I have been riding bikes 40 years, and enjoying bike KZbinrs for about 5 years. Must say, for me TMF is the best of the lot, but I'm really impressed with this channel. I like the subtle difference that comes from the female perspective. Less of the emphasis only on power and less of the boring tech-spec and more of the riding and 'feel' for the bike then is the norm with most vloggers. As such I have subscribed......

Took delivery of the exact same M package a couple weeks ago., Apart from being restricted to 8000rpm till its broken in the initial response I have is how light it is on the bends. I have a 526lb Ninja H2 that's great on the freeway but on corners its cow tipping compared to the S1000RR. The carbon wheels probably have a lot to do with it quite literally feeling like a 600cc bike. You mentioned the clutch and you are spot on Kate. The traffic is heavy where I live and found myself stalling a few times. As you said its ON or OFF which needs more attention than I'd like. I fiddled with the adjuster ring. Perhaps the factory likes to ship this way but I discovered the ring to be at the tightest setting. After loosening it to the middle am now able to fan the clutch. Its a lot more forgiving in those stop and go rush hour trips. I'm told the ECU sets us free after 500mi. Its the only gripe I have so far. Love the scenery and the accent. Be safe always.

Have you ridden the older model with the oddball headlights? It just seemed to me to be a better road going super bike. The new model is a little more race oriented. Also just a little heads up on the brakes. Brembo bought Hayes which are made in the US. They've been making brakes for vehicles including high performance and industrial vehicles since 1946.
@RadDadisRad4 жыл бұрын
Compare the 2020 M package to the out going HP4. You change your mind. The new mode is very docile when you need it to be. Even unrestricted or tuned it’s still livable. It’ll do clutch ups in max power mode no problem and in low power mode your gran could ride it with a little seat padding.
