2019 BMW S 1000 RR | All You Need to Know

[@MiGAngeI]

I love that subtle dig "when BMW says 207 you get 207."

[@exothermal.sprocket]

And less torque every time the HP increases. I understand all the racing regulations and CC classes, but it would be nice to actually keep or increase torque, while the HP goes up. Broadening torque is what was badly needed on this bike, so that's a plus.

[@DarwinAllen]

Where have you seen that? I've had my 899 and V4 baseline dynod before mods and both were very well in line with the factory numbers. German brands tend to be a bit conservative with numbers so I'd imagine this bike is over the claimed 209. My last three cars 2 Audis and a BMW all dynod higher than advertised. (all numbers corrected for crank hp and the type of dyno factored in, obviously)

[@Okipouros]

Well, Ducati is owned by VW, so they might have learned something

[@conorenglish230]

Imagine dedicating years of your life to one honerable job, with a tangible output of work. Imagine the satisfaction of feeling like an invaluable piece of the machine you have made. Imagine making a relevant, invigorating product, for the whole world to enjoy. Rarer each passing day. I toast in thanks, to that German man's love of his job.

[@SquidMissile1]

Imagine a boot banana entering your botty

[@disekjoumoer]

He's Swiss. But, amazingly, he has a great sense of humour.

[@conorenglish230]

No shit, pardon my ignorance

[@jrh5544]

Conor English and still can’t afford the new s1000rr

[@rockafella1690]

I work at Greggs.

[@BaronVonGrumble]

I have a Dog.

[@Sambo46]

What sort of dog?

[@descartesthe4ourth605]

Sam Lloyd whatever kind gets you into his basement quickest

[@MOTOUK1]

No way to talk about Al

[@hondaracing4669]

But does you dog have a 2019 BMW s1000rr M edition?

[@brettgoodwin6052]

Beans, on cheese, on toast tonight, with brown sauce

[@killakam368]

Needs more boot banana

[@duckseverywhere8119]

jah! boot bahnah nah!

[@Doorito_]

ZEEE BEWT BANANA

[@rezalaluyan4410]

Finally someone who ask the right questions for the review

[@simppe75]

I love the way he says "absolutely"!

[@BaronVonGrumble]

Absolutely!

[@Actionlutz]

Exactly

[@chrisneedham5803]

And the way he says 'wizzability'

[@GlockWan]

Nice chap, you can tell he knows these bikes from top to bottom. Wasn't sure when this was leaked but it's growing on me. That old sharky S1000RR will always be special though

[@LambChopRides]

Does look much better in the flesh, had a good poke at it yesterday 👉

[@JOA-S]

Can we expect a video? :D

[@martynjohns7898]

couldn't get near it yesterday :( was blown away by how much attention this was getting! was expecting the Italians and their wings to be getting the love. Will just have to buy one :)

[@sprocket-YT]

I actually thought it looked cheap

[@clayman1980]

I'm going to see it in the flesh (or rather metal) at Motosalon on Friday. Can't wait.

[@snakerb]

Don’t care what anyone says, I prefer the looks of this headlights over the previous one.

[@snoogboonin]

BMW is setting the bar higher with every generation of S1000RR

[@Big1_]

@Nanderlizer Nanderlizer i love those comments like your "is a bit lacking compared with other bikes" Yeah, why dont you start saying which bikes is the bmw lacking?? This bike is perfect, and far better than Ninja´s which dont have LED lights and TFT screen and grip heaters...

[@DarwinAllen]

I hate to break it to you but LED lights and grip heaters can be added to any bike for pennies. The TFT screen makes zero difference to the performance of the bike. I agree this bike looks like a sweet machine (even though I think it's subjectively ugly), but it's not the lights or the grip heaters that make it awesome. You can get all those features on a fucking scooter 😂

[@Big1_]

@@DarwinAllen You CANT install LEDS in a ninja, you CANT install a TFT screen in a NINJA which leads all the functions of the bike.. And you CANT lower the price of a Ninja to less than 19.000 euros. And im not talking about performance because its obvious (at least for everybody normal and rational ) that BMW is superior on performance than a Ninja.

[@DarwinAllen]

@@Big1_ calm down, you can put LED bulbs or even full aftermarket assemblies in almost any common bike. And no kidding this bike is better than a Ninja - that's not setting the bar very high, but the headlights and gauge cluster are not the defining reasons why. You don't sound like someone that does much actual riding.

[@Big1_]

@@DarwinAllen dude, why you are saying that? im riding since i was 9 years old and i had 6 bikes.... idk how you can pronosticate that sentence.

[@roelfkromhout]

These interviews are such a welcome change from the usual ones that manage very little other than getting the spokesperson to just repeat what's on the press release. Great job Chris.

[@samshimmin8562]

RR vs HP4 race please Baron! Keen to see how big the gap really is.

[@sirkk3338]

I'm looking forward to this comparison as well!

[@muzman777]

Let's hope it is sunstancial, or £65K is a fucking expensive RRr.

[@DarwinAllen]

Yeah plus the motor replacement situation. An even more interesting video I'd like to see is the Panigale R with the claimed 230+ hp race exhaust against the HP4 Race. HP4 Race will win for sure since it's way lighter and track-only, but I'm wondering what the margin is as far as lap times and fun factor. BMW really needs something street-legal in the middle here I think. An M1RR (or something like that since they'er ditching the HP nomenclature) with more ponies and more exclusive materials / components would be awesome.

[@bengriffiths5096]

Baron, epic interview you really got the most out of him! His knowledge is second to none !

[@nyleen]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE PICTURE WITH ME!!!! Still freaking out. Thank you for the videos!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I love the look of that symmetrical front end - so glad Sepp pushed hard for that one....lovin' the looks of the sports Beemer now....nice vid, thanks for posting gents!

[@SJCB27]

TheMissendenFlyer You never liked those asymmetrical lights, did you, Mate!? Now you can part-ex that crappy Italian for a proper sports bike... HA!

[@diemman70]

The one unique design is gone with the 💨.

[@randykawasaki]

looks like you could have saved a few quid Chris?

[@timgreen5673]

I am an 1198 owner and I've been waiting for the new style of Ducati, and its here. However, several people have complained about the heat from the engine. At the same time, while waiting for a new Ducati, I've been waiting for a new style of BMW. I think your new S1000RR (M) bike looks good, and I am very interested. Thanks for giving a meaningful interview/video. Keep up the good work

[@SaferiderS1000RR]

Great debriefing on the bike with solid questions. This channel will soon be dominant. Keep up the great work!

[@Inspirikus]

One of best interview and review of new S1000RR. Straight to the points explained all details what regular consumers would like to know...asked right questions...Loved it you guys should do more of this.

[@richardpriestley1419]

Nice intro to the new RR. Great to meet you at the show and have a chat over lunch. Thanks Baron.

[@CPUspeed]

I'm happy they are dropping the Hewlett-Packard moniker :)

[@shiznuts]

Harry Pottery class?

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Hewlett-Packard, release 4.

[@andrewd7586]

Oh & all this time I thought it was HARRY POTTER!!!🤪🤣

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Maybe it stood for Hodge Podge.

[@valkeminator1862]

HP Sauce

[@avimistry8820]

I personally think that this is the best looking bike of the new gens. And as far as performance goes, I'd be surprised if it falls short in any department.

[@jamest5149]

Sepp is a great advocate for the RR, he knows his stuff fully and comes across as very enthusiastic (as much as Germans can lol). looking forward to 44Teeth and Baron doing their reviews on the new M model.

[@MotorcycleThrottle]

One of the best motorcycle channels online.

[@manusk40]

Great meeting you at the show, Baron

[@yamakawirodebike5710]

Great to see someone with passion for their job.Makes you believe in the product too.

[@RankoFrka]

They switched from ''HP'' to ''M''... It kinda reminds me of a BMW 1/2/3 series with M optik bumpers and other visual performance upgrades. HP was at least a synonym for performance.

[@D_H_88_99]

Would this be a good learner bike for wet greasy country roads with lots of tourists driving on them? 🤣

[@keratubes]

Daniel Hoyle In GTA, absolutely !

[@DeanLawrence_ftw]

Turbo Hayabusa on slicks would be better

[@PanicInSectorFive]

It has so many electronics probably yes....

[@the_norty_rider]

Probably not powerful enough, and too many rider aides for a beginner I'd say!

[@pistolpete5805]

Absolutely, even a bit under powered i think...... comfortably great on dirt tracks

[@GrahamTaylor384]

I can’t fold myself up that much theses days unfortunately, perhaps a new XR with that engine will suit....

[@Flip01]

Great interview Chris. It's about time you did some work on the channel and give Al the day off! 🖒

[@FedeGherbaz]

What an Amazing bike. Now, You see how good looking is conpared to the old One. Totally another level

[@upthepole]

Visited the show today and that Beemer is the star of the show, amazed by the digi dash. Then again the v4 Duke is a work of art.

[@sk2283]

They have really upped their game on looks and specs, love it !

[@jackgambino2687]

Great channel, found it by seeing baron’s videos come up on my feed. Im 2 weeks in to bike and license ownership and in my opinion you guys are both great ambassadors for the enjoyment of bikes. I look forward to seeing more content, cheers 👍

[@LiusLow]

Yes,i like that headlight too😍

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

We all love the heated grips.

[@MrSand3rz]

Best interview on the new S1000RR 👍🏻

[@casefarley5744]

Great video, and the bike looks amazing. You guys are killing it. Best moto channel on the internet right now.

[@SportbikerNZ]

Very thorough. Best line of questioning I've seen on the new s1000rr. Good to hear about slide control which I was very curious about.

[@voodoorider9619]

The rear lights make perfect sense for track being able to whip it all off in one. However for the road and the fact that they are integrated into the tail tidy means until someone develops a really nice aftermarket system either with a smaller tail tidy or indeed a completely integrated light fitting you have to deal with that huge standard one

[@Sion_Jones]

I liked the asymmetrical face, but this new one is a thing of beauty. Thanks for stopping to shake my hand and chat on Sunday when I called you Chris. I got a bit star struck and started babbling, so I apologise for that 🤩🤣

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Perfect German execution... “the target was...”, and so they just simply delivered. This will be the bike to beat again in this class! The weight reductions alone are super. Also. I love the new lights!

[@retrostu1]

Love the looks of the old bike, love the looks of the new bike!

[@fjtwelve]

One of the best most informative interviews I've seen for a while. Askid him where the next hypescorts tourer (k1600s?)is coming g from. There are several thousand k12 and k13s riders looking for their next bike....

[@nhilal94]

I can only imagine how the 2020 BMW S1000R will be like!

[@MOTOUK1]

Excellent mr BVG can’t wait to see the test ride

[@91DDJ]

So this is why you were lurking around BMW on Saturday! Was good to meet you dude, your hair is taller in person

[@Quazi1966]

This bike has my juices flowing, not available yet as I found out yesterday, August for the M, pre-ordered.

[@cmsmwoo1]

Was a fair bit of wibble on the tank sides where your knee will contact the tank sides.

[@rewmeister]

Thank you 😁 so excited for the future of these bikes. I have a s1000r, can't wait to see what BMW does with it over the next couple of years

[@GIGABACHI]

This guy is one of the few "company suits" I'm willing to hear what he's got say about his product . . . he sounds very passionate and proud. Slow clap applause for you Sr. ! Not feeling the switch from HP to DOUCHY M ! SO MANY FRIGGING CHOICES on the screen ! LOL. I want the WTF/ALIEN FACE back !

[@zainsayed4913]

One of the first bids with a lot of detail.. amazing, get a first ride asap

[@samrit123in]

Incoming comments from *asymmetrical* design lovers

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

I love the old design (I have a GS which does asymmetrical like a pro) , but I'd be thrilled with any RR from the first to the most recent. Brilliant machine.

[@nineofoto]

Was just about to comment... This stopped me.

[@chrisvinicombe9947]

They know where that door is "don't let it hit you on the way out" 😘

[@EazyE11]

I'm progressive. It was time for a change.

Now I feel I'm comment-blocked! :)

[@selcukylmaz6172]

Much better than old one ❤️🖤

[@robnorish6515]

Looks good there’s one at my dealership here in Devon in a couple of weeks so I look forward to having a gander. I just finished putting my 18 away for the winter and I just adore the look of it. Hopefully the 19 has that wow factor for me then I may change up in 18 months time. Cool vids as always 👌🏼

[@CalumChan]

Fallen in love with this bike!!!!!!!

[@marcbetts2177]

Another great video and so nice to meet you yesterday .. 👌🏼

[@manuelfavaYT]

we are waiting the new s1000r

[@bikersquest]

Would be cool if we could get a detailed explanation from other manufacturer's flagship bikes too, it's quite fascinating how much detail goes in making these bikes

[@bogleshogle]

It's so crazy to see that bike on this channel when i got a pic of me sat on it on Saturday

[@TheSuperpod]

Looks like a great build for my tastes. I veered into Italian world after a couple of BMWs, but in a couple of years time I may find my way back into German stuff. Good job Bavarian friends !

[@pramathewyayawar6934]

Tom Sykes is going to love this bike. Watch out Mr. Rea. It's very obvious looking at this bike that it seems smaller, more compact, lower centre of gravity. BMW definitely has made a much better track bike than before, but is it better or worse on the road? We're still awaiting 44teeth's review🙂

[@Bernievids]

Simply put, it will, once again, be, The Ultimate Riding Machine. Can not wait to see it and ride it.

[@robotspartan9100]

So glad they went symmetrical on the front, down with the lop siddedness! On a serious note, this looks to be a fantastic bike. I'm a yammy boy at heart, but BMW look to have made a bloody good bike here

[@LouPezza]

Give him a pay rise! nothing he did not know and so passionate about it - enjoyed it thanks

[@dexterk1902]

Absolutely Genius Motorbike 🏍

[@stevenshelp1107]

Can’t wait to get my hands on one, looks like it’s gonna be something special!

[@toshaks]

Best video on BMW S1000RR 2019 model. Can we get your candid review on how much better it is than competition, both on track and on streets. Supersport bike ranking won't be too bad either for 2019

[@BaronVonGrumble]

it probably wont hit dealers until April so got a bit of time to wait...

[@husky701rider9]

I’d love to see them bring back the green color from the original launch. I have a new dream bike.

[@ianchambers2731]

Had a look yesterday at the show....love the look of the bike and it'll no doubt be fabulous.. .but.......beautiful swingarm? No - it looks to weedy, like something off an ER6f 😮. And not really a fan of the tail/brakelights integrated in the indicators on the rear.

[@shisduhos5682]

Ian Chambers , agreed to both...rest looks fine...compared to the r1 or the v4 the rear is just ugh...

[@plainclotheshorse224]

Really good Q&A Chris.

[@tigerick7291]

Amazing invention and technology and in a few years it will be on more affordable bikes. Keep it coming.

[@DouEditz]

I love the fact that this ISNT a damn power-point presentation like 99% of KZbin channels..

[@moviebod]

Well, you are certainly in the BMW club and I love the fact that they are using their M designation, what a no-brainier which I would imagine was missed by everyone. It was certainly missed by me, a former M owner. Makes me want to buy one! Just watch out for any plastic components.

[@miamijag]

Excellent walk around, lots of info. Thanks.

[@s19hu]

That screen looks more appealing than an iPhone.

[@bianco2012]

Ol' Baron taking some nut shots every time he says "...same like Race" hehee

[@nicholascherry5962]

Fantastic bike. I was hoping they'd present the red spec but can't complain as more people will get this spec. I'll enjoy my bare 2016 cbr1000RR for now as I keep my eye on these S1000RR's

[@sbklvr]

I think I'd dig it more if the red stripes were hot pink. The combo reminds me of my 87 Gt Performer freestyle bike.

[@markufoto]

The German brands do auto/moto so well, they really suck you in to their little world of goodness. I like the brand move to M badging, headlight design, and how they just seem to think about everything.

[@MrPninja]

Can’t wait to buy one

[@paulthreesixty]

I like that guy. And the bike looks like a weapon

[@hendrix01249]

Gotta Say Chris , Your Guffy, Pissed up Funny Chat has Morphed into Some of the Best interview Chat Goin , ..Ace Dude.

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

Would love to see a review on the s1000r (single r) when that comes out. Hoping that will have some revisions as well. This bike does look amazing. Looking forward to seeing this in our local Australian showroom floors for a test ride. Looking forward to watching your review of this as well BaronVonGrumble.

[@jeromegraves183]

You can definitely tell that Baron loves BMW. I think it’s first video he ever did he wasn’t being sarcastic. LOL!!!

[@kubak5306]

very nice and clear explanation . great vid

[@Benjay1975]

interesting to see how similar the sub-frame, geometry, swing arm is modeled on the HP4 race

[@woooster17]

Is there such a thing as a bad Superbike these days.. they’re all stunning technical tour de forces.. I’m of an age where I can remember the gentlemen’s agreement of max 125bhp for bikes.. now we’re commonly at 200+bhp, with amazing electronic rider aids etc.. just Incredible..

[@windyrun7979]

Thanks for posting. Very professional and informative.

[@sivonparansun]

Sepp Mächler has the best job in the world. As an engineer and track day junkie, I'm jealous =)

[@SAMFICOM]

What most people are missing is what can be a really serious problem with 2019 S1000RR. It is front geometry of the bike. Trail - 93.9mm and forks angle 23.1 degrees. This is very wrong for anyone who plans to use it for racing or "inspired" road riding. These numbers will give you very unstable bike which handles great at low speed, but will be very unstable at high speed. Prone to tank slappers and etc. Proper front geometry for fast bike like this lays somewhere around 100 to 110mm trail and 25 to 26 degrees of fork angle. In my opinion this may be the major problem with new S1000RR.

[@ReshardsAutomotiveWorkshop]

Ride the bike already! Love the headlights!

[@martins7194]

I could not buy the bike when it had the asymmetric thing going on. But now, it's a serious candidate. :) Good video/interview.

[@sanjv1120]

Very informative video. Thank you

[@Bornie205]

Really interested to see how the brakes perform. Awesome bike, thanks for the detail

[@dougie1325]

I'm looking forward to seeing this in the flesh. Not a huge fan of the gold colours BMW have introduced to this and the GS, seems a back step to me. Fairly conservative on looks I feel but in no way disappointing, I would have liked them to have gone a bit more radical. I can't argue the tech updates, they sound awesome and I like they have an M version.

[@gpracer270]

The technology is INSANE , what will it be like in another 15 years? This is already more a space ship than a motorbike!

[@banquo3051]

Excellent content, thanks

[@AMomcilo1]

Gorgeous bike

[@Juzmix]

Looking forward to the new S1000R.. the wait begins..
