2022 BMW S1000R | The Most Well Rounded Naked Bike Available

Rewatching all your S1000R videos 😍

[@jmacknet2]

I like to say the S1000R has "no sharp edges". Kind of funny that you use a similar description of a "perfect sphere". It's so refined, the quickshifter is flawless, the active suspension works great, the tech amenities are really useful, and it will even find neutral (gasp). Keep the revs low and it's quiet and docile, but in the upper register it will howl and rip your arms off. And in the real world, it's just as quick or quicker than it's rivals, because BMW under-advertises crank HP, and everything else is power limited at road speeds by either ECU maps or traction control.

🔝

[@stewy62]

That was fast, overtaking one rider on the inside and the next rider on the outside all on the same corner !! 🇬🇧🏍

[@CaliMotoTV]

Comin through!

[@oneonlyxram]

s1000r the wildly adequate bike...this bike is like being perfectly middle class, you have a good job that pays decent, you have that ok 3 bed 2 bathroom house with a nice little yard and pool, 2 dogs and a just lovely wife that makes you feel happy...Absolutely nothing wrong with that life, but you don't want to do anymore than you have to, to maintain it and you never understand why people want more out of life...That is what the s1000r is to me, it is perfectly fine.😉

[@CaliMotoTV]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Lmao

[@johnridesadv2512]

Great video. Superb sound and video quality. Your setup is top notch. It appears that this new BMW might be pushing the Streetfighter aside as favorite bike in the garage?

[@CaliMotoTV]

We love em both equally! Thanks for watching 🙏

[@cecilwilson5442]

I don't have much money for the latest version of most manufacturers stuff,, so I had to resort to buying a 2006 gsxr 1000 and fitting a top yoke conversion and low rise mx bars no bodywork modding,, bike has 8400 miles wheelies brilliant,, love seeing the videos coming from you because they have no bullshit,, and are varied ☘️☘️☘️☘️from Northern Ireland keep em litt bill 👌👌👌

[@CaliMotoTV]

Nice! Nothing wrong with a gsxr 1000. Brilliant bike 🔥

[@ryanGnVtown]

Was going to get a Super duke but none available near me right so I'm Going to trade my 17 s1kr for a 2022 sport. Does the exhaust and Tune void your warranty? Maybe I'll see ya on the streets in V.C

[@CaliMotoTV]

Anything you do can be used against you in terms of warranty. Some dealers care, some not.

[@davetrueman2240]

What Rider Sag are you using after Dave Moss helped with setup. Manual oddly recommends 50mm front and 40mm back. Seems too much from looking at other bikes.

[@CaliMotoTV]

Not sure sorry we didn't pay attention.

[@lewlew113]

nice ride! do u find any vibration from the handle bar?

[@CaliMotoTV]

Yes, but it's not terrible.

[@Viveros26]

Nice bike, whats your mic setup? It sounds so good!

[@CaliMotoTV]

We use a zoom sound recorder and the mic it came with.

[@ricardopereira597]

Great video, don’t you miss a windshield?

[@CaliMotoTV]

Occasionally.

[@DypvikZ]

@Cali Moto TV. Great video! If you could choose freely from this bikes, wich one would you pick? Superduke 1290R, BMW S1000R or the Ducati Streetfighter V2. All 2022 models.

[@CaliMotoTV]

Solely depends on the purpose

[@Thelnferno]

When will you go back and get an "after" dyno on the S1000R?

[@CaliMotoTV]

Not sure having trouble lining that up.

[@MILLZ254]

I'm stuck between the Tuono and S1000r, which do you consider to be better?

[@ur2slob724]

Rode both Inc the street fighter, Superduke and mt10 sp.. I now own a zh2 😂

[@CaliMotoTV]

S1000r

[@MILLZ254]

@@ur2slob724 That’s hilarious, I’ve been 👁 the z-h2 also!

[@kevinmill7965]

So how many ponies u end up with on the panzer

[@CaliMotoTV]

Not sure yet.

[@vr46nh69bs11]

Is there a way to check lap times after you get off track without having it in front of you while you ride? I haven’t got a lap timer yet as I’m not sure where to mount it cause I really don’t want that to be a distraction while riding on the track.

[@CaliMotoTV]

You can tape off the section with painters tape? 🤔 And yea should be able to check the times in the menu.

[@jeffh278]

Man it sounds good with the Leo Vinci

[@CaliMotoTV]

Suuuuuure does 😎

[@motovalor5209]

Interesting when I was purchasing my K67 I saw your video and it made sense due to recall etc.. but your biggest issue with that bike was the restrictions at 6k rpm which is still there. I reckon you said you don’t want to do a flash and ruin the warranty on that lines.. so what has changed? Either way I’m excited for that bike build series.

[@Ken_Myette]

I have the same bike. My dealer told me I can mod all I want and it won't void warranty

[@CaliMotoTV]

When the 2020 s1000rr first came out, it had a ton of issues and stop sales. We didn't want to mod such a new model bike that had a ton of issues. Everything you do to your bike can be used against you. A dealer can choose to look the other way, or not.

[@ANDREW-ct6hc]

I have had 2 S1000Rs. It is a great, refined bike but it is a bit boring compared to the Streetfighter V4. The Streetfighter is relentless. I appreciate both for what they are. It just comes down to choice. Right now, the Streetfighter V4 is the bike for me. I think Bill hit it on the head with his review.

[@CaliMotoTV]

Absolutely agreed.

[@AmenCornerRider]

Great riding, amazing bike. Thanks

[@CaliMotoTV]

Thanks for riding along!

[@AmenCornerRider]

@@CaliMotoTV I ordered the arrow headers. Going to try it with the stock exhaust.

[@jcsdesign]

Curious to know why you didn't get the M sport trim? You spend a lot of time on the track that it would be a no brainer that M sport is the only way.

[@CaliMotoTV]

There's not enough on the M sport to justify the money.

[@jcsdesign]

@@CaliMotoTVFair enough. Not many people are as rational as you. So you think the 'S' trim is worth the upgrade on the Streetfighter?

[@rsv4pilot114]

Fantastic ride. Love it. Bike is amazing. Now I want to go buy that bike. But damn that bike is expensive, at least for me.

[@CaliMotoTV]

Good to have goals! One day 🔥 we never thought any of this would be possible.

[@lungtamik]

You should try the new Speed Triple RS 1200 ! ;-)

[@CaliMotoTV]

You buying? 😂

[@lungtamik]

@@CaliMotoTV already done ! ;-)

[@tek4399]

thanks

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@greyanaroth]

Lack of suspension adjustability will always be a massive black flag for this bike. I mean, why not implement the RR race modes? Why?

[@jerichom11x]

You don't need it. There's preload adjustment for individual weights, the rest is done by the computer. Road mode for cruising, dynamic for smooth twisities. 2 up mode for track. It's only a "black flag" if you don't understand it. It's literally better than the RR If you still don't want DDC then buy the base model which comes with standard suspension.

[@greyanaroth]

@@jerichom11x If I were to get this bike, it would be the base model + customised extras/packs. For me, the suspension is definitely not better than the RR. On that, you can go in and setup individual compression/rebound settings on the rear and dial in the front damping to your taste. This is over and above the road and dynamic active presets. Now, this only comes into play IF the factory dynamic setup isn't good enough for you, and judging by bill thrashing this bike about, there's always the argument of whether you really need it, especially on the road. But I'm a tweak head, and spent a lot of time and effort to learn how to tune suspension properly to my taste. And it just doesn't sit well with me, on a philosophical level, of bmw introducing a forced handicap when, really, all it would take is a software upgrade to expose the fixed settings if you happen to prefer a more predictable suspension setup. To each their own. :) Compare this to what ducati implemented with the Öhlins. BMW can totally do the same but they choose not to for the sake of simplicity, and in many respects, a lot of customers will appreciate the power up and just ride nature of the bike. But I'm not that customer. :)

[@truckrodhoodlum]

SF unmanageable! not!

[@CaliMotoTV]

Not nearly as manageable as the s1000r.
