2015 BMW S1000RR - Chat Review

A nice hot cuppa after a freezing, yet invigorating day on the bikes. Read the full article here:
44teeth.com/201...
Also, apologies for the 'wobble cam' - I was testing out a fish-eye lens and the auto stabilisation gives it a funny edge thing... Must try harder ;)

[@Swaytan]

I just picked up a 2015 S1000RR yesterday, what an incredible machine.

[@timm2069]

"aaaand straight into a range rover!" oh I love the Baron!

[@CajunGreenMan]

"I'm six feet wide, not six feet tall." ROFL! I LOVE these conversational discussions/reviews of bikes. Please keep them up.

[@richard1717]

Great insight But scrap the lens

[@BaronVonGrumble]

agreed - its looked great before in bright, close up pans of bikes - but this was an error. It was a small space so thought it would work :(

[@samuelalexanderharve]

Be good for you to do reviews on everyday commuter bikes that alot riders use everyday like the yamaha xj600 suzuki sv650 Honda cbf kawasaki versys 650 etc and compare them to each other nice to see that see what is fun for commuting on. Thanks Sam

[@peterjackson998]

Been watching 44teeth content for years and they are part of the reason I got back into biking, great stuff. Just adding this so there is a round 180 comments.

[@v4forlife]

Cheers Ali and Baron, inadvertently answered my RC8 vs '15 S1K comfort question. nice vid, people that love bikes chatting properly about bikes.

[@lambysaki_zx10r]

Baron n Alastair darling perfect combo. Keep the vid coming gents. You should dual vlog your way around on the latest two wheeled beast. Both chatting about how you feel about double bloody decker. You should maybe to chocolate top trumps. Keep it up guys I think this new channel of yours could be you tube gold☺

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Now, Chocolate Top Trumps sounds like the best. game. ever.

[@TheStriker0525]

Can you do a video telling us more about how 44 teeth and the gay partnership with Alastair came together?

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Yeah, sure - there is also a bit of blurb on the site for now which may fill in your information desires in the short term: 44teeth.com/us/

[@BNHC0]

44Teeth burn

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@FortyFourTeeth I doubt you'll see this, but the page needs updating, and a little error checking 😎

[@scottfrancis8502]

My Favourite channel....period.. (jizzy) What a job, ride bikes, chat bikes...

[@spacep0d]

'There are zero benefits to not having it' HAHA. Love that line. ;) That dry English humor slays me. I'll take a coffee too, thanks. Double Espresso. ;) The stock exhaust is quite brill. I had a quick test of the 2015 BMW S1000RR but I'm doing an extended test this weekend. Can't wait. I plan to put the shift-assist through its paces too. It's hard to believe that downshifter will actually work but well, apparently it does work quite well. The ZX-10R is amazing too. Only a nose behind the 2015 S1000RR in my book but I'll know more this weekend. Love this format. Subbed!

[@92RB20Monster]

I own a 2018 zx10r and can attest to that completely,the BMW is just slightly more tactile if I'm making any sense.The zx10r "the 5th gen" is absolutely amazing,it is so stable,it feels extremely light,kinda heavy for me at walking pace speeds but then again I'm a extremely lightweight person.That zx10r just is so stable and cuts through the air like butter,I know bikes are aerodynamic duh,but I cant explain in words how planted and good a zx10r feels,I'm getting a brand new 2018 bmw s1000rr the second I have all the money saved up.

[@Jooeey23]

Loving this new channel! Think you should make the chat review a weekly thing. Good work guys!

[@jackjones429]

Brilliant video guys, look forward to the next one

[@mspencer9]

I bought the 2015 s1000rr!!!

[@flwforce1]

that cruise control section at low speed reminds me of the bikes at the IOM TT on pit lane and that exhaust its MEGA apart from the Y shape bottom xD

[@FortyFourTeeth]

That was actually the Pit Lane limiter :)

[@flwforce1]

thank you keep it up Big Baron :)

[@mattpierceplayz]

Good real world talk about the bike!!

[@rureadyboots]

I used to terrorise the poor residents in early morning raids of the A272 between Langrish and the Meon Valley Hut. A 90 mph knee down corner there is the best corner in Hampshire.

[@MattJones675GR9]

Awesome review Al and BVG

[@RegularJon]

Al sipping his tea at 3:30 sounded like a laser!! hahah!

[@ewanhamilton4244]

Dream bike. Hopefully in the future in will be affordable second hand

[@alexhus44]

Red one look awesome

[@TheVilouboy]

44 Teeth, have you done a back to back comparison (2015/HP4)?! I know Baron just got his HP4, but would it be possible to get a video?! Vilou, from Japan

[@JosipMesic]

Proper F'in Hero! Ivan Mesic are you a Hero?

[@jakjkc007]

The old shape looks much better!

[@ar1368]

I am totally going to wait for my local dealer to get the 2015 S 1000 rr in. They have a 2014, but why take the old version.

[@Eddycarm]

i wonder how this bmw is going to stack up to the new r1

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Soon as we get the R1 - you will know! :)

[@crossplanem110]

looking forward to this..should be interesting

[@mikef1411]

I didn't like the looks (headlights) of the R1 at first (like most) but it's definitely grown on me and looks alright. It's kinda like when the s1krr first came out. folks didn't like the headlights but who cares, you aren't looking at them while riding and it's all about performance. but ya, can't wait for more vids :D

[@fotoflorian]

44Teeth hurry up and get it already!!

[@bobbybrown9570]

Had the R1 2016 spent a fortune on it but straight out the box the 2018 S1000RR does everything so much better...

[@JordanReedYT]

Hey that's *****. AWESOME !

[@junarchua0402]

Which is better ducati 1299, new s1000rr or new yzf r1m

[@matt160177]

I love the rev set option.

[@Rwecosher]

All this electronics business... Shouldn't bikes be update-able? I'd like cruise control on my bike. The newer model has it so why can't it be retro fitted to older models? It's all computer stuff so it's not really much different from updating your iPhones OS.

[@neilrr1000]

Great vid guys cant wait for more! How would you compare the electronics, suspension and throttle response to the S1000R is the S1000RR mush better or would you say its much for mush (In terms of the electronics etc)

[@GentlemanBikerVlog]

Wow that is awesome, I'd be using the pit limiter all the time :D

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Its brilliant fun - much louder at higher revs so 60/70mph sounds intense.

[@GentlemanBikerVlog]

I don't suppose you've got this bike to do with as you please? Is it just a press bike? I think we'd all love to hear that limiter with a nice shiny new exhaust ;D

[@MindBlowerWTF]

The Gentleman Biker The bike is now gone if nothing has changed. Hope We will get more videos in incoming weeks.

[@GentlemanBikerVlog]

MindBlowerWTF Thanks, that's a shame though.

[@Blahde]

Me too...

[@mattie_world]

Hey baron turn off image stabilisation on your camera, it will make your lens still and won't make the outer edges shakey :-)

[@therealbajan522]

heard the R1 is like riding a very fast plank, this is comfortable? liking it

[@meansheep1413]

I'm training to be a journalist and you guys are a great inspiration to me so I'd love to work for you one day :)

[@yeoldchief7711]

If you want a limited run, why not go the MV Augusts route?

[@alderinerush]

But you can get aftermarket autoblipper on old s1000rr also

[@OfficialSmo]

Great vid fellas - did you get a chance to take her into town at all?

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Thank you Sir :) Baron took the bike into London so is working on a 'Baron' video, in London, on the bike.

[@gullyrounere]

Will you guys be testing the s1000xr when it comes out..im really excited for that bike. Although it may not be fast enough for most 160bhp is zippy enough for me!

[@SixmiffedyUkvlog]

Nice video, can you elaborate on the answer to the Navy techs question about ZX10r, S1000RR and the 899, What type of person would you say rides each one?

[@mikef1411]

I rode the 2014 s1krr and fell in love. I'm seriously thinking about biting the bullet to grab this bike. I just need to sell the blade and talk to the missus. 44Teeth do the bars still vibrate like the previous models? thanks.

[@brianpreval5602]

how does the new bmw compare to the gxr1000r which you said was better than the old bmw?

[@JackSwatman]

Something similar to this on the 1299 since I guess came weren't aloud on track?

[@ivanandhismightysteed]

the list of bikes I want just keeps getting bigger - I need a lotto win!!

[@andy44646]

The real question is.....what's it like to ride to the local garage or shop to buy a double bloody decker 😁👍🏁

[@pistolpete5805]

Without riding it, what u guys think the capability of the new HP4 RACE will be like?

[@someenglishguy..]

Lads, are you going to try to get a hold of the new H2 Ninja? (The road legal one obviously) Also, could you try and piss about on some 600 classes? Daytona, GSXR, R6, Etc? So far, everything's been 1 litre sport stuff. Don't get me wrong, The new 1299- splooge. But some variety would be cool.

[@kevinoh8132]

hi guys, informative video thanks. Do you think the suspension on the will allow to push HARD on roads that aren't particularly smooth ?

[@svistal]

hi i found your channel on yt with s1000rr review. I have a question about valve knock in the range of 2500 - 4000 rpm, is this normal for this model? and another question about slipper clutch. When you suddenly press the clutch and take off the gas, you hear a strange thump? Thank you for your answer

[@bikeriderscotland328]

Decisions decisions eh ? Having looked closely at both bikes, my considered opinion would be to consider them again later, and in the meantime opt for the lady in the grey top !!

[@petermoygannon698]

my 2018 I just brought with 12000km at 40kph is gerkey not smooth with clutch out. and BMW bike shop said it was ok ..are they all a little bit gerkey just past idle at 2500 rpm.. i put it in neutral and hold it on 3 thousand and needle will hop up and down a few mm either side of 3 thousand rpm.. so that's what I'm feeling when going slow. is that normal.

[@jaydmhearne]

You're filming through a pint glass aren't you?

[@iwsurfman]

How many of those trick bits that improve it over the previous bike are optional extras?

[@owenwales4328]

I couldn't be seen riding with a dyson hoover sticking out the back of the damn thing

[@MrEminemrules92]

If you're on about the exhaust? Then its very simple change it for something smaller and louder :D

[@owenwales4328]

Ethan Senior yes haha, that would happen immediately

[@Turborider]

BMW S1000RR

[@MrGaz555]

with the launch control. do you just dump the clutch or gradually let it out. i can never get it right

[@Warner1981]

Hi Guys it's going well so far. I know this bike is designed for the race track, but would it be good for someone who just used it for the occasional track day but mostly road riding and the odd overseas tour? Or is it too much bike for that? X

[@BaronVonGrumble]

its PERFECT for that. I think you hit the 'user' nail on the head.

[@RandomGRK]

***** isn't it a little heavy on the wrists for touring? I know you've done loads of tours on supersports but the average person cramps up after about 2 or 3 hrs. God knows my left knee could never handle it.

[@Thatpartydude]

Would there be a way of fixing the throttle lag at the top on an older year s1000rr

[@leom6537]

Why do the bikes have diferent headlights?

[@mr09R1]

How does the s1000rr compare to the new R1??

[@gbracingengineprotection]

That bird who entered le toilette, definitely had a poo!!!

[@incognito8219]

I like the lens vonzer

[@3doorpete]

Nice review - can you independently configure/turn off the anti-wheelie regardless of TC level, like the RSV4?

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Yes...

[@kevinoh8132]

44Teeth by turning off stability control ?

[@ebutuoy8272]

Is your camera wearing beer goggles?

[@christopherwheatley7845]

Hp4 all the way!

[@LueXiong10]

The picture on the site looks like Baron's about to pick his nose.... "Did I get it?"

[@AzTechGFX]

I'd fucking hate to be riding in the UK winter weather, even in thailands winter it gets to like 15c Im freezing my ass off in the morning haha

[@FortyFourTeeth]

We met some guys in a cafe that day - 5 came out for a ride, only 2 made it home! Ice was a big issue but they are ok - just scratched up bikes.

[@mikef1411]

come to Canada. lol. -30ish today.

[@robjones284]

Is that Loomies?

[@Dracati]

Nice Content Share & WeeemRCB gets a tweet in !!! ;) Sweet Bike

[@Weeem]

I had to do despicable things to get that ..... despicable things.... *gets back to the shower for another scrubbing* ;) :)

[@spacep0d]

+WeeemRCB All in the interest of motorcycles, good sir. *Pats Weeem on the back*. Oof. Still sore are we?

[@orangespeed]

it can not sound better than the 1290R?!?!?!

[@steinmar2]

What happens at 8:30 with the bike ?

[@Trotters222]

Aren't a fan of it to be honest. Rather have a zx10 + a couple of grand in my sky rocket

[@texasfran]

Watching this at half speed is so funny. Its like ye are drunk.

[@Blahde]

So wanted to chat...I did...Seriously, I SO wanted to chat but you guys are so Superior that..I didn't..REALLY ;-) Stay Faithful!! 

[@MrPninja]

Ahh nice to dream but it's to expensive for most people I know including myself, which I know why

[@Benjay1975]

great video!

[@maxflight777]

Brilliant !

[@grachoderunwiderstehlichen]

...the coffee-milk was half-empty !

[@kboost960]

2:09 both bikes have different headlights

[@BlueRage]

Different years.

[@markmywords312]

Only 35000 subscribers? If you can get over the Baron von grumble bollox this channel deserves more respect than 35k subscribers! It's filmed and edited well. Maybe it's too real world for some people, maybe viewers like gloss. Really good comprehensive reviews, although I quite like the way the Visordown guy does the uber comprehensive one man summaries too - it's pithy, not pants. Not pithy pants.

[@NOORYOUNIS]

Sounds alot like Baron von grumble's voice

[@minazmorgul]

One silly question please. If it's that easy to ride, would a beginner be able to learn on it if he has it for a first bike??? :D

[@alphabeta3593]

Its all about character... if you're responsible and dont abuse 'the power'. Sure you can. But its recommended for MOST people to NOT start with a liter bike. You might be an exception we never know.

[@minazmorgul]

Thanks for replying :) Could you tell me a little bit about the difference between this bike and the ZX-10R that he talked about? To me they're both comfortable and fast superbikes, aren't they??? :)

[@alphabeta3593]

sure both are super fast bike... But BMW is KING right now. That quick shifter is a big PLUS compared to kawi. well I've never owned one of the kawasaki., but according to what i've heard the Japanese bikes handles better in maintenance than the Germans.

[@minazmorgul]

alpha beta Thanks :) So as much as you've read or heard, which one is more comfortable, more suitable to the daily commute? Please :)

[@alphabeta3593]

If you're in for commuting, go for STANDARD bikes because on sport bikes for ME i personally find that i have to go Fast else its not 'comfortable'. but anyway, If i were given the possibility to choose between the kawi and the beemer. Surely i have no doubt it will be the bmw. There is only one bike that can/might beat the beamer in terms of thrill and its the Kawasaki H2. but its sold out for this year. (limited edition) But i got to warn you, if you are a learner i would advise to you go for honda cbr 1000 rr. (ONLY if you want a liter bike BADLY.) I would also advise you to go for the Honda CBR 600 rr FIRST. its a cool bike, they sound good and thrills good. Quite good for daily rides. You got to learn to handle the power first. whatever the machine you get,Just take it AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE obey the laws and don't listen too much to people. Be responsible and with time you will be able to hit the 240+ km/h on them easily. Watch the 'Ghost rider uppsalla run' it will be very usefull for you later on. You NEED to watch those kinds videos so that you can avoid making any bad mistakes. Good luck man.

[@TheMamto1]

Do one about beast bikes ones that would kill new riders

[@JackSwatman]

What shop was this at?

[@FortyFourTeeth]

Bahnstormer in Alton

[@alexnoway788]

So wanted to chat...I did...Seriously, I SO wanted to chat but you guys are so Superior that..I didn't..*REALLY* ;-) Stay Faithful!!

[@fluffymellons]

Nothing like pulling a wheelie on a giant plastic pendulum drinking bird. Hideous looking thing.

[@BikesDrones]

You sound more and more like Steve Coogan everyday.

[@BaronVonGrumble]

What do you think of the pedestrianisation of Norwich City Centre...?

[@BikesDrones]

***** I'll be honest, I'm dead against it. I mean, people forget that traders need access to *DIXONS*! They do say it'll help people in wheeeelchairs!

[@magicalcernat7633]

Here on video ,that red looks awfull.Gr8 bike tough

[@jbdoggy]

The other guy talking really sounds like baronvongrumble.

[@Crespusk8]

Is the same guy

[@danieljoseph701]

250 & 300 bhp versions..... kwack H2R

[@rmonified]

7:34 FALSE!!!!!!! YOU CAN HAVE THROTTLE AND AUTOBLIP DOWN!

[@LambChopRides]

Great review, more from fagan here riding my bike :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2rFiqKYapeXgqM

[@maxthomson2948]

It's such an ugly bike though, just give her symmetrical front fairing and she would be the best bike on the planet but as it stands she's beaten by bike like the beautiful Aprilia RSV4 or the Honda CBR1000R.

[@RackTheMilesWelding]

Many people have been skilled enough to actually install, on the old one, an opposite left headlight to the right side.

[@scottthomson700]

How can bmw get so much right with this bike but still F*ck it up?? just ugly! and the finishing feels/looks cheap that upward scoop makes it even worse.This red and white stasky and hutch theme looks sh*te the RR on the tank looks like an after thought. I also think this bike cancels out the HP4 in my opinion. I did consider an HP4 before i heard the specs of this bike. Instead i have took the big discount on a new 14 plate RSV4 factory the best looking yet in my opinion.And although i might have some head aches with it that i might not have the BMW i dont care! I like being on my mates HP4 but i hate looking at it,and i like looking at this even less. Just my opinion diffrent strokes for diffrent folks and all that.

[@MrWeasel1984]

The baron videos are much better

[@Vedant-km2cg]

Double bloody decker.
