2010 BMW S1000RR Bike Swap | Gorgeous Akrapovic Soundtrack!

[@P6_7R_Nick]

Mate, just sold my Gen 2 SDR after 12 months of ownership (funny that eh) and bought a 1290 Super Adventure S and I'm loving it. I reckon for the roads I ride, I'm faster, safer and definitely having a whole lot more fun. Done more miles in 2 weeks than I'd done in 6 months on the Super Duke. Horses for courses 😉 You'll never find the perfect bike, but the one that makes you smile the most is the one you should keep. Then buy another for comfort, another for the scare factor, another for short blasts, another for sunny days, another for commuting, another for... 😂

[@LambChopRides]

very true Nick, I do the love the SDR but just a few niggles which annoy me. But I think its like any bike, none of them are perfect. Im really enjoying the GSXR which has shocked me as thought I was done with sportsbikes, so much so Im considering buying the longtermer I have.. But thats another story / vlog haha

[@P6_7R_Nick]

@@LambChopRides haha, never say never. Given the time (and the money (and space)) I'd like to see a 790 Duke next to my 1290 SAS. It'll do what I need it too on the naked front. I guess it's about priority. Knowing what I know now, I should have kept my 1190 Adventure I had and bought a good used gen 1 1290 SDR. I'd have been better off, but hey-ho...

[@raivons]

very good microphone u have,sounds almost like in real life

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Thanks for helping me go naked mate! ☺️ I had a great time on the Super Duke & looking forward to sharing my version of events 😁 thanks for the shoutout too, really appreciate it 😎👍

[@LambChopRides]

No worry matey thanks for letting me try your beast, my doesnt it sound amazing!! Really looking forward to seeing your version, hope the lost audio is too bad

[@SixthGearMotorcycles]

Lamb Chop Rides Your welcome mate, it’s great to see and hear the bmw in your hands! The video itself is great, the lost audio is awful, hopefully it’ll still be fun to watch 🤞☺️

[@-DC-]

Bought a 954rr on all the hype on em sold it after 4 months really couldn't see why they so highly rated, naked everytime now !

[@PsychoPaul13]

Stop mucking about and go and get the Tuono. 😎

[@FingersRides]

Psycho Paul agreed

[@RMK67]

Jeez mate you really did get the sound of Grizz’s 1000RR and the performance of an incredible machine - now all we have to do it get the same recording equipment for SGM, done bloody well...

[@matchbeatmusic2684]

Still love the GSXR. I’ve ridden a couple of the new litre bikes and its definitely got the edge.. The sound of that Beemer is very sweet when you get in the power Band..

Don,t seperate yourself from the Duke,,,,,,ist the coolest bike on youtube:-))))!! Greetz Bas.

[@garrydyke5350]

Hi Lamb Chop, I have the KTM 1290 SD Gen 2 and have invested in Andreani fork cartridge kit plus fork springs suited to my weight. I wasn't quite convinced by the Ktech fork service option so invested a bit more in a cartridge kit and it has transformed the ride quality and front end feel. I am now ordering a 180 x 185 rear spring to suit the front end work that I have had done. The Gen 2 isn't perfect (but is any bike) but it can be made a whole heap better. The Andreani kit fits your bike also, maybe try an upgrade first to get rid of the front end choppiness (pardon the pun) before blowing a bigger wad on a bike swap?.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes Ive looked at those, did you send me a message on Facebook about them? Sorry If I didnt reply, yes really considering those

[@garrydyke5350]

Yes I think I did. Even if I decide to sell it (perhaps for a Super Adventure R as per Nick Bennett) i thought it whoever buys it next would only need to buy springs to suit there own weight and style of riding at circa £85.00. So in theory this should increase resale value in my head??. I also recently purchased an BMW R1200GS 04 model with full Ohlins suspension and an Akrapovic can for bugger all money. I am genuinely amazed by how good a bike that is as a road bike. I have to say that adventure bikes are bloody good on the road. God I sound old.

[@rockyp3917]

Walter Chops 😂 Love it. This whole series of bike swaps is really good.

[@StreetRallyAsh]

I was up loomies the other day! Had a awesome ride from Brighton, have to meet up!

[@StreetRallyAsh]

That s1000rr engine is what I’ve got k5 1000

[@windyrun7979]

That s1000rr sounded very mean when pushed :). I also think maybe a tuono 1100 may be a good balance point for you. 1/2 way between sport bike and upright naked. That or an s1000r. I bought an '18 this spring and love it more and more every day. It definitely is a grower

[@FrankFurther]

Loved the knock off breaking bad intro 😂😂

[@Englishbikerdan]

Blinding video. That Beemer sounds incredible! Nice roads, where abouts where they?

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Dan, they are around Petworth / Midhurst on the A272

[@rockyp3917]

You scared the shit out of him by telling all the things that don't work 😂😂👍

[@HippoDrones]

Great vid once again Lamby, the BMW howls! :D

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks matey. It did sound amazing!

[@lyrasimo]

rain , in the UK....no kidding

[@Rust_valley_adventures]

Ask your mate if he wants to buy a full exhaust system ?? It a Austin racing inconel headers 90mm big bore titanium link pipe and gp1 end can in titanium and carbon fibre ,took it off my 2011 bmws1000rr it's amazing bit of kit and sounds stunning !! £1000 cost over £2300 a few years ago :) taa

[@vioivkovic3741]

in 2019 new tuono will come out chops. Nice intro aswell

[@LambChopRides]

Yes will be seeing what comes out 2019, see if anything temps me 😎

[@FingersRides]

vio ivkovic is there a new one due? I have an 18 and struggle to see how it can be bettered 😜👍🏻

[@tuyenhoang5546]

@@FingersRides probably LED headlights and a bit more HP but i don't see how they can top the current Tuono. It already has all the latest tech and is future proof for the next 5 years at least

[@christopherdevries1969]

Cool intro 👍. Not sure about the bmw, looks nice, sounds awesome but it's missing something. It seems to look like a gentleman's sportsbike 🤔. Good review 👍👍👍.

[@rockyp3917]

"Come on mate it's a push bike not a double decker bus". I died 😂

[@jamsxr]

Your mods on the 2.0 would be lovely. I’m getting a little bored after a year and 9k miles but I’ve covered more miles on the SDR than any of my previous 5 bikes..... I still think the Tuono is too temperamental - my 1100 V4 had its issues and checking the forum there are still plenty of unhappy customers. I think we will see a new SuperDuke, Tuono and S1000R within the next 12 months. I’m holding out for the updates before making my next move!

[@LambChopRides]

Agree with you Jim, I think its itchy feet syndrome more than anything else! I too am going to wait out for a newer model, perhaps a Ducati V4 naked could tempt me... :-)

[@adamstratford6740]

Whatup chop 👍🏻 a pal of mine just recently brought a 2012 BMW S1000RR and let me ride it. First impressions of it were blimey little quicker than I'm use to but as time went by other than the obvious power difference to my 2013 Daytona 675R I actually preferred my Daytona 675R it felt more nimble and would you believe it better put together!! I'm not biased at all towards my bike just with it being a super sports i just felt more involved with the ride throwing it through the gears and chucking the bike about. Ive recently being looking at a lot of litre bikes 2016 ZX10R GSXR 1000 the 2017 obviously 2015 R1 but tbh I don't know whether I actually want one now 🤔 have you ever rode a Triumph Daytona 675R? If so id love to hear your thoughts if not would you consider trying one out id so love to get your feedback on it 👍🏻

[@LambChopRides]

Nope never riden the 675 but would imagine it's fantastic! Will try and get on one let you know my thoughts. Lot to be said for middleweight bikes on the roads

[@adamstratford6740]

Lamb Chop Rides that would be fantastic mate like I said would love to hear your thoughts 💭 and I absolutely agree the super sports imo is great on the roads very useable and realistic power 👍🏻

[@randersson3672]

Lending out your bike seems to make you nervous...😁

[@pistolpete6321]

Great video!!!

[@dougie1325]

Awesome vid Chops, I would have been a lot more of a girls blouse in that wet weather.

[@LambChopRides]

I'm a lot quicker than I used to be in the wet. Wet track day helps 😂😂

[@colinbell6461]

Another new bike coming? My mrs calls its " new and shiny" when i start finding fault in my current bike and then trolling bike shops and youtube reviews

[@andrewpenson3638]

Try using DOT 4 in your clutch.

[@themightyvinnie9825]

Everyone's going naked!!! And why not. You will never go back!

nice audio quality :)

[@TheGray1967]

The Tuono is calling.... your just delaying the inevitable

[@topgun8683]

Why did you change your into, I liked the other one which is like a cartoon ! That BMW looked ok, but the blue windscreen was a bit gaudy and the exhaust was a little loud, but it looked like you were having fun until the rain started getting heavy and then you went for a cold one, all is not lost !

[@LambChopRides]

The Marvel one is for the garage vids, dont worry Ive got a selection :-)

[@OHMMoto]

Chops you can’t compare a new GSXR to an 8 year old s1000! The gen 2 onwards are lore comparable. Even so good video.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes not ridden the 2018 so could only really compare to what I know. But the point being a 7k bike isn't really that far behind a brand new machine 👍

[@OHMMoto]

Lamb Chop Rides I have a 2011 so I was shouting at the screen lol! There’s not much down low on the gen 1 especially when you stick a full system on it. Still awesome bike even after 8 years. Best sports bike for sub 10k I think & ive had most.

[@jansezx12]

Nice vid mate. But gsxr 1000 got more revs on the top end. Not more power.

[@Oso-zp5yu]

Don't forget he comparing a bike from 2010 to the new gsxr.

[@ninjanelly3506]

That does sound lovely through the gears👍🏻👏 Listen to you sounding like a proper journalist Chops!!!! Well did you refrain?....or did you gorge yourself ya greedy bugger?🤔🤪👍🏻😎

[@LambChopRides]

Haha thanks matey. No unfortunately they didn't do one or it would have been ON! Eating competition haha

You should ride an Mt10sp keep offering you mine for a spin 😂

[@LambChopRides]

Yes I'm tempted, you local "ish" to Loomies per chance?

[@MOTOUK1]

Haha no I live in Lancashire but my cousin lives near loomies so I may be down in late September so will let you know when ok 👍

so it's got an dongle mate. an illegal message comes up on the dash. forget that, they all do it. The back brake aint got ABS and the front brake aint all that. But try and pop some mingers. I'll leave all the electronics on. I mean off. Dunno! Ahhh, balls to it. Just go and have some fun!!!!!!

[@harrywarne8185]

Get a mt10sp!

[@terribleone1one1]

the powerparts triples have a steeper fork angle which gives you more responsive steering, maybe try going back to the stock ones? also, IRC makes a qs for the 1290 that has up/down with auto blip, dont upgrade, the gen 1s are so much better!

[@jamsxr]

David West gen 1’s are so much better, you joker 🤣 clearly the 2.0 is a better bike... Not that the 1.0 is a bad bike, just a little rough around the edges.

[@terribleone1one1]

@@jamsxr you dont have to pay extra just to do wheelies with the 1st gen, thats a default win. 😂🤣

[@jamsxr]

David West yeah, it just handles better, has better suspension, quick shifter, auto blipper, LED lights, LCD dash, better throttle control, improved electronics, more power..... clearly you have 2.0 envy, maybe you should upgrade to a 990 🤣
