2021 BMW S1000RR REVIEW| First impressions

[@daarkke]

Thinking of getting the M version. Great review mate.

[@MrPninja]

Congrats on the bike, side note the M Version has rear ride height adjustment and swing arm pivot as well, which are pretty major things to have, but great to see a fellow Aussie doing the new bmw vids

[@Brookmanrider]

I think mine as that as well. Thanks man love the bike at the moment.

[@CavernYogi]

When you finally get it unrestricted and "give it the beans" above 10k RPM, it is going to Blow Your Mind!!! I first rode one at Virginia International Raceway here in the USA, and it was amazing. Cheers from the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina USA : )

[@CavernYogi]

@@sonics747 I purchased my Hockenheim Silver S1000RR in Sept 2020 and have put around 3000 "spirited" miles on it. I ride twisty mountain roads early in the morning (full race suit) before people wake up and get out. On the street I mostly ride below 10k RPM and it has "very strong" and "controllable" power in that range. In longer straight line sections I let it rip for a few seconds, but in high rpms. it pulls so brutally quick through 100-125 mph (160-200 kph) that you can easily get into trouble and overshoot corner entry on public winding roads. IMHO the 2020+ BMW S1000RR is the best dual purpose street/race motorcycle bike currently in production.

[@Brookmanrider]

Hasn’t got 50% I’m just running it in.

[@MiscName]

All the talk on your Street Triple LAMs video about how that’s more than enough power for the street. Then you got a Speed Triple? Now this! Haha classic mate. We all set out eyes on the next fastest bike on the ladder don’t we :)

[@Brookmanrider]

It’s all addictive haha

[@peterhird3542]

Hi Brookman Rider, Just discovered your channel 👍🎥. Great video covering the BMW. I’ll be scoping the rest of your channel to see what I can find. Fantastic to have an Australian perspective...nice to watch the Hills District cruise by 😀. Cheers.

[@Brookmanrider]

Thanks so much appreciate it. 👌🙏

[@Lar308]

Great review thanks. No plans to change the exhaust on mine - worried about warranty and insurance consequences. I did do a full set of R&G protectors on it - crash bungs / radiator guards / axle protectors etc but did not put any engine casing protectors and I like that bronze matching the rear frame. Wish I had the Australian weather over here. Have mine since early January and only managed 570km on it so far over the weather.

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

Great video mate. So good to see some Australian content on this bike. I have the BMW 2020 s1000r & it's a ripper but the s1000rr is a deadset rocketship. I sat on one today & I'm too short to be confident if I'm being honest.

[@Brookmanrider]

Yeah I’m on my toes but never feel uncomfortable on it. Mate the new 2021 s1000r will be sick I’m keen to ride that.

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

@@Brookmanrider Would be good to hear your views. Personally, I think BMW dropped the ball on the 2021 update. They should have gone for 170bhp & for a range of 100NM-120NM torque. Respect.

[@Brookmanrider]

@@gabrieljohannson6777 yeah I think so as well needs 180hp and more because of Ducati v4 street fighter 200hp new speed triple 180hp Ktm 180 it’s crazy to keep it so low

[@colberki]

MOTORRAD in their recent review tested the 2021 S1000R and the engine returned 171bhp and 118Nm torque. My local AD says BMW is conservative when rating their engines.

[@spartan617rides3]

Subbing simply cause you’re a fellow Aussie, also actually a good video. 😊

[@Brookmanrider]

Thanks mate appreciate it

[@pmccartney80]

Great review. I went for a look at one today - comparing to an MV Agusta. Was concerned about comfort - you seem to find it ok so far. Not too bad on the wrists compared to the Speed Triple? I would be moving from an MT10 and had an 2018 Speed Triple previously.

[@Brookmanrider]

Nice man yeah it’s actually not bad at all. Legs are a little higher then speed but on the bars it’s very comfortable. You in Sydney?

[@pmccartney80]

@@Brookmanrider I'm in Brisbane so not quite as wet as down there at the moment. Are you finding the power pointless compared to the Speed?

[@LeroyRallyX]

It's good to hear that the Australian version doesn't have that flat spot the USA models have. I just sold my 2015 S1000RR and I'm now in the market for a new bike. I know if I test ride the new BMW I'll probably end up buying it. Great review 👍 you just got a new subscriber.

[@Brookmanrider]

Man it’s so good. Can’t get over how good this new model is. You will love it

[@pauljarvis446]

I'm going to trade in my 2016 S1000RR sometime this year.

[@Brookmanrider]

Do it. New one is amazing

[@preddy4100]

There is still a flat spot between 8-9500k rpm, when you end up going for your first service and the bike is completely unlocked you will see what I mean, most people recommended getting a bren tuning flash from America as it eliminates all that plus the weird/uneven cold starts you get

[@Brookmanrider]

Yeah it’s not there on the Australian model. I didn’t notice any real flat spot.

[@lexrou5996]

Awesome bike. And top review man keep it up. Exhaust will be epic

[@chantellerau]

This is awesome, can't wait to see where you take this next 🙌🏻👌🏻🔥

[@Brookmanrider]

Thank you 🙌

[@88SpeedJunkie]

Can't wait to see the long rides/ road trips

[@Brookmanrider]

Definitely coming up soon. When it stops raining

[@88SpeedJunkie]

On the exhaust my vote is the austin racing GP3 shorty

[@Brookmanrider]

@@88SpeedJunkie oh yes I have been looking at this. Sounds amazing

[@mingli2814]

I am in Sydney as well 🐱

[@ldfloors9750]

Bella vista!!!

[@arcanablood-demon9272]

Hello man ! Congratulation for your bike, I'm going to chose this bike or the panigale V2, the panigale only because I heard is more fun on the streets. How u feel about using it in the City ? It is fun to ride ? Or too much ? I went from a 600cc plz help I'm very undecided ahaha

[@Brookmanrider]

It would be better then a v2 around the city v2 is more hardcore and it’s hot. But looks nice the v2

[@arcanablood-demon9272]

Thanks !

[@allnighterist]

@@arcanablood-demon9272 this is the best superbike that u can also enjoy in city riding, cos its got usable low-mid power from that VVT.

[@arcanablood-demon9272]

@CalvinRR thank you !

[@Breathemusic4202]

I have a v4s. Very hot. Great track bike. And canyons and country. But around town/city i hate it. ....cuz all ot wants to do isGOOOOO

[@stevet5800]

What helmet is it that you’re using

[@brookmantrails]

Awesome bike man. Great review

[@Brookmanrider]

Thanks! 👍

[@homersimpson2963]

Have you had any problems with the fork seals leaking?

[@Brookmanrider]

nope

[@doncappo1509]

Every is relative. Have you ever felt the pull of a Ducati V4 flashed with an exhaust? I feel like I might be disappointed if I sell mine for one of these

[@Brookmanrider]

Not yet. It’s on my list to try soon

[@luckyoleary9626]

I haven't ridden a flashed V4, but standard vs standard, I find the BMW much stronger through the mid range.

[@luckyoleary9626]

Looking at the 2020 Fast Bike dyno graphs, the V4 is a bit softer on torque from 4-8krpm, but from 8krpm there's bugger all between them. That's only Aus/UK models though.

[@GG-17]

Is the front suspension on the 2021 S1000RR STANDARD model manual or electronically adjustable?

[@Brookmanrider]

On mine it’s electronic the sport model. The standard model it’s not

[@subayakambeyanda]

Aren’t there any exhaust restrictions in Australia?

[@Brookmanrider]

Yeah there is. I think

[@stylez521]

When you go through a couple bikes did you buy then trade it or was it like financing and then getting out of the contract. I'm wondering what method would be best if I changed a couple bikes like you

[@stylez521]

Awesome review though, really looking forward to the exhaust. Hopefully it won't make your ears bleed or make the cops fine you excessive noise.. Here in Qld loud exhausts are being fined recently

[@Brookmanrider]

Just trade and pay haha I didn’t finance anything.

[@Brookmanrider]

Hopefully will be ok

[@xwaf6159]

Does it stall doing 30 km/h at 3rd gear? Planning to buy one but live in a city that has a heavy traffic. Just sold My 2014 R1 for the stalling problem and overheating. Can you please help?

[@Brookmanrider]

Not at all. Never had a problem

[@xwaf6159]

@@Brookmanrider Nice Video BTW. Keep up the good work.

[@slightfimulator4888]

I own a 2020 S1000RR (which afaik is the same as the 2021 aside from colour selection) and ride in Sydney CBD and I have never done 30 kph in 3rd gear and would never intend to. You're either in 1st or 2nd in the city. There are two reasons that I can think of to change up to second: 1) It's much easier to shift from 2nd into neutral than 1st into neutral when you stop at lights 2) it's quieter (so less annoying to pedestrians).

[@xwaf6159]

@@slightfimulator4888 Alright. Though I thought 2020 had EU4 engine.
