Astonishing machine and love all of Chris' vids, especially when he drags tin tops. But, having previously owned an S1000RR and S1000R, I know how troublesome BMW sports bikes can be. I have little doubt that there'll be loads of people wanting to own one of these.

Great bike. I doubt many people would get over 12k rpms on the road, in which case you may as well buy the s1000r :)

[@MrAndrew1953]

A bit like KTM - there’s the mental road legal version, then the slightly less mental adventure and GT versions. Thing is if you’ve got the dish, it’s there which is quite remarkable. A manufacturer who says, you want it, we can build it. It would be a good idea to upgrade your riding skills at a track riding school first.

Are there any bigger performance difference in the real world between a Tuono V4 and M1000R? I don't think so, but would like to hear your opinion.

[@Fearless154]

I guess m1000r is pretty similar to StreetFighter v4 in terms of performance. If that's the case, I own a 2017 Tuono 1100 factory and a friend owns a 2020 Streetfighter v4, and the difference is noticeable; on the straights, it flies by like I'm standing still, and he is 5 kg heavier than me. In my opinion, the S1000R already has a much better chassis and electronics than the Tuono 1100; the issue was a kind of lackluster engine.

[@biker_marinator5696]

@@Fearless154 I own a Tuono v4 2022 and a friend owns a Panigale v4. When we race 80-250km/h, my Tuono is 3-4 bikes ahead up to 230, then he flys be like a rocket.

Wonderful bike, I have wanted one for years. However, whilst I can afford it I can't handle the vibration through the bars! Shame BMW haven't taken the issue of vibration / white finger seriously.

[@tubejorrit]

This bike looks good, handles even better, but the engine is " another" boring standard 4 in line. That's the main problem while the competition has supercharged, triple, v4 and mental 1300cc v-twin engines with much more character. A company like BMW that is famous for their heritage (6 in line engines) I expected something special for a halo bike.

@@tubejorrit I totally understand where you are coming from.... But I guess a "special" 6 cylinder would push the price even further. The "M" logo is not even a real M Developed, its just a badge.

@@tubejorrit haha these comments are hilarious..210hp is boring. I've owned am MT10 and a 1290SDR (and about 30 other bikes) and my current s1000R is a beast of a thing too. Its my favourite supernaked by far. Buy in fairness you probably don't ride hard enough or have the skills to extract the performance any of these bikes have to offer like I do, so those things interest you and give you a reason to buy and wobble about on with lovely big chicken strips

[@tubejorrit]

@@mbal4052 Numbers don't lie but 90% of the time riding on the streets I'm nowhere near redline even if I wanted to. So I like an engine that is also fun, has character and sounds good in the lower rpm's. and for ME a standard 4 in line is just not as fun as any another layout like a v4, v-twin etc.

[@brianpeterson9290]

Maybe you have to see it in person, but I’m really not a fan of that chopped-up M color way. It looks almost like the bike is camouflaged for on-road prototype testing, can barely tell what it looks like.

[@chrisnorthover7582]

Tricky one, SDR has a bit more punch and is generally a bit more playful, but not as easy or smooth.
