The fact they’ve removed its hard luggage capabilities stops it being the ultimate do everything motorcycle! Just buy the top of the range S1000XR🤷🏻‍♂️Plenty quick enough, does everything you want from a bike and probably more.

[@LonelyTreeSunset]

It lacks the grunt that the M has.

[@mrgrey9584]

@@LonelyTreeSunsetif you wanted grunt you wouldn’t buy a inline 4

[@RiumEqua]

Feel exactly the same. I wonder what the reasoning was. Was looking forward to replace my SXR with a MXR, but no propper luggage is a nono for me. I love taking my XR to the track, but i also love traveling multiple thousands of kilometers - with luggage of course.

[@jonasbaine3538]

if you put the s1000xr subframe on the M you can now have a topcase. its worth the 30+hp gain...

[@t3h8ar0n]

​@@RiumEquaYou can just add the XR hardware back in... it's not hard to do... then you can put your boxes on.

[@johnsteel4719]

I have an S1000XR and took an M1000XR competition version out on a BMW trial day at Vines and it felt smaller, lighter and of course, faster. Although the S1000XR in dynamic pro mode is also quick but all the safety nets are off so a bit scary on our country roads with the odd bit of gravel of tractor mud lurking around the next corner. If the M1000XR was cheaper and had hard luggage I’d be very tempted but at 28k, I’d be worried to leave it anywhere.. I have an idea, BMW need to add hard luggage that has a sensor in the luggage clips brackets that sets the power map at 150bhp when luggage is attached. That way you’d have the best of both worlds. Just a thought

[@jonasbaine3538]

just swap the SXR subframe to the M and use topcase with 200+hp :)

Same for me the Multi Strava PP disappointed me too, I was almost ready to order one. Then came the M1000XR, I ordered last November and got the bike early April… it’s addicting and as you say one can feel exactly what that front wheel is doing, corners are so easy now. And the power is crazy, more than I can use anyway. Cheers.

Rode the M xr this week…. Stunning engine and handling , comfort too. Best bike I’ve ridden despite noisy gear whine and vibes. What a weapon. Cancel the kid’s college fund and do it…. Don’t tell the wife. YOLO.

[@mimounazdad9195]

I work at a bmw dealer in the Netherlands, if you are really interested in buying an M1000XR, we could change out the fairings from a white one to black without the carbon. So we end up with a white bike with carbon parts. The only downside is that you have to pay for the work to change out the fairings. Maybe if you visit some bmw dealers and maybe ask if there is a possibility they can do it for you. Otherwise I would be happy to help you achieve your dream bike 😊

[@Ronburgundy75]

You’ve hit the nail on the head re the lack of Ohlins & Brembos Chopsy. This bike, although epic looking, won’t tempt me off my V4 Pikes Peak with full race system. I’d struggle to choose this over an RS, which, yes, is more expensive, but once you’re up to £28k, what’s another 3 or 4! plus, I wouldn’t turn back and look at the MXR like I do my Ducati.

[@aussie7235]

I did a 90 min test ride myself the other day and sold already two of my current bikes and placed the order for this fantastic machine. Should have it in 4 weeks as no dealer had one available anymore. I said to a mate after the test ride “this bike only needs two gears, the first one to start and you do all the rest with 6. gear really incredible!!!”

Nissin (Nishin) are great calipers from my experience with them, and as you say they perform great, you don't have to have Brembo's for good braking.

[@jdman7170]

I'm spooked about buying an XR after owning the original. It just wasn't engaging for my liking. Id have to ride the M for a few days to make sure I like it to spend that kind of scratch. I agree, the black looks awesome!

[@wasps2000]

How does it compare to the kawasaki H2SX? You could argue they are different classes but in reality they are closer than ever. Similar power, price, lots of gadgets etc, sporty touring. Would love to see a comparison or the two!

[@MiamiJato]

you can mnake the H2 way more powerful and faster for sure, except comfort......

[@SolivG]

you're spoiling us Chopsy with these M bike reviews!. 27K though! I'm with you. I think the Comp should have been priced at around 23k/24K with the 'standard' M at say 21K. And no offence BMW for 27 k I want Brembo and Ohlins onboard! Pikes Peak might be heavier but it looks more premium to my eyes!

[@gmc677]

[@escanor9920]

I could afford this bike, but it would be a hard bill to swallow though at 27000£ (32 000€). Yet the price is not justified and I would never buy it because of 2 major problems: 1/ There is almost no torque or power at the bottom end of the revs (and i'm too old to have to go reach for the power on the high revs anymore) 2/ The equipment is till not "up to par" at this price range No brembo stylema and the fork is not even an Ohlins which is a lethal mistake at this level of price... I really think that the best bang for the buck on the market right now is the Triumph Speed Tripple 1200RS with brembo stylema and semi active Ohlins back and front @ 18495€ and at that price the carbon front mud guard is already included ! Props to Triumph ! (Do you really think that this bike's worth putting 13 500€ more than the price of the 1200 RS !? absolutely NOT)

[@jockojockoson9995]

The RS doesn’t have semi active ohlins. The RR does

[@flatcapcaferacer]

I think relating how you fit on the bike and tell us your height and weight which is helpful. However, for instance telling us the distance from the foot pegs to the seat would be more helpful because most of us know how much room for our knees.

[@MH-xd2nd]

No problems with vibes on the gen 2 SXR, and if you are sensitive Evotech weighted bar ends remove any remaining vibes. And I’ve owned both generations - the gen 1 went after a few months because I couldn’t stand the vibes. The M is in a higher state of tune so it sounds like it brings the buzz back - another reason why I’m not interested.

[@siontwowheels]

It’s a hell off a bike isn’t it Chopsy! 😎 Does almost anything/everything with ease! 👍 Power is incredible, brakes are amazing, but it was the seat comfort that surprised me compared to the previous S1000XR!… Great video/review as always! 👍👍

[@LambChopRides]

[@timmythetank]

Love the MXR but hold judgment until you try the RS. Few inaccurate comments regarding the RS-it's not 250kg it's 225kg and knock even more off with the sport exhaust. Also it's not a limited edition, the bikes are numbered editions but not limited. Add to that hard luggage, adaptive cruise, BSD, ohlins and brembo bling plus to top it off that beautiful v4 induction sound allied to the dry clutch and the RS takes the win for me, hope you get to try one soon for comparison 👍

Coming down from the 170bhp BMW K1200s to the ‘only 125bhp’ R1200RS I seriously considered buying a 1000XR but I’m lazy and decided keeping the shaft drive was more important in the real world than huge power ( it’s not as if the RS is a slow bike 😂😂😂) so I wonder how long it will be before BMW make a new model and a shaft drive XR ??

You basically summed up the Pikes Peak to how I felt about it once I owned one; built it up massively in my mind but once in my possession, came away massively underwhelmed, was like a fast GS. My M1000R Competition I absolutely love to pieces but again not massively comfortable for distance, bought a 1300GS to cover this aspect but still an acquired, almost industrial feeling to whole experience like the PP. Both of these are being collected on Tuesday and being replaced with the XR Competition which I hope is going to give me what I love about the single R but with distance comfort when required. Just my thoughts aside but another riveting review as usual!

Brembo doesn't mean "excellent brakes", though...

[@Reivbv]

I love the MXR but the price point is absolute insanity. I agree with what you said, for 27k it should be dripping with the top shelf brands like Brembo and Ohlins. The S1000XR would be a better choice for a daily rider and for touring. You could just set aside the money you saved for an R1 or another sport bike with 200bhp that is actually made for track. 😢 20K and I would be all over the MXR. It’s quite literally the S1000rr engine in the S1000XR chassis. Why the massive premium?

[@windyrun7979]

One thing I've read is the M bike does not support use of factory luggage - so not sure it's the best for touring. S1000XR accepts luggage. You can put soft after market bags on the M bike but that's not the same.

[@matthewclark6147]

Great review, an amazing bike! I always struggle with all-rounders though - the lack of hard luggage and no top box is a big disadvantage for touring vs S1000XR, Multistrada V4/Pikes Peak or even GS1300. Equally, as fantastic as this bike is, surely any track rider would choose a S1000RR/M1000RR or M1000R. I agree too that £27k is a lot of bike to risk on track. It’s great though that BMW has made this halo bike!

[@Jacko1980]

How does it handle compared to the m1000r ?

[@Dazza2910]

Got my MXR (non Competition one) back in April. Loving it. Didn't fancy carbon wheels on our dodgy roads and the rest is just bling. The extra £5.5k was just madness, so happy to not pay that!! Quite happy with the white one, other than that, agree with pretty much everything. Shame about the luggage but I can live with that. Sure they could easily have had a switch fitted so if hard luggage was fitted the top speed was restricted. Kreiga soft luggage will do. I've got the low M seat and it's even more locked in than the standard height. Great bike though, I grin like an idiot every time I ride it!! Did you used to ride a lot of 2-strokes as you keep hovering over the clutch lever!! 😛

Inside my Pikes Peak to the BMW dealer to see both the new XRs and the GS. I was surprised that the S 1000XR was much heavier to tip off the side stand than my PP. Plus the S1000XR looked unremarkable and rather homogenized. But it is priced relatively cheap ($21,xxx) compared to my PP which was $30,000 list when I bought it. They had a M1000XR on a service stand I could look at through a window (cmon-I can’t go in and take a peek with adult supervision?). That’s got the look but no luggage kills it. Plus it seems the suspension is really stiff fur your duty. So I was happy to just grab a tank bag and ride the PP away. I will add you nearly must get these modern bikes derestricted by after market as that really brought the PP motor to more with much better punch and response. I’ll wait further the Superduke GT, which I came off of to grab the PP.

[@marijnkramer6897]

luggage is no problem. the one of the normal XR does fit if you a bit handy with tools. people already did it ;P

[@djefferson02]

The main issue with this is the price like Mr Chops said. Some pretty nice cars for 27k

[@PNH63]

You can’t compare this to cars 😂

[@benkelly2190]

Car, bike! Pointless comparison..

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

I agree djefferson. At £27k I would rather stick with my ZZR1400 and buy a used Bentley. I fail to believe this bike is £20k better than my ZZR

Thank god you said 'a little bit sterile, uninspiring and clinical", I nearly spent 30k🤣 The Mandello still tops my list.

[@willraven7]

Chops, Would u still pick this over say the new RT1300 for a long range bike?? That police bike is super comfy

[@nickcutler7759]

For a true allrounder Down here in OZ , sooner or later the road will turn to dirt and you’ll need some slight off road rubber and not have to worry about getting your £27K Scratched! Maybe a bagger with some Enduro Tyres 🤠

But KTM has crappy warranty coverage. Only the crank case, “frame” and swing arm. NOTHING ELSE COVERED. That’s why I don’t believe I would ever by that brand, even if half price. If KTM cannot trust the reliability of their product and design, why should one buy it?

Thought you'd like it Chopsy ! The M package is the best looking bike in this segment ❤....but 27k 😮

[@Budget-Cars-And-Bikes]

It reminds me of the K1200R And the K1300R BMW from a few Years ago?

[@petervautmans199]

txs for the review. For me the XR is the bike with the highest smiles per mile ratio. The lack of hard luggage sadly makes the M-version not fit for my purpose. I got a very late 2019 XR , bought the last showroom example (full option TE, triple black) in feb 2020 for ±15k pounds and now almost have 100k kms on the clock. It was my first bike and I just can't let it go. And i can not justify spending 27k on a bike that has little more to offer on public roads.

[@King_Harrold]

How's the reliability been? Torn between XR and a Yamaha MT10 for Japanese reliability

[@petervautmans199]

@@King_Harrold at the start I had starting problems twice, when the bike refused to make a start after being parked for an hour after a long ride. Problem was a vapour lock in the fuel system, resolve by exchanging the fuelpump under warranty. Ever since it rides flawless. I use it to commute so that is year round all weather use. In winter-wet te chain needs some attention, also because our roads are spayed with salt against frost. It is a great bike to lane filter, as it is extremely agile yet with a high stance so excellent view. Also the quickshifter is massive.

I got to Demo its little brother the regular XR . Way more bike than I felt comfortable on. And I ride a KTM Gen1 SDR. Could be the way the inline 4 revs. up. The M must ballistic in performance.

[@dstev55]

Did anyone see Chopsy take the bike above 10k rpm? And that's exactly why the S1000XR is enough for our roads.

[@LambChopRides]

I did of course but not something you can show on YT! But I agree I'm sure the standard XR is really more than enough power, but it's the extra feel not just power you get on this one

[@dstev55]

@@LambChopRides yeah I get that 👍🏻 My advice is if you want feel then stick to a Gen 1 XR as that's as raw as it gets for not too much money

£22,580!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JESUS. LOL 27k competition. My 98 ZX-9R does 60 in 3 seconds, 175mph top end, full titanium exhaust, all magnesium engine covers, ive had the brakes rebuilt and done a service....its seriously fast , dont waste your money.

[@michaelhart5886]

Love the 98/99 zx9r. Brilliant things even today

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

Great comment Gaz. I owned a ZX-9R (E1) and it still holds a place in my heart. Supremely comfortable, stupidly fast, and available for a fraction of the cost of this overpriced 'M' bike. Best of all you can buy yourself a decent Bentley Continental GT with the change.

[@fredensminde]

Looking to replace my 2022 KTM SAS with either a 1300GS or 1000XR ( normal version ). This video makes the decision even harder🙂 Thanks for your effort, Chops. I always enjoy your videos. Especially the shootout videos with Greg.

Thanks for the review....Not much to dislike other than price &/or insurance prices. Would want to check rider fit & bar vibes in person though.

I like the small storage unit at the front of the tank.

The XR is a great bike. I used to own one. You need to try the MultiStrada RS.

[@victorgonza4528]

Good looking machine in the black trim, that cat underneath always looks bad .

[@mattmutane5502]

Good video Chops, thanks! :) A couple of things though... like you say, it's WAY too much money (as is the non-Comp, as is the standard XR, IMO!!). Also, I'm not sure ANY bike at 220+ kgs can be described as one being "good at everything", especially for the track, it's just TOO heavy IMHO!!!! Also, I suspect it's not the best "road" bike, with the inline straight four and the power being all up the top. The seat is also, IMO, STILL an issue, I don't know why they insist on making something so uncomfortable - I suspect you REALLY wouldn't be able to do big miles, day after day on this, so wouldn't tour very well... (Shaun (TLR) was PROPERLY broken last year on his NC500 tour due to the seat on the 2022 model and actually started to ruin his trip!!!). For me, the MT10 RULES in all categories, and really could be the unicorn all-rounder that can do everything, especially with a couple of suspension tweaks.. (like, surprise, surprise, how mine has been setup ;) :D ). For the price, you could even have an MT10 AND a track bike/or off-road bike combo (or whichever combo of 2 bikes you'd like to have, TBH!!). Its got the torque for the road, enough power to make it decent on road and track, handles well (road and track), tours well (is super comfortable (especially with the Comfort seat)), is relatively cheap... TBH, I don't know what BMW are playing at with their prices, and direction of many of their new bikes...

[@cmaz8547]

Sounds like a great track bike. If you want panniers and the wife on the back for touring the Mx comes up short. My pikes peak weighs 224 kg with exhaust ,lithium battery,and some carbon fibre. Sure would like to have an MX in the stable though………..cheers!

Enjoyed the video, really nice looking bike, however as you mentioned its quite a jump in price for the M version. I do like the BMW motorcycles, looking at getting the S1000RR, any thoughts on the 2023/2024 model? What would your recommended additions be to be added to the stock model? Value your opinion.

[@philipschofield7105]

You do know a set of carbon fiber wheels are like $5k. Here in canada that's a bit of a steal.
