Absolutely correct! as I’ve probably mentioned too many times on this thread!! I have a 1st gen Diavel with hard bags and a 22 panigale v4s, if there’s a gun to my head and I could ONLY have one SUPERbike the S100ORR would most likely be my choice!! Because it handles so well@ low speed, and everywhere else!! my V4s wasn’t as bad as my R1 I had, but I wouldn’t have the V4S as my only bike!! Haveing Two or more bikes Is the best option!! But really if you haveing only one bike maybe get a street fighter or the s-1000s really

you know what's weird? I still get giddy when I look at my little cb300r.... It's currently in storage and I had to shift it around a bit in the garage that family let me stash it in (their idea was pretty bad and they only realized it half-way through winter so it had to move) and pulling the cover off, pivoting it on it's kick-stand to jimmy it in place... I was still giddy and happy knowing it's my bike.

[@JESUSISCALLINGYOU7]

A bike is a bike regardless of condition or price. If it makes you feel good things, it's as good of a bike as any other. 😊 I have a '22 Hayabusa and an '06 ZX-10R, and I've been wanting a Honda Grom for while now and a 400cc sporty bike. I know I'd look back as I walk away and feel good about them as with my faster bikes.

I have a 2018 s1000rr, most of the time when I take her out I put down big miles, 8 hour rides when I can. I love it, so comfortable on it. I like to think it's a civilised demon, nice at low revs but a monster at high revs

[@nesta8273]

In summertime i do my grocery shopping on the bike. I bring a hockeytruck (or smaller) and place items vertically in it, heavy items bottom and stacking before placing on my back. Not a long ride. Just walking is like 12 min there.

[@2854Navman]

I'm a cruiser guy (as if you couldn't guess) but that looks like a damn sweet bike!

[@Ph4sh4]

I daily the s1000rr for some after work throttle therapy and take it for longer weekend rides. For all day riding the SW Motech PRO Sport tank bag is great. For a 2-3 day trip I use the PRO Blaze saddlebag set. A little pricey, but worth every penny (no, I’m not sponsored). So far my back and I are still good friends, too. Love that bike!❤🏍️

[@mentlegentlemen7409]

BMW S1K is a great daily, I had a 3rd Gen. rode it to work often, put 10k miles on it within a year. Just gets a little hot

When i lived in Hawaii i used to drive my 12 S1K arround the island and it would take me about 5 hours or so depending. It was super comfortable. For a speot bike. Now I'm in Florida trying to find some twisties. And its only got 11k on the odometer. Been thinking on swaping to a 24.

[@KS-hw9zr]

I had a 2009 Yamaha R1 as my only vehicle in Oregon for a year, can be worse then that.

[@aao331]

For luggage I use a small tank bag for mine, and BMW sells you a big tail bag for touring. Yes, straight from BMW, I have it and it doesn't make it a GS, but can perfectly tour on it. And if you back hurts, you are not going fast enough.

[@Draecko]

I've been riding a sports bicycle ever since high school, a race bike feels right at home for me. I can go all day on these without back pain or anyhting, so it all comes down to what you're used to and willing to adapt to. I've ridden tourers and sports tourers but they all feel like my mom's bicycle, too sluggish to my taste.

[@harrisonswincer1862]

I am currently looking at getting a 2012 S1000RR for my next bike. Do you think that bike would have similar characteristics as the latest model minus the cruise control to make it a daily motorbike?

[@markettradinggenius]

Hell, you can daily ride a 2023 ducati V4R because it's definately comfortable enough to do it; although not as comfortable as a s1000rr

[@fireice1997]

I would like to see you get an XR M package. I think it would be interesting enough!

[@michaelmike2925]

I don’t know what you mean exactly by daily use ! I mean as a transport method yes maybe , but what about the expensive parts that the bike has? Would you risk park your bike anywhere in the streets and people come and touch and sit on it or maybe kids approach to to the bike and play with it ? The problem of the s1000rr is that it’s too expensive which make it hard to use as daily bike. Don’t you agree with me?

[@koenigseggdubstep9837]

I daily my R7, had no problems with it. I dunno if you need 200hp on the daily though

[@Try2KeepUpK]

12:00 FYI there's a tracker in the bmw app

[@Ph4sh4]

You sure? I always thought that was only the last known location so you can find back to your bike in a city or so. I don’t think it actively sends its location, so if someone steals it, you wouldn’t know where it went. Maybe I’m wrong…

[@ernestolizarraga41]

Does Yammie not have the store anymore with riding equipment???

[@dondrap513]

Uh, wat? The few articles I can even find say they're using the r1250rt which is not at all uncommon as a police bike. It's hardly a variant of the s1000 and not even close to the performance, especially when loaded down with the many pounds of gear they carry. You could outrun one on almost anything.

[@phil4986]

@@dondrap513 It's sporty BMW motorcycle - not a Harley Davidson lead sled. I doubt you could get away from one on any bike but then again, I'm not going to try. It's just great to see the cops get a bike that wasn't designed in the 1930's.

I live in Northern Virginia, but I'm a native hawaiian(lived on Oahu my whole life), but now live here in Virginia and I sure wish Virginia was smart enough(socially and politically) to allow lane filtering.

Today you can set with your fingi a 100 diferent bs and feel safe doing too much speed, because it tell's you you can, instead your feel.

One of the funnest things is to take it to my uni and seeing peoples reactions. You feel so badass and like the Main Character. (i'm an attention whore)

I really hope Yammie sees this comment because I'm in a situation right now. The S1000RR or the Speed Triple 1200RR? He seems to love both but I'm guessing the 1200RR slightly edges it out. I'll await his answer. Wish I could have both lol.

[@langhamp8912]

I wouldn't daily ride a BMW S1000RR due to insurance rates; careful riders who commute are essentially subsidizing crash-happy riders. Of course, that's the purpose of insurance, but it seems to me that the very high insurance rates on BWM's S1000's is doing exactly what free markets want you to do...avoid vehicles that are expensive to buy and dangerous to own. While I love sportbikes, I don't want to be associated with your typical sportbike rider who buys an S1000...a person who decats their bike into something really loud (that's tells you a lot about how antisocial the rider is), re-chips their bike (because screw emissions and 200 hp isn't enough), and crashes a lot (hence the very high insurance rates). While not all S1000 owners are this way, enough owners are indeed this way as to result in insurance companies assessing these riders as a "very high risk".

[@jvillain9946]

Quoted $86/mth for full coverage, comprehensive, collision, theft, uninsured, underinsured, bodily injury, and gap. So not that bad.

[@langhamp8912]

@@jvillain9946 I'm a 52 year old rider with no tickets in 30 years, 815 credit score, no crashes since 1993, and with most bikes my insurance is between $250 to $450 per year through Progressive for bikes like the XSR900, F900, Suzuki GSX8S, GSXS1000, for full coverage including all that you've listed. I do use fairly high coverage limits, something like 50K medical coverage and 100K/200K limits. However, with the S1000RR, full coverage with the same is about $1500 to $1800, and it's slightly lower for GSXR1000's and Kawasaki ZX6R. Is that unaffordable? Kinda, but not necessarily from a money view point. Rather, the insurance company that I use is, I believe, very good at assessing risk, and they've essentially told me that if I buy an S1000RR I will triple my chances of crashing. That's a huge amount. Maybe 50% I'd be ok with ie buy an MT-10 instead of an XSR900, but triple the risk?

[@edep3970]

I pay 114$ a month full coverage and have only had my m class license for less than a year when I got it. I pay more on my 20 year old truck

[@TheDudeAbides.]

Yep… $1100 a year, full coverage. My Grand Cherokee is triple.

Why would you buy a s1k vs xr to daily ride? Can you? sure you can daily ride anything if you don’t have any option. That being said s1k is one of the best dailies if you only want to ride a superbike, they make luggage for it and you can just run roads 6 tires.

[@thescientist8516]

It's for protection not for racing. The reason why motorcycle racers where them is because they provide the most protection out of anything. I wear full leathers and boots every single ride because if i go down at least I'm prepared.
