2021 BMW S1000R Sport Review // First ride on the new M Package! 😎

[@UsernameKate]

Camera angle is dreadful so kudos if you can get through this! New mount and watched the footage back, could have cried 😅 It's forecast rain for the next few weeks and I wasn't subjecting you to ANOTHER rainy vlog 😂

[@chrislecouteur2360]

Was good could not stop laughing at the short cut, It won't rain that much this week, I'm off work this week plus a bike I've been waiting for and as I've just paid off the 1250gsa can buy another it's the law lol

[@SimonCole]

All good Kate, best part of your videos is the narration and personality and that’s pretty nice dash!

[@bsmukler]

“Abso-frickin-lutely” no problem! I always get a kick out of your commentary and the unusual camera angle actually worked well on the twisty road segment since, coupled with the beautiful engine soundtrack, it emphasized the sensation of actually riding along, focused on the upcoming turns. The new bike looks and sounds great and I am certain you just pre-sold a ton of them.

[@hariskhalid2323]

you're one of the true female riders out there and I respect that. No short bra, no booty angles, and proper gear unlike some of the other female riders in the community. Keep making awesome content.

[@Breathemusic4202]

Agreed. I dig the down to earth temperament.

[@FirstnameLastname-ew9qm]

Bike at 100%, personally and humor of Kate at 150%. Nice addition to the vlog community

[@adityaraje7015]

The sound i didn't expect this sound of bike is so beautiful as it design, i was waiting for the review for S1000R from long time since it was launched, NICE JOB thank you for review this bike.

[@Roger101Watson]

S1000R holds a special place in my heart as my first ever 1000cc bike back in 2014 and my first BMW. I really loved that bike in bright red. I'm not taken with the looks of the new one so much it's trying to fit in while the previous-gen wanted to stand out, good or bad.

[@MRR-qv3bw]

Lmao the guys at the gas station HAVE KNOW IDEA WHO THEY ARE TALKING TO! LOL

[@sleepindragon179]

I take it you're joking!

[@MRR-qv3bw]

No joke! These guys approached her and basically talked to her like she was a helpless girl just because she's a woman on a fast motorcycle that they themselves probably can't even ride. She's LITERALLY riding a bike that's not supposed to hit the streets until the next day and if these guys really rode they would of taken the opportunity to check out a brand new exclusive bike instead of trying to be a superheroes.

[@kippkewish9626]

Lmao I saw one of your comments on a different channel about a bmw bike cant remember which one though

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

Killer review and great riding. The bike looks killa. Gorgeous and I'm not talking about the bike.

Hey Kate Great video !! Love the bike !! So interesting to be watching you ride in another country . I live in Louisiana in the USA and am riding vicariously through you as I am rehabbing from a work injury so thank you so much for the escape !! Keep up the great work !! You are awesome !!

[@ClevelandBeemer]

Great video Kate! I have a 2015 S1000R which leads me to an important upgrade question. At highway speeds ~ 70Mph how is the vibration in the bars and the footpegs?

[@mikep5061]

Hi Kate, all the best for your new venture. I’m a little late to the S1000R party, but if you were to replace the down pipe and link pipe for after market, would the BMW 3 year warranty be affected at all? Many thanks 😊

[@UsernameKate]

Hi Mike, firstly thanks for the well wishes! I would only assume your warranty would be void on any complications that could have come from the new exhaust but I'd probably email [e-mail] to check this. She's a lovely lass.

[@SlapshodWingnut]

As a new rider, I'm really enjoying the realworld riding attitude from you. Doesent feel forced or 'made for tv'. You made that look effortless.

Thank you so much! I appreciate that goose! 🙏

I find it really satisfying to hear correct pronunciation of Akrapovic :D My dream bike, now my dream even more. Can't wait for 2023 !

[@AndyTheBadgerBarton]

It was not too bad Kate. Liked the view better when it was angled up looking at where you were going than looking at the bar and dash all the time. We know what the bike is like from your squeaks of excitement and enthusiasm. Bike would not be for me though as I like a bit of wind protection. I would go for the XR. 😊😘

[@richardwoad6477]

Priceless Kate🤣🤣🤣 lads in the garage if only they knew you could handle yourself. I drove around a corner the other day in my truck only to see a biker had fallen over on his 1000RR?. So like the unbelievably nice person I am I held up the traffic and jumped out to help him pick it up. It was on the A49 just past the Fox&Barrel, should he watch your video and read this message? Nice bike Kate.👍By the way the A49 just off the M56/JC10 is a bikers paradise. Nice cafe where all bikers park up for a cup of tea and a chat!!!

What a superb video as always I love your vids thanks Kate fabulous bike fabulous you

[@MyCraggy]

Hi Kate Im new to your channel and looking to get back on a bike after quite a few years, back in the day i rode a load of 2 strokes and a Kwaki z55o but havnt had a bike in 25 years! I luv the naked look and the s1000r , you talked a lot about seat height reduction on other BMWs, did you need that on the s1000r? Do you think a relative newby 5ft 7 could ride it , Have a full licence and not any accidents in 10 plus years riding , feel my bike skills are resonable though never been on a track, thoughts? I was looking at MT09 but the BMW is a class above?

[@iainf6]

Really enjoying looking back at previous videos since I've subscribed. Ace humour Kate....and fantastic rider 😉👏👏

[@UsernameKate]

Thanks Iain! Glad you enjoyed the vlogs, even the older ones! 😄

[@Invis_Space]

Is the new suspension like the RR suspension? Does it have digital scanners? 🔧 ⚙️ The old s1000r had to be manually adjusted to get into the electronics operating zone for your weight. It was a total ball ache. I would upgrade for the suspension alone.

[@simonliljeqvist]

Great video! I did a testride on one of those yesterday and then ordered one, such a fun and powerful bike!

[@chema1546]

Kate is an authentic motorcycle it does not look much like my k1200s it is lighter it looks like my old Yamaha fz1 but more current ok 👌👍

[@hisaanhaq4116]

First time on your channel, i thought wait a minute i recognise that shell garage salford lol i work at Renault Manchester will be popping round to test this bike soon nice lil review taster

Looks fantastic, Kate, what is it like for comfort regarding the knee bend and pegs?

[@nickcutler7759]

Great vid 👍 this bike is at the top of my upgrade list later in the year 😎👍

[@booshallmighty]

I skipped the video to get to the riding segment and it landed right on the part where you were putting the fuel nozzle into the tanks tiny filling hole and saying, 'Does my vagina look like I can't handle it? 🤯I was like wtf?. I had to rewind it and saw the conversation with the guy in the car. Made a lot more sense. I thought I'd wandered too far away from the TMF 😂

Yes 😊

[@larsgustafsson1712]

Earlier today i was thinking have a i missed your videos ?, hoped everything is well and now there you are again with another nice video :) And this time i got the urge to go to my local dealer when summer comes and take a testride just for fun. Never ridden any of the BMW 1000 R models but you make it look like something one must try a warm day on a nice road. Not like i'm gonna trade in the bikes i have but a test run ... :)

[@nealbran]

Great review was really good to get a proper view on what it’s like, mine just got delivered, what a bike it’s so light reminds me of riding little bikes but with big bike power it’s so easy to move about it is definitely my favourite bike so far🤙🤙

[@UsernameKate]

Glad you love it Neal!! 😊🏁

[@petertompkinson5622]

First review Ive seen on this model for 21. Really good introduction to this bike, looking forward to your in depth opinion. Why Don't you do a walk around in the showroom with all the lighting etc?? The blokes in the VW probably recognised you and were trying to wind you up lols. Good job enjoyed it.

[@UrbanoModa]

ND filter ( variable) will help keep those highlights down Kate when recording. Great video, and yes them guys probably could have worded it better, maybe they thought only men ride bikes. Does loolk nice

[@S.p.a.c.e.C.o.w.b.o.y]

I love that I know all the roads you take in your video's :) Ride safe Kate

[@theTruB]

Nice ride. Whats up with the dash around 24 minutes?

[@UsernameKate]

2 display settings on the dash. The sporty display with the speed at the top (taped over so editing is easier incase I go over) but then 24 mins is the standard display so the tape only covers the top of the numbers. Good for when town riding so I can see im not taking the mick 👍

[@johncourt9580]

Hi Kate, A nice walk-around this magnificent machine, and what a brilliant ride as always. I love the way you own the road! I just saw the front of the car swerve into your lane, but you were un-phased, and I nearly had kittens!

[@UsernameKate]

Honestly, I've mixed feeling about this go pro, it makes things too smooth and steadies everything so it all happened alot faster than it looks! Just had to quick lifesaver and get out the way!

[@mikelsay693]

Awsome blog , lovely new test ride Kate , Looks more comfortable for every day riding and not too highly priced too for a BMW 😎🏍️💨

[@jamesdonoghue5907]

Good vid, thanks. At that spec price I'd be thinking is it more exciting than an SDR or Tuono...and I have a Gen 3 RR so I'm not anti-BM. Good to see you on some roads that I know. Did you really get a GS or was that an April Fools thing?

Yea I own that GS lol

How's the turning circle. The previous model wasn't so good, you had to do 10 point turn's in tight spaces.

Thanks for letting me ride the new S1000R today, totally different beast to the previous one. See you later in the year for the GSA. 👍😎

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

Lovely vid. Even better 'cos I'm waiting for an s1000r. Not M as will be Hock grey - but did pick the forged wheels, battery, chain and other stuff. Bought on spec obvs, but p/ex (Northampton - bit too far from your shop!) an s1000r I've had for seven years so I should have some idea about the new one. Sorry to boast but anticipation is building fast ...

[@AnotherHipster]

Lovely bike Kate was not expecting to see the TFT display or the wonder wheel on a bike like this, but makes total sense. Also I have had my BMW Urban G/S X delivered a few days ago, would have brought it from you but its a bit of a journey for me. £7750 for a 2017 in mint condition at 6K miles with Wunderlich extras, pretty cracking deal off a old retired guy, catch you soon thanks for your review it convinced me to go for it

Equal excitement 🤣 a naked upright position is more familiar to me but I'd not kick either out the garage in place of the other lol

[@adelelindstrom8059]

Well, well, well I've been looking for it on KZbin. The 2021 S1000R videos on KZbin. Here I am stateside, riding the 2018 S1000R waiting for the videos to show me what I need to know about the 2021 version of my bike. I worship my motorcycle and am beyond excited about this new version. I have 25,000 miles on my S1000R and it is mind-blowing that it could be better. We likely won't get any of the new S1000R here in the state of Oregon, until fall 2021. It might be the 2022 S1000R by then. I am a bit concerned about the more forward position on the bars, and have heard the pegs might be higher than the bike I ride now. I need the lower seat, which is why I likely have to wait to be able to special order it next year. Thanks for posting. Likely the sport package is what I need as I run forged wheels on my 2018.

First of all, you need to understand I'm watching this after the XR 150 launch, and may I say I far prefer your shining natural beauty and unpretentious manner to that of certain of your company on that launch. What an excellent review and I'm sure your bank balance will soon allow you to afford one, as I'm sure many, many sales will be generated as a result of this motovlog. Ruby may ride...but Kate Conquers!!

[@lama6736]

You’re absolutely right, if you were a dude the guys in the car wouldn’t have said a word. You handled their condescension beautifully, far better than I would of! Cool video.

[@RobDaKid87]

Yeah, they would. Guys talk to each other all the time. Literally, every time I talk to another rider, I say, "Ride safe, stay safe, dont be a dumbass and kill yourself," or something like it. Some people are looking to be offended. Ya know what doesn't happen as a guy? Me being butt hurt when someone is just being polite and looking out for my safety.

[@danieloconnell4225]

Cheers for the upload; as an aside, regarding the guys telling you to be careful - I've had plenty of guys tell me to be careful on my Triumph, and I'm a man. Some people are just worried for anyone on a motorcycle - I try to take it as genuine concern. I don't think my wife (who also rides) has heard that phrase any more or any less than I have.

[@dsimon9s29]

Thank you for posting. The first video I have seen of this bike in the wild. Video is an issue, but you know that already. Back in October trying to choose between the RR or wait for the R. I was too impatient so decided on the RR. :) A bit of a difference between the GS line and the S line. :) Going to have to see it in person before I can decide if I like the front.

Hey Kate, In some of the videos I have been watching lately of yours, I do not know who has the dirtier mind lol. Great video no matter what the angle was at. I loved the sound of the engine and watching that TFT display. Question for you. I am looking at the S1000R (22-23) and the R1250R (22-23). I am looking for a commuter, to have fun on the weekends, to try and keep up with my son (he has a zx6r), and something that is comfortable if I wanted to do an overnight trip or a 2-3 day trip. Which 1 would you recommend and why? I know you have the GS so you love the boxer engine, I like the deeper sound of it but love the higher-pitched sound of that S1000R as well. Keep the videos going. Cheers

Nice job Kate, scrubbing in tires and checking out brakes and all other systems before a customer takes it for a test ride. Plus you had fun doing it too. I will not buy a bike from any dealer that does not do a test ride out of the crate after assembly.

[@mikeball5883]

What I like about demo bikes is that usually they are well specked up and make a good used buy that’s why I bought Bowker’s 6 month old F900XR TE demo last year it’s fully loaded and was a grand cheaper than a new one and because of lockdown was low mileage 😀

[@RaceWithTime]

as a previous S1000R owner this new one looks awesome, can't wait to try it myself....also I (a man) get random people asking "is that a 1000" or saying "that's a lot of bike, be careful on that thing" a fair amount, it's a bit patronizing to be lectured by some clueless cager who's more likely to plow their car into a motorcyclist while on their phone than the other way around, but its not necessarily sexist
