2021 BMW S 1000 R | ROAD AND TRACK TEST!

[@JDsGafflin]

Wow I just had flashbacks to Baron vids… miss those days lol!

[@FredsFullThrottle]

Came here to say this, I miss the occasional BVG video.... These are great, but I wish we'd get one of the originals once in a while. :)

[@Chris-Brauch]

What happened to him??

[@FredsFullThrottle]

@@Chris-Brauch He's just doing 44 Teeth now it seems, his last video on BVG was well over a year ago if I remember.

[@Chris-Brauch]

So is that the same dude? I didn’t know that. Lol. Lamb chops son??

[@FredsFullThrottle]

@@Chris-Brauch Yup, same dude. If you go back to the very first few videos from 44Teeth, you'll see Baron explaining they were starting this new channel for reviews and to be a bit more "professional" than him just bombing around on his KTM or GSXR. I enjoy both channels, but I loved the older road trips he did on bikes as BVG. :)

[@JDelta87]

I really appreciate you not holding back on your thoughts about this bike, especially while on a press launch event.

[@mrfiftyfifty9974]

Too many non honest reviews out there. It's like they are worried if they said something shite,their privileges get provoked. Seen a couple"honest" constructive reviews from 44teeth and I like it.

[@FLYEAL]

Chris (at least on YT) has always been brutally honest (eg bad car accident, depression, some social anxiety etc…) and very funny - while also a whinging, egotist. That’s the draw.

[@maldridge7630]

It would be good to see a comparison between this and the new speed triple.

[@FortyFourTeeth]

yeah - we wanna get naked this summer..

[@lukaszg74]

Speed triple any day of the week, this looks like Chinese 125

[@lordgibbness]

I just did this comparison myself. The beemer is the nicer road bike. The whole bike just flows down the road better. Better low speed manners, better steering lock, better quick shifter etc.

[@stevofoz]

44Teeth is the only channel on the tube that makes me wish I could wipe my memory so I can rewatch all the content again. The majority creating bike-related content on here is either pandering to the advertisers or afraid to say what they really think for fear of reprisals from the manufacturer. 44Teeth set the benchmark the others should strive so much harder to achieve.

[@jockmcpherson1647]

15:06 Yep. I got rear-ended on the way to Cadwell yesterday, and it was not fun. Miraculously no damage to me or the bike though.

[@rab..]

16:25 look at the state of the rad fins from what's getting chucked up from your own front tyre alone. Chopsies bike might well have burst itself at that rate.

[@buncobooth]

That is shocking, BMW shouldn't be allowed to sell this cheaply made piece of crap !

[@rab..]

@@buncobooth pretty concerning, wouldn't imagine these demo bikes have more than a couple thousand miles on them (if even) . Without a rad guard you could be changing a rad as a service item along with oil and filters 😂😂🙈

[@BrookyGSA]

I hate the combined rear lights / indicators too, cracking vid as always from 44 teeth, well done guys

[@JacquesWood952]

I enjoyed the more casual voice over at the end vs. The “M&S food advert” voice overs the videos often get.

[@jacko4444]

Great review and vid as always...Bring on the naked mega test movie alongside the Superduke / V4R / Speed triple etc!

[@faffynuck7710]

Sue, always so easy to listen to - by far the best presenter of them all.

[@Daedricbob]

I feel proper homesick watching this - I grew up chucking a bike around the Lincolnshire back roads.

[@hunkyleepickle]

i always liked the look of my first gen s1000r, and it felt more roomy ergonomically than the second gen bike. This new one is clearly refined, but i feel it just all looks a bit 'white bread' compared to some of its euro competitors now. Also I cannot forgive BMW for dialing out all the little pops and crackles on decel that the S1000r and XR made on the stock bike.

[@bakinskigamer8495]

You still have the pops and bangs. Just in Dynamic Pro mode tho

[@Lifeofriley18]

It's lovely to hear the Baron sounding so cheerful.

[@JamesMadelin]

Love these... but gutted they made the headlight cluster look so mundane.... I vastly prefer the odd mismatched double lights from previous years.

[@MrRadialdrift]

Yeah, the asymmetrical version looked amazing

[@brianglendenning1632]

Never a fan of the asymmetrical - and I have owned one since 2017 - but the new bike’s face looks awful. When it competes with the stunning Speed, Tuono and Streetfighter, it is when coupled to the power deficit a material issue

[@MrRadialdrift]

@@brianglendenning1632 The face looks like a cheap 300cc bike and this a a premium 1000cc bike.

[@brianglendenning1632]

@@MrRadialdrift agree. The cornering lights would be functional and one hopes otherwise better than the asymmetrical lights on the prior model (which are “adequate” with stock globes and slightly better with high output globes).

[@JDeezle21]

2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000 /w Aftermarket Cabon Wheels & Arrow System. That is my soon to be Liter Naked decision and set up.

[@CPUspeed]

YES I have seen guards on oil coolers, just include a radiator guard on the bike! Are they worried someone will not want one?

[@Dp3.16]

Great review Chris 👏seems like your the only vlogger who's not going along with the MSM Charade 👍

[@RobertPaulson87]

I'm sure it's an amazing bike to ride, but it looks like a generic naked Japanese bike from 2015. Very disappointing considering BMW have always made the S1000RR and S1000R stand out with their styling in the past.

[@TeeBee997]

I agree. I saw it first now and I couldn’t believe it, especially the headlight

[@4637bigred]

Robert, I was looking at the bike and thought...something just isn't right. You nailed it. You are exactly right about it's appearance. Stay safe.

[@mb7762]

I like it, looks like they cared more about style than trying to look different for the sake of being different. The fit and finish is still sick.

[@eduardoolivares9653]

Because it is a Chinese copy of old Japanese naked bikes

[@mattthompson8657]

Headlight makes it look like a Grom.

[@ericmoore3174]

What’s happened here then?! That was a very honest, pro review. Not that the previous ones weren’t but somebody seems to have stepped up the 44teeth “not fucking around” level.

[@matthewkimpton4865]

So pleased Chris did this review 🔥.

[@ansesaal]

Cannot believe that lighting set up at the rear. Dangerous I say... How bizarre to think they were ok'd for the UK like that. Even more so when you see that Ducati had to have a different set up for the front indicators on the new Monster for the US market. Great vid though!!

[@MrGaz555]

I have been bugging yourself and statham about this bike for the last year. and finally three days before i collect my one ye deliver the revue i a have bee waiting for. great revue and now even more excited to take delivery.

[@carllewis1691]

I picked up my S1000R SPORT Racing Red on Friday last week and I have found it to be amazing - extremely well balanced steering, light but controlled confidence inspiring turning into bends, roundabouts, throttle is very very smooth and the suspension very compliant soft when the it has to be and firm when required. The self cancelling indicators are a welcomed addition along with the hill hold assist and I am appreciating for the first time the quick shifter/blipper. It was very easy to connect the SENA units on my two helmets. I am as you can tell very very pleased

[@smgw15]

Love watching all the bike channels but watching your vids are like watching Top Gear, they are class! Love that new lid aswell Sue looks mint

[@witnesspropro]

The exhaust collector box is a ghastly mess. It's almost like they forgot to finish the bike off. BMW takes some tips from Ducatti.

[@leebrandencallaghan]

At 0.16 you catch a glance of the radiator and I thought to myself 'That looks like a major oversight'. 5 minutes later..

[@lrolo8974]

Just brought the new super duke, I was worried about the release of this bike in case I made a mistake but I definitely did not 😂

[@NekkeDeez]

A BMW shouldn't scare a Super Duke owner. The only bikes that compete up there is the Aprilia Tuono and the Super Duke in my opinion.

[@2ane]

@@NekkeDeez very different beast, there really isnt anything comparable to the Superduke as there is no other big V-Twin hyper-naked on the market. You want a fast super-bike with upright seating position? You get the Touno. You want an absurd torque-machine that scares the shit out of you? Get the SuperDuke.

[@NekkeDeez]

@@2ane They are very different beasts, and I'm not comparing them. They're just the only bikes that compete in that "category" in my opinion. What I'm saying is that, the Tuono and the Super Duke are the bikes that get me excited.

[@fyorbane]

@@2ane Or you can have the fastest accelerating super naked [while pulling bonkers wheelies] of all in the Kawasaki ZH2.

[@2ane]

@@fyorbane Its just so freaking heavy, i get why some people would prefer an inline 4 and im sure the compressor makes it a thrill to ride but the SuperDuke still has some more Torque and weighs considerably less. Not saying its bad but its once again completely different.

[@kmc7355]

1:01 Jazz hand 🖐

[@f1hotrod527]

It doesn't have the shiftcam so it does lack a little bit in the top end, but that is to be expected for a streetbike? Aprilia, KTM, Ducati, ZH2 don't seem to lack top end. I was slightly interested in this bike, and then I found out they left out shiftcam, and then this bike died in my mind.

[@chrishunter5041]

Nice bike, hope BMW sort out the out of focus/ fuzzy dash issue 😂

[@RikkyTang]

Not sure if Chris comes back to it later in the video but the it looks like BM have fitted Speedo Angels dash protectors... IMO they are total toss because they add a red tint to the screen and look fuzzy at certain angles.

@@RikkyTang I think the guy is making a joke about the pixelated speedo when their going over the uk speed limits 😂

[@flyingmako5302]

Asymmetrical headlamp no more, but now you get asymmetrical lever guards.

[@windyrun7979]

Regarding the rear indicator - I'm pretty sure in the US the indicator works like the headlights in an audi; the brake light on the side with the active indicator stays off leaving only the opposite side brake light on and the indicator side light flashing.

[@Flip01]

Good to see you finally doing a bike review Chris, feel like its been ages. Enjoyed it mate. Would love to see a group naked bike shootout.👍

[@SINIS0RSA]

I wonder what did the designer smoke while designing that headlight/front end?

[@davidmoss5424]

Literally just bought a rad guard for my KTM, after watching this review. Had never even given it a thought, which is weird as I took a stone to the visor yesterday. Slightly surprised that embedding the brake light in the indicator like that is even legal. Great review. Thank you, Chris.

[@nigelstefani]

Tune in the into?? Absolute banger!!

[@simonsays602]

Agree with your comments about BMW finish Baron. Compared to my 2015 RR the new RR has cheap plastic everywhere, is missing the alloy top yoke and polished swing arm, all black switchgear etc. Not to mention the leaking Hayes brakes, constant recalls and hearing about non-starting and breakdowns.

[@1MrBryn]

You guys really need a comparison between this and the new GSXS1000 to see whether all the toys on the beemer are worth spending the extra money on. Think of it as a slobs Vs snobs movie for bikes.

[@andrewshore262]

[@lordgibbness]

It's a bloody good road bike. Just tested it today. Such a fun bike on the twisties and on open dual carriageways. Quick shifter is so smooth. It's pretty raucous when you open the taps. I enjoyed it a lot!

GoPros usually get choppy when the SD card can't keep up with the recording. Depending on your SD card age, it may be dying or have errors

[@HalfdeadRider]

I'll have to test this out with mine, I get some weird flashes of colour now and again. It's either this or my camera is dying slowly and prematurely.

[@angrydwarf6563]

Rode one two weeks ago on a road test. Vibey and uninspiring. Prefer the Tuono- loads more character.

[@villea1841]

The problem this bike has is that here BMW dealers also sell Triumph. And when you see the Speed Triple 1200 RS in the store you'll newer look at the Beemer again.

[@UrbanoModa]

Your shutter speed needs to be double the amount of your frame rate, so if you are @ 30fps it needs to be 1/60th of a second or more, not less, but preferably exactly double. Its a film rule called the 180 rule. If it's 60fps its 1/120 shutter speed. Don't ISO over 1600, look around 400 for day light work or less. regards, here since early BVG days.

[@BaronVonGrumble]

We don't shoot the b roll, thats provided by the manufacturer

[@AUXRVIII]
