I ride a full bolt-ons and tuned 2022 BMW S1000XR

[@nickrider5220]

Good to have you back CR 👍 looking forward to the next instalment 🙂

[@adzventurerider]

Nice comparison. OG is still a winner, 7yrs and still just as fun to ride.

[@erayhan35]

Good to see you pal, Can you make a quick rundown video about your all upgrades, tires, ..ect. I know you are talking about almost all the videos but a quick summary would be really helpful for lazy guys like me. Cheers!

[@marcos.1771]

I am currently riding the S1000XR model 2022, and I am very satisfied. In 2024 BMW will be marketing the M1000XR and I can hardly wait to see the final specs. Right now I am very much tempted to buy that new Beamer.

[@rgthomson1]

Thats a beast of a bike for sale CR, your own one is great too and keeps up with the sport bikes on the Dragon, always good riding from you man

[@seantatum3013]

That's BadA$$ Cuban! Glad to see the post! I have a red 2016 S1000XR with 9500 miles as well. 🏍

That screen has a Speedo Angels proctector on it... I can tell by the red tint when the sun shines on it (and they're fitted as standard by my local BMW dealer in the UK). The screen is much easier to read when you peel it off and throw it in the trash!

Good to see you back, many greetings from germany 😊

I'm on 86000 kms on my 2019 model XR now, since may 2020. I just bought a 2009 K1300GT with 23000 kms on the clock, just to use as a winter/bad weather bike, soo I can enjoy my XR for at least 4 to 5 more years. I wanted a sporty 4cilinder shaft drive with a lot of protection.

[@CubanRider]

That's a ton of km! Lots of happy rides, very nice.

[@FRSan91]

any problem with camshaft?

Awesome bike and a good rider 🥳

[@jamesmelendez4549]

I have a 2021 s1000xr and I love it. All the riding I do is sport touring. It's a great bike. I've done wknd trips and 400 mile days on it. With no complaints. I never went the whole headers/ tune route like you said lots of money and for the riding I do its not needed. My bike is basically stock except for a slip on and some other little do dads. Sad part is I heard from my local BMW dealer last wk that for 2024 the s1000xr is slated to be discontinued. It was on a Motorrad list that he was looking at. I couldn't believe it.😢 they are going to release the M XR and that's it. I hope and pray that this is not true. It's such a wonderful bike. Maybe he was looking at the wrong list. 🤔 🙏🙏🙏. Good video.

[@CubanRider]

Hopefully BMW doesn't do away with it, it's a very unique category and in my opinion BMW is the sportier (and cheaper bike) compared to the Ducati.

[@jamesmelendez4549]

@@binoyvaliyaparambath5759 I'm glad BMW did not discontinue the XR. It's a real good bike.

And I got my XR low suspension M sports package October The one bad thing they have done for 2024 was stop Offering low suspension on M sports package Glad that I got the 23 model Yeah I am glad they kept the S xR

[@jamesmelendez4549]

@@binoyvaliyaparambath5759 that's good to know that they stopped offering low suspension on M sports. I'm 5'6" on a good day so I got the low suspension low seat on my 2021 model. And it helps alot.

[@dv6902]

Welcome back!

[@CubanRider]

This bike is now sold, another happy XR owner. 🙂

[@TheDragonDelasangre]

I still absolutely love my 2016 XR, but the rear preload motor seized up which took out all of the dynamic stuff so the front end dives really hard now during braking. I can buy a used rear strut for cheap but at this point I'd like to spend a couple thousand dollars on tractive suspension. But at this point I'm almost thinking about upgrading to one of the new Ducati multistrada V4S. It's a tough choice cuz I love the XR and I own an outright and I'll never get my money out of it but...

[@bklynzman]

Sorry to hear about your rear shock. I had mine replaced at about 40k. Is your suspension blinking when you try to adjust the preload?

[@Allcampsfitness]

I have a s1000rr for sport and I have a k1600gtle for your. I’m thinking about going xr and have the best of both worlds.

[@StoleNo1]

The glare on the screen is due to the protective film. Otherwise, even when the sun is at its strongest and shining directly into the dash, it's perfectly visible and I've never had a problem with it.

[@JoeShep71]

MXR should be amazing

[@CubanRider]

Yes it will! It might be better than yours 😝

Love a good wheelie 😉 I’ve come off a 2021 ktm 1290 sdr and got a 2022 s1000xr only had it 2 weeks and I love it 👍 What power figures is that bike please? cheers jase

[@robrum155]

Where u been

[@nilsbreuer7296]

can someone telle me wich one to get. I´m always looking at the old and the new one, but I really cant decide I really dig the modern looks of the new but i often hear the old one feels more emotional.

[@scha0306]

I was just freaking out about potential deer when you were cruising through that close-wooded backroad at 90, and then, voila! (-;

[@CubanRider]

Yeah that road is 😬

[@tonyharding5336]

My 2016 just thrown a valve at 32k miles, can’t agree on the reliability

[@kgb3410]

Hi CR , can you please tell me , for wheelies, do you have to switch traction control off, I've just bought XR 1000 2018 ,it has all modes, dynamic pro etc, oh by the way it was yourself that finally convinced me that I needed to buy 1 haha .

[@bklynzman]

I have a 16 XR, just hit 87k miles. I wouldn't get the new XR for the reasons you mentioned. However, I would go for the GS. As much as I love the XR and wish BMW came out with an adventure version, that's not the reality.

[@CubanRider]

That's a ton of miles! That's awesome. I want a GS as well, but in addition to the XR, I don't think I could give up the speed so easily.

[@bklynzman]

@@CubanRider I don't want to give up the speed either but I can't justify the future maintenance , post warrenty.

[@damytzeus]

@cuban rider, what tune do you have on your current s1000xr? how do you manage having tune and getting bike serviced?

[@wesoly757]

I wish you would drag race your bike against the new XR instead the GS

[@AntaresSQ01]

I'm still firmly in the Gen 1 camp, the Gen 2 is just too watered down, especially in stock form, and the tech and refinements don't justify the price. I do prefer the new looks, but the rear looks "nicer", the Gen 1 is also far more comfy for me, gen 2 reach and seat are a bit meh.

[@MrRide77]

What did it make you feel?

Hello, does the odometer show km/h or miles?

[@colinhendry3]

Looks like MPH to me

[@platonkouirouklis576]

The fact that ur XR seems to be faster than a big mama GS, it doesn't make it a 'turing bike'. U know well that the XR/RR motors can brake anytime in the redline, while the GS motor can't brake. That's why its not 'a Turing bike'. The apples apples and the basket basket. Cheers man

[@smookinz4747]

Why didn’t you race him ? Both of you have modded XRs , and my money would be on the first gen 🥇

[@smookinz4747]

Your gen 1 vs hes gen2 ?

[@CubanRider]

Mine is actually stock. I crashed my XR on track and it's still waiting to be fixed, in the meanwhile I got me this lower mileage example.

[@smookinz4747]

@@CubanRider aha i got you .. bro lower your bike 1 or 2 inch and you will be quicker with less wheelies 👌

[@OVER5TEER]

I owned a 1g for 5 years, test rode a 2nd gen. Didn't like it. Lost the intake sound. Overall bike less raw, less exciting engine, throttle response felt spongy, and the seat was terrrrrible.

[@Magicinstalls]

Wait… You got a 22 model instead of waiting for the M with 200 hp? Big mistake

It's not his bike, see the pinned comment.
