just give it back .How does this work ,I am going to check out your nervous rider vlog for sure . Good view cheers Dom : )

[@yodomcat]

Cheers Malcolm 👍🏻 At the end of the three years you give them the £9k and you own the bike. That 9k you might be able to refinance again on a PCP but at that level a straight forward loan is best. If you don’t do the whole 3 years you can still get out with a settlement figure. Works exactly like it does with cars.

You gave me anxiety just hearing you talk about you’re an anxious rider lol

Took out an M sport last weekend and I don’t really know what to think of it. How much fun do you have on yours? I found it crazy fast but worried I’ll end up dead if I buy one. On the other hand it is more practical than the super nakeds for me as I’m a tall lad and feel like a giant sail on those…

[@yodomcat]

It’s soooo much fun! But not in a crap your pants bonkers way. You’re always the fastest bike in the pack; you can over take anything. And because of all that you may wind up with no license.

[@Throttle.Monkey]

@@yodomcat will that feeling wear off though, I mean do you think you will keep yours for the foreseeable future or move on?

[@yodomcat]

@@Throttle.Monkey id keep mine forever if my back could cope! Winter is also sucky on a sports bike.

What reg is this bike bro?

That was a 2020

[@jeffprince6861]

Sorry a lot of your observations are way too negative like”another problem is the quickshift/blipper “makes” you lazy,this bike makes you want to go faster etc. The bike doesn’t “make”you do anything.It just provides exceptional equipment and tech for you to explore and have an exhilarating ride.Apart from that I enjoyed your vid.

[@yodomcat]

Sorry you found it negative that is not my intention it is a fantastic machine. Superb.

Why are all these people driving on the wrong side of the road ?

[@2amProFilms]

Why do you buy a 200hp motorcycle to put around town in?

[@yodomcat]

I mainly ride country roads where I live.

[@ryanmalone2681]

I’m the complete opposite. I love a bike that feels like it’s going to kill me.

[@yodomcat]

Haha, like that meme, I don’t want peace! I only want problems! Aprilia man right there! 😂😂

how do you like handroid gloves?

[@yodomcat]

Love them. I have the pod and the gauntlets. Also the OR3 for summer. Two friends that have crashed in them. The most recent he dragged his hand on the ground; the pods are still usable and no damage to his hands. 👊🏻

I’m not an old person like most people here. I daily ride my BMW S1000R M package and absolutely love it

Age will catch up to you eventually 😉😂

@@yodomcat No that wont happen. I workout hard, have tons of energy and have fought in OEF which ensures I will never become an boring old person inside. Peace pops
