U WANNA BE A FUCKING MOVIE STAR?????

[@Dezagon]

The launch control is more for your fastfood drive through type of scenario then drag racing

[@jacobpatrickyoung9287]

That was pretty funny 😂

[@issorj3487]

Yer that's y it's slower cuz then if it was faster u would either ram someone up the ass or be waiting for ur food

[@strangefacekid]

Dezagon I'm sure this Bike has sooooo much more potential. I've just REALLY gotta learn how to use the launch control. Indeed...

[@Jason-zc6uo]

Dezagon lmao

[@enjoi543]

Sad part is is that there’s a lot of squids that use it because it’s faster then then trying to ride it in slick mode

[@underdose93]

That launch control sounds absolutely insane!

[@Motofrogger]

I counted 2 - 1 to the ducati. "It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winnings winning!"

Moto Frogger RIP moto frogger

[@henrywoodcraft8724]

Rip motofrogger

[@garrymactavish2964]

Hey Tom!, I am a big fan of your videos for years. I have had my licence for just about 1 year and for my 49th birthday went to the drags at Perth Motor plex for my first time ever on my 2014 Zx14r . I had five runs on the night , first run was 10.29 secs my second run was my best of the night with 10.18 secs.

[@axelsantermans]

Iam a bmw fan but i didnt expect a s1000rr go THIS fast, holy moly! Nice video, wheelie and motorcycle dude! I liked this video.

[@TRX450RVlogger]

Holy Shit, That Cruiser was fucking booken.

[@RidingWithTom]

+TRX Vlogger yeah man, super charged v rod

[@husky701rider9]

TRX VLOGGER ya cruisers can make a lot of power but they don't have the handling to back it up. You'll drag peg quickly if you go to quick into a corner. I'd never build a cruiser with that much power I'd be worried I'd crash it on a twisty road.

[@TRX450RVlogger]

Ian Jacob Yeah true! lol

[@johnjacob688]

You would be surprised at how fast a cruiser can attack the twisties. The reason you don't see it much is because guys that typically ride cruisers aren't in it to put a knee down.

[@partyplace15]

TRX VLOGGER Vrods have about 130 ft lbs of torque right off an idle. Not to be fucked around with.

[@PistonSlap]

Awesome video...That Vrod was crazy fast out of the hole.

[@ConnorGrove1998]

Been waiting for a video like this again. Keep up the great vids

[@TheBeastlyIguana]

That v-rod was brutal off the line

[@21javante]

Tom.. Your start was SOO much quicker and looked smoother with no electronics! So dope

[@Slipprymongoose]

Just yesterday M13 was mentioning you and there you are at the drags being youtube famous. The more I sit on 2015 s1krr's the more I want one.

[@WarMachineMotovlogs]

Get one mate. You wont be disappointed

[@XCSEDAN]

***** well seeing as your up for a new bike? eh... eh...?

[@Theogmessy]

You should definitely test ride a s1000r.

[@Slipprymongoose]

Already have, video soon

[@HackyHD]

Dude, your wheelies!

[@HackyHD]

*****

[@ryanreid3523]

Great vid mate. S1000 RR is a beast love the way you can keep the throttle nailed while going up the gear. Good racing mate 👍

[@tommyshelby6247]

I've always been a big fan of motorcycles but watching your vlogs for the past 2 years has given me the push to go for my learners permit tomorrow! So excited! (Worst timing ever though in the middle of exams and have an exam the day after I'm yet to study for FML @ Monash uni).

[@tommyshelby6247]

Tommy Shelby I passed :D

[@christopheb1279]

Gj man

[@MrOutdoors007]

Don't start in the middle of the freaking track!!!! Move to the side!

[@MrOutdoors007]

Don't EVER ride in the center! Oil and everything else that comes out of a car goes there. If you pull that front brake to hard your going down in an instant.

[@Max-vq9xd]

He's a shitty rider anyway. He's just rich and can afford. Who the fuxk rides whilst constantly covering the front brake. It's dangerous and less control

[@TJBssc]

***** What does make you think that someone with a 15k dollar bike is rich? It's cheaper than a brand new Civic...

[@MrOutdoors007]

Hey keyboard warriors, stop fighting. I don't think anyone wants anything, especially a guy named Max. I wouldn't say he is RICH, but he definitely has money. When you buy a $10,000 bike, then an $18,000 bike, then your WR back, you have some money. Some poor guy cant just pull $30,000+ out of his ass. Now quit fighting, I don't think anyone wants to see it

[@JeffNoel]

MrOutdoors007 He might also be a guy with a lot of debts right now. Who says he bought the bike with cash money? Might be on financing for all we know.

[@philtaylor3098]

That was very enjoyable to watch. Well done dude.

[@1965randyorton]

was waiting for this!

[@bootsinthebreeze6001]

Great vid bruv...keep em coming..

[@WEONLYTAKEDUBS]

Best bike you ever had miss these vlogs

[@samsamaripa6840]

another great video tom thank;s again your the man.

[@jrTall26]

Nice runnin RidingWithTom

[@lucasfisher3202]

RidingWithTom loved it .s1000rr dream bike

[@Mcali1984]

Definitely subbed.. One of few people I enjoy on a bike.. Cheers..

[@motooutlaw8557]

Good stuff bruh lov this vid ! Keep em rollin !

[@tryxlr8m8]

Awesome video! Thanks Tom! I had a play with Launch control on the road! Funny as, all it did was psych out the other bikes, semi-stall but still blitz them in an odd way! Will take some getting used to! Fun video though m8! Enjoyed that! Thanks

[@NJtriple7]

That V-Rod is SAVAGE! I really want one in the future.

[@gargantus5]

Love some drag runs i know that had to sketch you out with that wheel lift on the 3rd run!

[@AXEKICK2YODOME]

These videos are awesome. It would be great if you went to the strip regularly as you did performance upgrades just to see the differences.

[@giveitarub7215]

2:37 Heey thats a better launch!... And there goes the cruiser lol

[@MUSCLEBIKER]

i watched whole video. it was very educational video. thanks mate.

[@dalecross19]

Fair play for doing it with no aids. I just had a day out doing this on Sunday, watched this video a few times beforehand. I just kept mine in Race all day so I could focus on the start, haven’t used Launch Control and didn’t want to do it for the first time not knowing what to expect in front of loads of people 😂 Came away with a 10.261 @ 144

[@kester135]

my launch control is the mk1 wrist and finger tips, and my quick shiftier is a late model central nervous system

[@staygold1017x]

Damn good runs bro! 👍🏼

[@mylesonthemove880]

great stuff bro love it

[@phranko7634]

R.I.P MotoFrogger...

[@wuxushalion]

Yea man as soon as I heard motofrogger im like fuckkkkkkkkk

[@nilstancabag695]

[@NubbyTV101]

This bike is a weapon. Top video.

[@movieclips1831]

My first love 😍 S1000RR 🔥

[@HEKTIC458]

Sick video!

[@RedLineRevsRLR]

That's cute my 125 does sub 8 second runs...

[@jaradkreidl6348]

That's quick! But remember his bike is stock, If he worked it it would be crazy!!

[@RedLineRevsRLR]

Jarad Kreidl Not sure if you actually believed me or not lol

[@jaradkreidl6348]

Ohhh... Imma leave now hahaha

[@RedLineRevsRLR]

Jarad Kreidl beastly 125 lol

[@jaradkreidl6348]

Hahaha! Built not bought 125

[@Fitfo281]

Sweet vid man

[@ReshardsAutomotiveWorkshop]

Great video. Thank you.

[@whyUshoudkill]

That was so cool, nice job!

[@JoeGo101]

10s thats not bad :D

[@FJ1903]

+JoeGo101 i love u m8

[@JoeGo101]

+FJ1903 :D

[@JackSwatman]

What was the time without electronics??

[@pmrjimsacramentoca503]

I have the same bike in black (3 weeks old, You should do a video on the 800 miles).You should do a video on your take ,and how to setup of the slick mode.....Great job.

[@EachHitPunk]

what a sweet view man....right on 👍

[@JoeJoeMoto]

SO MUCH FUN!!! I love drag racing, but haven't done any on a bike before, only in cars. What are the S1000RRs supposed to run stock on paper?

[@midibudu]

that rvf is one of my dreambikes

[@brandonstannard7644]

It is a beautiful bike 😍

[@garthdillon6819]

I wish had of known that you were at the heathcote drags I live right near there

[@JamesTheBiker]

Nice mate!

[@bjexter4627]

the battle of the century

Needs more grip! Traction control bogs it down because your tire isn't warm and grippy enough?

[@tomelliott2741]

Good racing

[@MyTruckstop]

What was your best 60 foot time. Good runs but the last run without aids kind of bogged down. So much power on the top end. Almost 30 years my stock FJ1200 did 11.15s, 60 foot time 1.60 9,000 rpm launch with a slipping clutch. A better and much lighter rider on his FJ1100 was at 11.50s although the top speeds where 30 mph slower than you are running. These new bikes have so much power to handle at launch. Nice video.

[@JoshHarrisPOV]

The looks those people were giving you at 11:50 xD

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

This BMW is amazing. I need one right awayb👍👌☺

[@jurzyjohner432]

Do you still have this bike and know the difference between this one and the 2018?

[@xAdamLeex]

That looks so much fun :) i hope i could ride a bmw bike someday .

[@sappobbg]

that S1000RR is a sic bike.... love the specs on this.

[@krayzieegg7294]

I got the 2018. do you just dump the clutch or do you still gradually release it? If so what is LC for if i can do it manually by gradually releasing the clutch. What else does it control apart from not exceeding 8k or so rev. I havent tried LC before so im kinda worried that i might wheelie and crash

[@gregedwardsMBA]

Nice to know what my S1000RR might do, and my V-Rod if/when I boost it. ..

[@stuarthunter115]

G day mate, My 2013 R1 runs 10 flat. and my zx14R runs mid 9's, i was very surprised to hear your results as i know many with your bike that can pull off much better time, maybe you need more practice.

[@RidingBadger]

So when are you gonna come to Canberra? ;)

[@tmaxxgod4]

Damm almost brotha. I love my red 2015 S1000RR :)

[@jimmywoods1906]

did you let the clutch out fast or slow

[@AznS0ulja]

whats the little blinking circle next to the tachy for?

[@stanstanxxx]

didnt you do 10.3 with good old 2008 cbr1000rr with no quick shifter and now launch control???

[@WarMachineMotovlogs]

Need to change that exhaust mate. Good video though.

[@polr1256]

Good vid! by the way if u keep practicing with the bmw s1000rr you can do it at 9,8!

[@CJ80ish]

Would it help to wind those gears all the way out? Quick bike none the less

[@tspellmon]

More videos like this please

[@biketimist6943]

Dem electronics is massive! But nothing beats a old fashion drag-start without any aid ;)

[@zxtenn]

Still impressive times for a dead stock bike-Are the BMW clutches able to handle drag strip runs?

[@_droid]

How are they staging you? It doesn't look like you're using the light sensors. Or maybe your are? That can make a huge difference in 60-foot times.

[@RidingJapan]

in all for turning off the electronics.I'm not against abs xD but all that other fancy stuff? was fun watching this.thanks for sharing

[@AUSSIEBUTTERSXD]

absolutely fucking insane .... I WANT A LITER BIKE FUCKKKKK

[@nazhif1]

Considering the 1199 doesn't have launch control & antiwheelie I'm quite impressed with it. BTW Tom can you bring back 60 fps?

[@bobjohnson2920]

I finally got the opportunity to run my 2016 RR. Made 3 passes. 11.09 11.300 and a 10.80. Full leathers, Helmet and boots 280lbs. 3/4 tank of fuel. I also forgot to pull the mirrors back, every little thing helps. This was my first time running the quarter on a motorcycle. Even with my fat ass on there I think it's possible to run 9's with some tweaking. I didn't even try slick mode. I pulled a raging wheelie my first run in race mode, the front end never touched the ground until after the 1/8 mile mark. It's never done that on the street in race mode.

[@vesania5319]

Which run shocked you more, 2014 or this one ?

[@yurigiulio]

nice video

[@farmadippy]

Dammit, I was going to bring my Hornet to Heathcote last Sunday but I slept in! My mate was there with their VH and ran a 9.9, doubt you noticed it though haha.

[@TheMsMartyboy]

You have to uploade more please!!!! :)

[@MOM-cd7xt]

is there any problem at all with the s1000rr since u bought it ??

[@Enduro_NY]

just letting u know Tom but u prob already know but M13 is in Australia so i think u should go visit him if u can that would be cool

[@rachidvanmeer7562]

Wich faster bmw s1000RR or a cbr1000RR???

[@robsoncruse9439]

Hi Tom, The wheelies of your 2015 S1000RR at the drag strip are power wheelies (clutch less) or did you use the clutch to do the wheelies? Thanks

[@JusterArt]

It's power wheelies

[@patiencewrapp2785]

Weird how similar we are. I also did 10.1 on my previous bike & 10.3 on the 15 bmw.

[@raven-gq5st]

Missed a gear on the first run? Or the TCS?

[@TheVilouboy]

I could be wrong (still riding ANALOG GSXR) but think your launch control was fighting your traction control. Shouldn't your TC be turned off?

[@SpearWarrior671]

that vrod is crazy fast!!!

[@stark1836]

So exciting!!! :)

[@sicher5852]

sweet power wheelies!

[@sicher5852]

u beated the panigale, thats the main thing :D

[@Kirakat]

You should stage inside the line of the Drag cars Rubber marks. There's a reason Every drag car puts its tires in one 2 foot strip on the track :P More rubber on the track more grip,

[@thegolflife7565]

How does the launch control work?

[@ESPSJ]

Lol the two at the end were like wtf are you doing

[@zinnyc6757]

Man I am at 0:12 and already excited as heck... can't wait...

[@jookie2542]

this guy sounds like a really nice guy
