BMW S 1000 XR on an empty mountain road [RAW Onboard]

[@Schaaf]

Since some of you don't believe me when I say that my riding got quite a bit slower compared to my old self: Here's me doing the same road in 2016. Pegscraping through blind corners. I don't think I need to say more... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXnGXqVogbB1aKc

[@StromerYoutube]

Maybe it could be measured in footpegs per year on the CB500🤣

[@leviathan1195]

Manchmal muss es wehtun, das man gscheider werd ;-).

OK, I thought I remembered the open place on the right in front of the "shack" right before the top: from the F800R videos. Well, I was not completely mistaken, you did this R1200R "wideo" there apparently. Anyways, I calculated the total ride up for both R1200R and S1000XR: R1200R 08:19 -> 14:57 = 6:38 S1000XR 00:23 -> 07:16 = 6:53 Not that different some might say, but you have to account for the major traffic in 2016 video with R1200R. My 2 cents...

[@richmotion]

Mir gefällt die Evolution von 2016 bis jetzt sehr gut, auch wenn die mit Schmerzen erkauft wurde. Du fährst vielleicht ein bißchen langsamer, aber um Welten souveräner und sicherer. Deine Videos sind immer super cool zum Anschauen, Sound perfekt! Mir gefällt auch, dass Du Rücksicht nimmst auf Anrainer, Radfahrer... Top!

[@ezio235]

Less turbo but more Schaaf! Nice lines between the bends, nice throttle and brakes control! I appreciate more the new riding style!

[@CubanRider]

Best bike review you can find, all without saying a word.

[@CarletonJohnson]

Agreed

[@sidwykle3662]

@Cuban Rider ..I love watching your videos. When you’re riding the Dragon’s Tail, the way you work the quick shifter up and down the gears keeping that 1000xr in the high rpms, it screams like a mf from Tn to N.C..Sounds so good. And with that sound and the smoothness and rhythm you ride those curves, it is nothing but a motorcycle ballet...that is one of those loud and fast ballets. :)

[@mko7285]

Yours are fire too man, both of us keep up doing that, drive safe, drive efficiently 😉🌟👍

[@Schaaf]

thanks Cuban mate

[@superdukester9926]

Well, yes and no. There is a better review. But it is in german, so you won't understand.

[@tommy605]

When I'm looking for a new bike, I make sure it's something you haven't posted a video of yet. That way, I can pretend the bike I bought isn't capable of being ridden like that.

[@Schaaf]

Hahaha what a comment :D

[@AmpZoRr]

Durch jedes Video steigt meine Vorfreude bis zur Auslieferung meiner S1000XR! Danke für die leiwanden Videos

[@Schaaf]

Die Vorfreude ist gerechtfertigt ;)

[@st-rufus]

Empty Jaufenpass, it must have been real fun!

[@johnreynolds2055]

I’m jealous aha

[@capz3217]

Ha, now I know why it instantly looked familiar.

[@Schaaf]

+St Rufus it was amazing, absolutely amazing. I quickly realized that this indeed was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity :)

[@chris-tiano]

At least this part of the Jaufenpass is the one with acceptable (cause plenty of it newly made) road condition. The other one which would have come after u-turning... is painful as hell.

[@GTMarmot]

Even at this relaxed pace, it's still much more interesting to watch than the sort of bike review-riders we get here in the UK (sorry, I can't be PC about it - our reviewers simply suck, as they mostly just weaselled their way into a KZbin following). Your shifting and cornering is highly skilled, and it's obvious you're not even riding at 30% of your capacity. Fantastic camerawork.

[@Schaaf]

thanks a lot Marmot!

[@Fearless730]

When I grow up one day, will I be able to drive around the bends like you? By the way, I am 30 years old and I have a Diavel.

Welcome!

[@sidhantnichani2859]

Oh Boi BMW has really stepped up their game with the new models. This , The s1000rr, the r18 and more! I also like the reddish orange colour of the bike you're riding, will definitely make heads turn along with the sweet 4cyl exhaust!

[@Schaaf]

It sure does!

You may say your riding is slower Schaff but it’s actually just more refined 👍🏽 great content as always

Have to say just got back from a day out in the dolomiti, and there was little traffic, never find so litte (mind there was traffic, but not too much) so 120% enjoyment!

yes! This year is quite different for sure!

I love mountain roads, but man, I have 3 deer jump out in front of me in the last 18 months, so am super nervous now... Great riding btw!

[@Schaaf]

Oh crap!

[@gerhardkeuschnigg1145]

depends on where you ride - won´t happen that often in central europe - apparently you see some cows on the road, but they don´t "jump in"...

[@Hillclimbfan1990]

Great drive on a beautiful road. Despite knowing there is very little chance of oncoming traffic you drive within your limits and keep your lane. Good self restraint.

[@Schaaf]

thanks mate

[@diegocella6791]

A couple of years back i was going up Giovo and saw a lot of moped, and a lot of guy riding said moped were dressed 'funny' di a little check... and voilá Otzaler moped maraton! Soo cool!

Hey!!! Please more XR, this bike si amazing!!!. Congrates for your videos

[@Schaaf]

There'll be more for my 10 percenter members :)

[@iSVX1103]

Is there any difference in power delivery between the previous and new gen S1000XR?

[@Schaaf]

Yes, the old one feels a bit more powerful. But I don't know if that's actually the case. It FEELS more powerful but I don't know if the numbers actually prove this

[@Costumism]

I've ridden the S1000XR on the Jaufenpass as well with very less traffic some weeks ago. Unfortunatly this bike was so much fun that I had a cramp in my right hand ;) still no comparison to your speed :)

[@Schaaf]

Hahaha nice

[@Enrico-fb9ne]

The TC light turns on like in a Christmas tree. After watching this video I understand how TC really saves lives. :D

[@Schaaf]

It's the shift light lol

[@Enrico-fb9ne]

@@Schaaf lol, I'm talking about the one on the lower right of the dash, not the one on top :)

[@gerhardkeuschnigg1145]

the Jaufenpaß is about 1 hour away form my residence, so i know it quite well - you critiziced the missing torque out of narrow turns during anothher vidoe - this time it doesn´t seem to be a problem....

[@Schaaf]

yea like I said in that video it is only a problem on super narrow roads like the Stelvio. In real life you almost never encounter roads like that and that's why I absolutely love the XR

[@taouinche]

Must have been a fun ride 👍 Thank you Schaff

[@Schaaf]

It was!

[@Scouse.Malinois]

I think for anyway devating on if to buy a GS or one of these. It all depends on how much you're happy changing gear i guess😂

[@Schaaf]

That's true

[@pgVeritas]

Incredible riding. You have convinced me to buy the XR instead of the GS.

[@Schaaf]

Good choice!

[@pierremb67]

One car, one bicycle. Lucky boy !

[@Schaaf]

:)

[@nanciepelosie8255]

This is probably a dumb question. I ride a Harley street bob and I can down shift with blipping pretty smooth to a degree but if I dropped that many gears that’s quick my rear would lock. Is this purely because your bike is racing tuned?

[@Schaaf]

No it's because it has a slipper clutch and on top of that automatic engine brake control installed

[@DakarBlues]

It’s the first time I take interest in anything other than Teutonic V-twin, boy, it sings! Sounds like a carbureted Ferrari GTO.
