2016 BMW S1000RR Review After 15.000km

After 2 years of ownership, it was time for me to make a review of my S1000RR. I go through all of the bikes features and my overall feelings after 15.000km.

in my eyes this will forever be the best looking bike from factory, one day... one day...

[@SeeMeRiding]

I have to agree 😉

[@fzr1000981]

Just picked one up for $12k - mint condition, 700 miles, bone stock

[@tysoncott7402]

Just picked up a 58yr old original owner 2015, 100% stock!!!

[@O.A_Ih4teno0bs]

@@SeeMeRiding i heard s1000rr's have combined braking is that true?

[@SeeMeRiding]

@@O.A_Ih4teno0bs Yes that's true!

[@Primal922]

This is the best review on youtube. Very informative and greatly appreciated. Subscribed

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks man! Really appreciate it.

[@didntstickthe1v150]

Agreed

[@morsteadriders4221]

Best review I've seen of the gen3. Helped me understand my s1000rr. Many thanks and well done.

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks very much!

[@didntstickthe1v150]

One question, how many gens are there and which years are they?

[@SeeMeRiding]

@@didntstickthe1v150 1st gen bikes are from 2010-2013. Then in 13/14 came the HP4. They did in a minor facelift in 2014, but nothing major. 2015-2018 is this bikes gen. 19/20 came the brand new one. Some ppl count the 2017-2018 as a new gen as it was Euro 5, but it didn't really do anything else to the bike, except the new emission regulations, so it got the big cat converter and different color schemes.

[@didntstickthe1v150]

SeeMeRiding thank you very much, so are there big differences between the gens? Im planning to buy one and im not sure which ones. Also, ive heard the new models dont backfire when quickshiting. Because that bang sounds so crazy😍

[@SeeMeRiding]

@@didntstickthe1v150 The 1st Gen bikes pop really loud on upshifts. 2nd gen like mine pops less loud but it always pops in lift off and downshifting. Also if you give a little bit throttle it always pops. The 2nd Gen bikes improved a lot. Up and downshifting, semi active suspension, cruise control, more torque. Try to test both before buying if possible. But if you can't, i'd go with the 2nd Gen ;)

[@checker3694]

First class review, for once a proper in depth A to Z on all the complex features of this bike explained. Thinking of buying 2016 s1000rr. Well done.

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks very much!

[@kathygarber3230]

Ive got a 2016. It'll be 3yrs. In april 2019 since I purchased it new. Ive put 26500 miles on it. Lots of thrills along the way. Love my bike. Check out the new s1000rr that's soon to be released. 8 more hp. and 25ish lbs. lighter.

[@ALTAIRGAMINGTECH]

Has it been reliable?

[@ishamkader2696]

Just like BMW cars...flawless no drama but just do it👍👍👍

[@lifeofcorn894]

excellent review clear and to the point. major help in my choice. ride safe! love the candy bar part lmfao.

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks very much! Same back at you 🤜🤛

[@izumaki100]

Dream bike :)

Best review on youtube! Keep up the amazing content.

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks very much!

[@theroaster8329]

Awesome video! I learned twice as much about my 2018 than I did from reading manual. Thank-you!

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks very much!

[@IanHimself28]

Great video. I'm thinking this is going to be the bike I purchase this month.

[@SeeMeRiding]

Awesome. Glad you liked it. And congrats if your buying this bike!

[@user-ze6iq9dg3e]

the best review ever thanks!

Thanks, appreciated!

Late but this is the best bike review ive seen. so good

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks! Really appreciate it!

[@REX_FX_3]

It contains many details thank u for a detailed review #top1 review Very satisfied and hope u will make s1000rr videos more😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks very much! I'm trying to do as many videos as I can 🙏

[@Robert-pf5xw]

Lots of usefull information, thanks bro

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks!

[@no2rides115]

Excellent Review lots of useful information for someone who just bought his bike. You sold this bike did you buy another bike or what bike are you thinking of buying?

[@kennmcdonagh1032]

I think BMW should have incorporated a magnetic ink display for the speedometer because there is no glare from day light.. it’s the same as a Kindle book. Can be read easily with sun shining directly on it.

[@SeeMeRiding]

I've never had issues on not being able to read the speedo even in the most brightest days. Take into consideration that GoPro quality is not the best and isn't as sharp as a human eye 🙂

[@soamjena]

Did you connect an external mic cable to gopro which was mounted to tank ?

[@SeeMeRiding]

I did have an external mic. I used in this video the Zoom H2 as an external mic.

[@soamjena]

SeeMeRiding got a pic of the case or setup ?

[@SeeMeRiding]

I just have a microfone from the GoPro in the helmet and i have the zoom h2n in my jacket pocket. So nothing major

[@tysoncott7402]

Great review!

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thank you!

[@pankajgiri467]

Best review in KZbin

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks appreciate it!

[@jmppaa]

When the video started I noticed that you had really distinctive Finnish accent and was wondering if you are a Finn. When I saw Rukka jacket, I was sure about it :D

[@SeeMeRiding]

I sure am Finnish! 🙂

[@kathygarber3230]

On the quickshift part of this video he says when downshifting the throttle has to be closed...I've got a 2016 skrr that will downshifting at open throttle.

[@Max-jh9ng]

I’m getting an all black one but the red and white looks sick might have to get after market fairing kit

[@EEEBA1]

Did you get the bike? Thank you.

[@krishuggins4358]

You forgot to talk about the pit lane limiter

[@ProdicalMan]

Superb review! Subscribed!

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks man! Appreciate it.

[@seanviper99]

What is this bike like for touring?. I used to tour 6 hours on my gsxr1000 so am wondering what this is like

[@SeeMeRiding]

It's very comfortable. The longest i've done in 1 day was probably around 8-9 hours of driving. And it would be even better if you get the higher windshield. You can just chill using cruise control :)

[@seanviper99]

Thanks bro

[@roadracerqx893]

What roads were you on? Excellent video! Researching and likely to buy.

[@SeeMeRiding]

It's the Ronda road. So in Southern Spain, north of Marbella 🙂

[@roadracerqx893]

Damn, I was in Spain for the 1st time in Sept.’2016 and in Marbella the 1st 5 days! I wanted to rent a motorcycle, but chickened out when I got there because I didn’t know how the terrain would be....didn’t want to get “stuck” on a dangerous or sketchy road. Aarrgghh!

[@nawazskrr6027]

Good review! I'm getting mine delivered in few days. Can you fold the mirrors??

[@SeeMeRiding]

Oh nice 👍 Yes you can fold the mirrors

[@PreethamRameshNaik]

Is it comfortable to tour on this? Like 300-400 miles a day .

[@SeeMeRiding]

Check out my other videos! I did 4200km in 4 days 😁 And i've done 2 other tours on this bike. One was 2700km in 6 days and the other 1200km in 2 days. So in short, YES!

[@Asif-ii9dz]

Excellent review. I'm considering a late 2017 model. Your review has been very helpful. I am also considering the new 2020 M sport model. Have you had a chance to ride it for comparison?

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks! Haven't had a chance to ride the new S1000rr yet, but hopefully in the near future 🙂

[@rickgarza265]

Great review ! So does this bike have the auto shift option to deactivate so that it can be used with the traditional clutch lever ?

[@SeeMeRiding]

Thanks. It can be deactivated in the settings, but if you want to use the clutch, just use the clutch. No need to disengage the quickshift system.

[@MrRUSINA]

Are you Finnish?

[@SteveO1988]

sorry but where do these figures come from? 0-200kmh in 6.87sec and 0-120mph is 7.22sec? when 120mph=193kmh?

[@SeeMeRiding]

I just picked these from wikipedia i think. Yeah those figures don't make sense, didn't notice that before 😁

[@marcculliford9022]

so what's the best one to use if you want all the power and be able to lift the front wheen please I just got this bike

[@SeeMeRiding]

I guess slick mode gives the most fun as it only uses electronics to save you right at the end. And this bike has the toggle to give less or more traction/wheelie control

[@iii3y3iii]

How is it currently? 4 years later from the video posting?

[@SeeMeRiding]

I've sold it actually. I drove 30,000km with it, had zero issues. Couldn't have asked for anything more

[@RideWithDanger]

Would you say this is a good sport bike for a short rider? The only liter bike with a shorter seat height is a GSXR1000. I know seat height isnt everything, but I had to lower my GSXR600, I was wondering if I could get away with just a little lowering on this bike, or if it was a really wide bike and I needed to look elsewhere.

[@SeeMeRiding]

That's a tough one. Best would be to find a shop where they have the bike and test of the height is a problem

[@Rius1k]

Ride with danger im also a short rider and i can tell you that you gonna love this bike its a top machine in every way

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

#RideWithDanger - I am a short rider coming in at 163cm. For me this version is too high. I am on tippy toes. You can get a lower seat plus having some of the internals shaved out. Having said that, I have an Aprilia Tuono for 2 years now and I get by without major incidents & have never dropped it. Check out the new BMW S1000RR 2019 version. Its much shorter wheel base and slightly relaxed seated position (not as aggressive bar position) make it a real option for shorter riders on seat height alone. Having said all that BMW does offer lower seat options. Go to your local dealer and have a good look and sit on it before you take it out for a spin. Respect to you.

[@awesomeagnihotrisvlog]

HI THERE AWSMMMMM VIDEO.

[@SeeMeRiding]

Hi, thank you for watching. Glad you enjoyed it !

[@mohammadshsg6504]

I want to buy one of this bmws from 2012 to 2018 how much average of price

[@SeeMeRiding]

All depends on the countries tax really. Anywhere between 10,000-20,000€

[@DB-sd3cw]

Fuck your bike is beautiful...

[@orewaescanoresamada5740]

Do you think its a good idea to get it for a daily use ?

[@SeeMeRiding]

Well my intent wasn't to use it as a daily in the first place, but it was so nice to ride everyday that i didn't find a need to keep a car along with the bike. In my opinion this is the best bike in the world.

[@222vessel]

such a sexy color and a dream bike of mine

[@michaeljkasnter]

17-CBR-1000RR-SP2!!!

[@lilbfrom094princeton8]

What are those tires?!

[@SeeMeRiding]

Michelin Pilot Road 4 at this time as i was mostly doing long rides with the bike. I previously had softer and more "race" tires. but they wore out from the middle quite quickly.

[@83Rafaello]

280 - 300 kmh in more than 4 seconds? i think for this 20 kmh the s1rr dont need so much time...

[@SeeMeRiding]

Those figures was found by google, so the results may vary.

[@georyd]

I just wonder, does the power ever get old?

[@SeeMeRiding]

In someways yes, but you always smile when you do a hard pull in 1st or 2nd gear 😁

[@singsingsasakul2981]

Maybe remove the background music when discussing the sound of the bike? :)

[@SeeMeRiding]

Perhaps yeah, will do for the future 🙂

[@xYZFxrider]

I want it

[@yellowchocolate8539]

Tf you gonna show us the sound the the exhaust and put on music

[@SeeMeRiding]

Yeah i messed up on that one. 😑

I've just traded my 2016 for a 2021.

Nice 😎

We'll go to the sound of the bike but then covers it with music. Smh

My mistake 🙋🏻‍♂️

@@SeeMeRiding still a good video sir

[@petermoygannon698]

just brought the 18 model with 12000km my bike is not smooth at 3 thousand revs doing 40 in traffic. it's gerkey ..and in neutral at 3 thousand revs the needle on dash jumping around 2mm either side of 3 grand. that's what's makeing it shit. bike shop said is ok. I need to know if others have this unsmooth ride at slow speed ..my hayabusa is way smoother at 3 thousand .I want to prove this bmw mechanic wrong. can anyone jump in . hold your bike at 3 thousand for me in neutral please. I wouldn't buy this bike new like this.

[@SeeMeRiding]

Sounds like there is something wrong with the bike. I had never experienced what you have. Even if you drive on low revs with 3 gear or higher, it shouldn't do what it does with your bike. I suggest to maybe get another opinion from different shop. Some shops can be real dicks and just says "yeah, yeah it's normal" They just want sales and don't care for the customers. But also remember that this is a high revving sports bike and it likes to be in higher revs, but i've driven so much in traffic with my S1000RR and never had these kind of issues.

[@terror85]

dude you have no idea how that bike works 🤣🤣 only stuff you read online.
