2012 BMW S1000RR | First Ride

[@davidbresnahan5986]

I honestly like the design of this generation much more than the new one. This one kind of has a maddened and unhinged look on the with the headlights that I love.

If you stick to the speed limits on the roads, you never have to leave first gear.

[@WickedMoto]

LOL! Exactly

[@mrcamelfrags]

but your gas mileage tho...

[@WickedMoto]

When you have an S1K i think gas mileage is the last thing on your mind lol

[@mrcamelfrags]

I dunno, they do get 35 mpg, sometimes ;)

[@Stryke607]

depends on the speed limit

[@PerHolger]

it has combined breaking, when you use the front brake, it uses the rear brake aswell. So you don't ever use the rear brake unless you're like in a hill or something.

[@marshallma7575]

Oh really? Does a 2010 model has this as well?

[@collins38mx30]

Marshall Ma Yes

[@COOLS32401]

Nice info thx

[@robbylebotha]

This is true. But I've always felt people who say don't use the rear brake are giving terrible advice. I alternate brakes depending on situation and something both at the same time even in my s1krr.

[@WickedMoto]

Amazing edit man. Loved the video as always. Thanks again for doing this

[@WickedMoto]

Oh yea ps the Ecu has been flashed so the throttle is instant now

[@TheGh02t]

Beautiful bike man. And thanks for letting Chase have a go at your baby.

[@WickedMoto]

TheGh02t CHEAH!!!

[@dustycanbecrazy]

I just bought an S1000RR last week. I went from a GSX-R 600 to this bike. There are no regrets here. in the beginning when you seen the lights flashing that means the traction control and the ABS are on. if you push and hold the button until the stay lit up they turn off and then that lagging feel in throttle goes away and you think to yourself that the traction control needs to stay on. Great 1st ride video man. Peace.

[@jkl1129]

literally the prettiest bike ever

[@WickedMoto]

Agreed

[@bergoen]

Don't forget about the Panigale.. but other than that you're right ;)

hey Chase, just want to let you know that you were one of the youtubers that I watched regularly, and inspired me to start riding. I've been dreaming about riding for the longest time now and on this very date I am a proud owner of a 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300 with a SEXY Two Brother's Slip on. Thank you so much for the videos and inspiration and continue to ride safe.

[@TheGh02t]

Couldn't agree more, this bike is nothing less than a monster that's disguised as a masterpiece. If I'm not mistaken i think they updated the bike a little in 2013 before the major update in 2015. Whats interesting for this bike being so well received by the public and being fast on track, Honda is actually giving BMW a run for their money in WSBK (leading BMW by 61 points)....The more you know

[@dgweez]

Nice work, C2W. I'm not typically a sport bike kinda guy, but I got to ride one of the 2016's at California Superbike School and I was blown away. The first 3 track sessions I did were in Rain Mode and I would never have known it by how much power the bike had.

[@markettradinggenius]

This was 7 years ago and just imagine how close the new 2023 s1000RR could be a touring machine because the handlebars are now even closer to you than this bike that you are riding in this video !! I sat on the new 2023 s1000RR and with the kickstand down I simply pushed my big body frame forward and could totally see how this new 2023 s1000rr could literally allow a person to be "upright" on long distances...

[@jerombolo2688]

BMW should make a 600ccm supersports

[@TheVilouboy]

Uh...no.

[@ridingwithsam]

The 600 market is dying out

[@thereal_FASTA]

They thought about it in 08 but backed out because someone had the name (s600rr). Then they but their money's together and found out it would hurt the company if the went in production. Already having a successful super bike in a 1000cc class would be back stepping so to speak.#bmwmeanbusiness#germanpowered

[@mroaktree1162]

I agree with Rahul. The cinematography of your intros (panning around the bike, detail shots, etc) is fantastic.

[@CubanRider]

Yes, those Dunlop Sportmax Q3 make the bike want to lean over big time, love that tire. I've been playing with the idea of trading the XR for the RR, so a supersport may be in my future.

what did they change on the 20q5 other than the shape of the long headlight?

[@satriosukarnoatmosudirjo9722]

+James Lampe they switch the long headlight to the left and the round to the right and the nose is a bit sharper

[@TheSoulMan11]

+James Lampe 15 now has cruise control, dynamic suspension control, added Horsepower and I think a few more customization modes. They added some of the HP4 stuff into the regular model which did drive up the msrp to about 18k from 16k

[@binksters_dad]

+James Lampe I think it was lighter, new front end, and more power.

[@cinnibeard4448]

Both of those issues on the throttle being soft and sluggish and the shifting being hard has been fixed in the 2015 s1000rr, that bike is truly a piece of art but for some reason I still want the 2012 s1000rr just because of the fact that I like there being some flaws in my bike so I have others like my 2013 zx6r and my 2011 r6

[@SammyAndTina]

He needs to check the tire pressure at the beginning of each ride and set them to the desired pressure each time. Each ride I keep hearing him talk about how much the bike leans over, etc, but he doesn't realize that it's due to the tire profile and pressure. He should eliminate the variability by keeping tire pressure constant. Upvote this so he sees it, it's very important.

[@Xs395]

Rear brake feels off because it is electronically linked to the front brake. If you apply both manually, you are interfering with the electronic distribution. Rear brake alone for slow speed control, front brake for stopping power. Splits the braking so that you don't stoppie or lock.

[@Jindujun]

That bike is just inhuman. Put some wings on it and you're ready for take-off lmao

[@cxwrld]

[@LifeOnTwoWheels]

[@iRyan876]

Lol, while that is true, I feel that is a more fitting statement for the Panigale! That thing is nuts!

[@SquidRider]

This is the video that turned me on to BMW S1000RR's T.T the memories!

[@BuFFMotO]

The beginning of the video made my pants tight. Is that normal?

[@toysareforboys1]

You can adjust the rear brake peddle height if you like to use the rear. I usually have mine disconnected so the rear brake doesn't work at all. There's probably too much free play in the throttle cable too, that's why you have to twist it a bit before it responds.

[@Z3US6]

this is the bike from mission impossible rogue nation lol

[@MonoMoto]

Chase some technical feedback from a 2013 and 2015 S1000RR owner: The throttle issue you described : the older RRs had some issues with a lot of play in the throttle. That can be fixed with a screw driver. Try it out when the bike is running and stationary. 2015 and beyond is full ride by wire and has that issue not anymore. You also don't need to use the rear brake ever unless you are on a hill stopped or on a race track, as the bike has an integrated brake which means it uses the rear automatically when you use the front lever. The flashing of abs and traction control at the start of the bike will only go away after you drive faster than 5 mph I think it is.

[@vasilisgreen]

What do you mean "full ride by wire"? I mean, I really despise ride by wire and I've dismissed this bike from my wish list because of it. I mean, everywhere I look I find that this bike is a ride by wire bike, yet it has cables? How does it work?

[@ichsanedo4112]

pertamax !!

[@fatalfury5383]

Hey chase not sure if ur gonna read this but just for the "to low rear break" its actually wanted like that couse it has combined break so ull dont need to use the rear one :)

not his bikes bro he's being respectful

[@HeyAddieImTojo]

Danxthexman82 x yeah i agree. I mean, who wants to watch a 1000cc bike review and he barely shows of what it can do. I get dissapointed every time i watch one of his videos.

[@HeyAddieImTojo]

Nicolas Newmark riding a bike as it was built to do is disrespectful? It won't break just cuz he goes fast

[@mannyobeng103]

hey chase the reason for the back brake being so low is because BMW wants you to use it only when you really have to... The front brake lever is also combined with the back brakes . thats why it is so strong

[@natedawgp3690]

Anybody else notice there was a face on the gas cap

[@szcollazo]

Yo Chase, do the first ride for the 2016 BMW S1000RR I want to see all the features in action mainly the lights, both front and back. Thanks.

I'm gonna need you to do an updated 2022 bmw s1000rr first ride 🔥🔥🔥

[@ohhatu8081]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the front brake lever also applies rear breaks on the s1000rr. So the rear brake lever at the foot is really only a backup.

[@kuldeep7947]

Everytime i look at the front of the bike why do i feel like the rock is looking at me

[@D4RKBRU73]

What sucks for you is the electronic *ride by wire* system, and i guess you meant that the accelerator throttle has too much clearance at the beginning. I dont like ride by wire myself, unless its a really good one that reacts immediately

[@stvnflrs]

I test rode one as well and I totally agree about the throttle. that was my only complaint with this bike.

[@SeeMeRiding]

Chase you should test the 2015 or 2016 S1000RR. It's a very different experience mainly because of the semi active suspension. And in my eyes it looks better! You will really fall in love with it even more than this 2012!

[@hackcult3738]

"feels like I'm riding Superman". That was funnnyyy

[@luuk341]

You cant use the rear brake on its own. It has a compund brake system, if one uses the front brake it will also apply some rear brake

[@graphite2104]

For everyone that sees this video, the rear brake was intended not to be used unless ur on a hill thats why its still there. Bmw developed a new technology , its called combine brakeing. So basically when you press the front brake leaver you also activate the rear brake.
