Your review puts MCN,s to shame, theyre always bangin on that its the biggest selling motorcycling weekly in the world and time after time your reviews outclass theirs. 👍

Jeff Andrews different medium to be fair. MCN has its place in print imo

Aren't they being accused of covering up some of Nortons CEO misconduct?

[@bschoenecker]

Agree

[@gavinbatty7412]

Mossy.... a real mans review Forget those who have money to throw away or race random tracks every other weekend, knowledge and background more than us mortals will ever have but still in his roots with an average joe review, legend!

[@joehembrough7655]

Thank god for this, life didn't feel the same without 44teeth for two weeks!

[@MUNRO13]

So where’s the Ninja SX review??????

[@cpuuk]

Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about ;-)

[@flyingdutchy01]

Mossy is the real star of this show 💪

[@mcba]

I appreciate a reviewer withholding judgment on head-to-head comparisons rather than jumping to conclusions about one bike being better than another based on the spec. It shows integrity. Nice one!

[@primitivemass]

So nice to see you're keeping your bonkers uncle busy 😉 love Mossy, please take him on the next BBB 😂

[@tobortine]

_"...battle ship grey, wat ar' ya doin?..."_ - Please can we have more of this brilliant Geordie?

[@mungo75]

Gotta love Mossy, completely honest and direct. This is the man I'd want reviewing the bike I was looking to buy. 👍

[@Timmayytoo]

I love Chris & Al but I'm always happy to see Mossy.

[@digijams]

Mossy is an F'n legend. Making the wacking off motion describing onlookers looking at a Ducati is classic!

[@toxicnerveYT]

The LCD dash on these BMWs has got to be one of the best around. Its bloody massive and very clear.

[@arunps7719]

Idk why the new cars' suck. All that trianglar side bar rev counter and shit

[@supergixxers]

you know its gonna be a good one when mossy's is on it! he's the right men for these type of bike reviews 👌👌👌

[@mbtfp]

Great review of a man, that knows what he is talking about! Next please: Multistrada vs S1000XR! No one who is in the market for an XR is going to consider a Kawasaki SX...cheers

[@dmandhelen]

mbtfp no your right ... they’d probably go for the versys or v-Strom .... something similar to it ..

[@t38talontr]

kind of good to see there are still a couple ppl who talks about her though she is 50 yrs old now...makes me feel younger :)

[@ChrisPlow]

Great review as ever, love the Mossy, ‘whoosh ya bugger’ I can see a market for 44 flat caps 👍

[@bufftankington7349]

I took one out for a short testride 5 days ago. Engine was superb, clutch felt a bit jumpy, but you get used to it quickly, suspension and brakes are great, handling is nice in the corners. But this testride was only maybe 30 minutes or so, but it would for sure be a bike that needs to be looked at if I was in the market for a sporttourer

[@DGBomber]

Please make an S1000 XR Vs Ninja 1000 SX comparison as soon as possible!

[@MichaelRachal]

"And be prepared to get the horn". . . I almost had tears in my eyes.

[@darrylcoomer1539]

Can't believe nobody has done a side by side review on the BMW XR & 1000 SX & Suzuki GT!! Please do one??

[@graylunsford]

This is BY FAR the best review of this bike that I’ve seen and i think i’ve seen just about everything on KZbin about it. thanks!

[@tubeviewer-qp1fb]

I don't understand the cut-out seat profile on the XR. It looks horrible and is not comfortable! They offer a higher seat, but not sure if it's a 'comfort' seat like on other BMW model options. I had a 'comfort' seat on my S1000R which was excellent. Dealers won't spec the demo with a comfort seat and you'll struggle to see the higher seat pre ordering one.....so you have the option of passing on the whole bike or hoping for the best! Bonkers! It's meant to be comfortable!! Get it sorted BMW!

[@hubert1142]

great job Mossy boy, as always

[@GIGABACHI]

13:28 No, Mate, the direct competitor to it is the O.G MultiStrada. One of the firsts, if not the first of the Adventure Sports (17" wheel front and back). The Ninja 1000SX(low and full on plastics) is more of a VFR800 competitor. Nowhere near as open, airy and tall as the Bimmer or the DUC.

[@diamondmidnightgardener]

What a mad funny bastard Mossy is. Love his blue talk and str8 talking humour. Plenty of info for those chasing a Bismark grey 2 wheeler.

[@davidbarber5707]

I came from a z1000 to a s1000r. Loved the Kwak and had three types, however the s1000r is miles ahead in every department so would imagine the same with the xr compared to the sx.

[@tonydavis5053]

I have the 23’ S1000XR w/M package love it more every mile I ride it!

[@gianni3774]

Is it much different from the 2020?

[@tomtraynor5384]

I believe part of the 10-kilogram weight loss is the new bike doesn't need a pannier mounting system--so BMW subtracted the weight of said mounting system just out of hand. Not a true 10k loss. Can anyone verify? Thanks.

[@gnarshread]

Good point!

[@tomtraynor5384]

@@gnarshread It's actually TWO net kilograms weight savings.

[@Mowser63]

To some, 10kgs weight saving sounds a lot....to others, it’s merely a full English and a decent shite

[@northwest8634]

Saw Chad's vid before this. Good job the lot of ya. Loved the 'on location at JHS'.

[@Astonishist]

People looking at this will be looking at Multistrada and Super Duke GT, not the SX. I've owned a 2011 SX in the past and the vibration is horrendous. Did one tour and got rid.

[@rzu7120]

It's all about the competition. If Ducati puts a 200 hp motor in the Multistrada, BMW will put the shiftcam engine in the XR, and raving about how much better it is than the previous model.

[@mavricxx]

Can you guys review the 2020 Ninja 1000SX, thanks love your show!

[@alanbriggs7177]

There's a bit of a price difference. For me the Z1000 wins on value for money. Plus I don't really like the looks of the BMW

[@rumporridge1]

Alan Briggs I agree. Giving the Z1000SX a serious look.

[@devjones]

awesome review Mossy

[@pongassassin]

Great vid. Would love to see you guys review the new 2020 Ninja 1000SX! Also, a question: why does this bike have to be on an adventure-height chassis? Could they not accomplish all of the same goals in a standard sports-tourer to offer an alternative format to the R1250RS?

[@johnnazar180]

Hopefully they do it a bit differently with the new S1000r. I hope they put in the new engine AND up the horsepower from the current model.

[@motosagela]

Love this guy! More please

[@bobcarter5548]

Rode the old XR, came out of the dealer and by the time I had driven around the roundabout I could have taken it back, the vibration is just rubbish. Dealers were saying fix it by getting big bar end weights and filling the bars with sand. Totally bad engine to frame design. Great bike. Tragic vibes. Just fit rubber engine mountings.

[@AntaresSQ01]

The one older than this the 2015-2019 is my dream bike, it looks so gorgeous, and knowing you've got a tourified S1000RR underneath you is unmatchable. I don't particularly like the look of this, looks too much like an actual sports tourer vs a risen sport bike.
