[@mrcintheuk5596]

I'm stunned. That's was one of the best reviews I've seen in a while, not because of speed, popping wheelies, power, noise, etc, etc, but because of practicality and use of the bike in real life on public roads. Fully appreciate this is a rocket ship, so many will be disappointed that you've banged on about practicality, but it's just so refreshing to see a review about what motobikes will be used for 99% of the time. 👍👍👍

[@LambChopRides]

Really appreciated MrC, yeah I wanted to show all the things which people dont normally talk about. Glad you liked it!

[@AlienSexGod]

Mr C? C is probably my favourite thing and word in the Engrish language! Now where is Mrs C? Speaking of the English language the American terror continues and flags me for spelling the word favourite supposedly incorrectly because they think that dropping the u is correct English! That's as irritating as white van or trucks not pulling over!!!

[@bernhtp]

Great review! I’m an old geezer (67) and have almost 11,000 miles on my 2020 S1000RR M Sport. There’s still a bunch of hooligan in me. As you say, it’s an amazing machine. I do mostly sporty street riding through the local twisties, but have also had 6 track days on it this past year, including 2 full days at COTA (the US MotoGP/F1 track in Austin, TX). Whatever the venue, street or high-speed track, this is the best sportbike made. The 44Teeth guys came to the same conclusion recently in their review. The RR won both the street and track superbike shootouts over the RSV4, V4S, R1 M, and CBR1000RR R SP. That the RR can excel and beat everyone else at both extremes is a remarkable achievement. I rent an S1000XR (the new one is terrific) when I do distant tours with buddies (my trip across the Pyrenees got canceled this year when the world closed), but the RR isn’t terrible, albeit it doesn’t have the luggage capability of the XR or GS. But the RR is the best at giving you an instant woody regardless of venue.

[@LambChopRides]

Brilliant there is hope for me yet! 11000 miles this year isnt bad either 👍

[@stewartcowan5886]

Having now done 2k miles on my S1000r sport I’ve got to say it’s the best bike I’ve ever had. Sat nav in a sport bike? heated grips? and cruise control. It’s perfect. I was a Ducati fan boy but the panigale doesn’t even give you a fuel gage. The performance is phenomenal (like all sport bikes) but as you say it’s the perfect sports tourer. I’m 6’4 and 56yrs old and it’s a joy to ride. Guys this is the best all rounder out there. A 200 mile journey is a joy.

[@TrulyUniqueOne]

2000 miles 😂😂 I do that in a month

[@CraigShawCraigShaw]

I've got a 2015 S1000R... cruise control, engine modes and the electronic suspension are excellent, love it!

[@shaun1552]

Nice to know there's a bike out there I can enjoy in my golden years!

[@glennturnbull8568]

Great professional review Chopsie, you should be on MCN, and you deserve far more subscribers that you currently have. Thank you.

[@LambChopRides]

Appreciate that thanks!

[@AlienSexGod]

I dunno man. Different is good. Chopsie is a classic more mature rider who whilst leaning it and tracking it occasionally is more of a road warrior. Whereas Neevsie has more race cred and leans more in race mode style and belief. Most riders, even those who occasionally go on track, aren't close to the limit of modern litre bikes and do 99% of riding on roads. For example Neevsy still pushes the Tuono as the ultimate Sport Tourer. It's definitely great but nowhere near as comfy and as liveable as the S1kRR which owns the S1kR because of shift cam, more adjustable suspension and modes and a proper fairing that can easily take a super tall screen for touring in a 5 minute swapout. Riser and straight bar kits are available for it also. So I reckon LCR nailed it better than MCN here. I like hearing a bloke more from my perspective. I used to race cars on track in championships but I never ever raced bikes on track and likely never will.

[@IanM2698]

Really great review the best I’ve seen of BMW S1000RR as an everyday street, road sports bike - keep them coming 👍

[@abcdefghijk5095]

I've got a BMW s1000r but I've been wanting to try the big brother for a long time. Took one for a test ride yesterday after watching this & many other videos online after work during the week. Chopsy, you were 100% right. Around town this bike is magical. I was stunned. Absolutely stunned at how much more maneuverable than the s1000r was around town. Unbelievable. It was so good I'm trading in my s1000r for the s1000rr. Thank you Chopsy!

[@Falkon786]

It will be interesting to see your reviews on the new naked S1000R when it's out....

[@MrVanroq]

anyone know when that might be? I feel like I'm Googling daily..just hoping for news..

[@Tatlock57]

You sold me this bike Chopsy, I've bought the S1000RR M pack, I have the new registration from BMW, but I'm waiting on the bike to come to the show room. It was the saying, old mans sports bike that did it for me, I'm 64. Thanks for all your hard work. Robert. 👍

[@pistolpete6321]

Says a lot about how good this motorcycle is that you picked it over the Aprilia! Great video!

[@kuhndj67]

I spent a couple days with the 2020 S1000RR at VIR earlier this month, and I was very impressed. I'm coming from a Multistrada (which is a fantastic Sport-Tourer I've put 60,000 miles on in 4 years). Comfort wise I was surprised at how comfortable the RR was, I do think it'd be suitable for short touring rides (couple days and maybe up to 300 miles a day... so not hardcore but pretty capable). Certainly leg position is tighter... but I generally ride with my toes on the pegs of the Multi and it's pretty close to the normal leg position on the RR. The only issue is that you don't have a lot of positioning options and on longer rides it's important to be able to move around (so you'd need to stop more frequently to stretch). This was my first time on a sportbike and I was also surprised at how little weight was on my wrists... I don't really think wrists would be a problem riding the RR for longer periods of time. Then there's the power... midrange is more than powerful enough for nearly all street riding. Top end is BALLISTIC. Over about 9k rpm will likely be very sparsely used on the street (at least if you want to hold onto your license).

[@m1cky6]

Nice bit of kit for sure....What's the latest with the hypermotard build Chops?

[@jake88ci]

Much better reviews than VISORDOWN . They NEVER have the minerals to state if one bike is better in class than another. ALSO good review on the BMW S1000RR, this reviewer owns a Kawasaki H2 which is a very comfy very capable sport tourer. So when he states the BMW S1000RR is even BETTER than the Kawasaki H2 you know its an exceptional ROAD BIKE.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Jake 👍

[@rogase68]

Great review of the S1000RR. I think you nailed it with this bike. Its very versatile by virtue of its neutral riding position and adjustable suspension. For an all round bike you cannot go past cruise, heated grips and navigation. All these things work brilliantly on the S1000RR. When I'm really knackered coming home I'll often put it in rain mode and you could be riding a Ninja 400 its that docile. It even turns off the pops and crackles. In contrast take it to the track you can stiffen this up to a point where is feels as sharp as some of my old race bikes. One turn of preload on the rear and hit your favourite race pro mode and you are good to go.

[@industrialkhaos]

What a lovely day you have there, just fill her up and go. That BMW is like you said top of my list. What a bike.

[@daveodo4315]

I’ve loved those bmw sport bikes since they came out. It’s one of the best looking bikes I’ve ever seen.

[@Lar308]

Immediately after watching this video back in August 2020 I phoned the dealer and put in an order for an M Package for delivery in January 2021. Obviously I had watched previous S1k video's on you tube but it was this video that made me say - right lets do this. Thankfully Lamb Chops was right - it is a nice comfortable bike for the elderly rider (62) so thanks Lamb Chops for making me pull the trigger on this one.

[@tracer1127]

At last someone giving it a proper review and not trying to compare a road bike to a full on track bike. If you only ride for a couple of hours a week I’m sure the more focused bikes are a blast, but if you want to ride thousands of miles a year a bit of comfort goes along way. Let’s face it whilst we all like a good blast you can’t ride the whole day like it and keep a clean licence or survive on the road.

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Tracer glad you got the point of the review 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I do love the S1000RR (I'm an old geezer after all) but I don't recall if you've ridden the Ducati V4 Panigale? If not you should, given how much you liked the Streetfighter.......Personally I preferred the Duke V4 over the S1000RR - both amazing bikes though....

[@sk2283]

I agree 100% with your suspension comments, the BMW is super comfortable and very very good (once you play with the modes) but does seem to lack a bit of feel & feedback, it can feel a bit vague but it works so well. I found the whole bike so good it was bland ! if that makes sense !?!!? it was good but not exciting. quite effortless to go fast especially when compared to say a Ducati V4 which is bonkers ! with heated grips and all the bells & whistles a 'superbike tourer' it definitely is

[@AoP893]

[@amancalledjames9345]

Third time of watching this 😀 You summed this up perfectly. I got a gen 3 this year and love it. Great for summers day blasts and stick my SW-Motech panniers on and it’ll your beautifully. I can only imagine what this one is like. I keep kidding myself I’ll keep my current bike but being honest with myself, I’ll be on one of these before the end of next year. And I’m the older gent you mention...I’m 52. Previous bikes were a Ducati Supersport then a couple of Multistradas. The SS was a great tourer, and my BM is very close. Both are better than the Multi IMO.

[@luckyoleary9626]

Mate, I'm convinced. I unfortunately had to sell my 15 S1000RR and 15 Super Duke, but I'll be able to grab a new bike soon. I've been torn between the Tuono (no dealer nearby), the Beast 2020 and the BMW. With the extra low down grunt of the shiftcam and all the extra features it looks like the winner.

[@gseaber]

What an absolutely fantastic review! I would bet that many of your subscribers are experienced riders who make choices with their hearts as well as their heads. You don’t just give us the headlines, you also give us the subtleties and nuances behind the headlines. Thanks 007. (Looking forward to the next Hyper instalment.)

[@nickrider5220]

Another excellent video. I've always forgiven my new bikes for most things for 2 weeks, maybe a month, then the euphoria wears off a bit - then you notice the bike's not very comfortable, pours heat at you and other real life things. If you spend your life doing track work the criteria is different. For the road you can only ride a section as a sports bike, the rest of the time is sports tourer mode (certainly in over crowded England) - that's why this video is so good, it tells the other side of the story .... it also does well at super stock and road racing, it covers a lot of bases. I like the gsxr1000 too, it does the other stuff well - which if we're honest is the vast majority of the time.

[@StormAutoAdventures]

Hands down one of the best reviews I've ever seen! Very nicely done with incredible camera angles! I love the 2020+ BMW S1000 RR. Hopefully by next spring, this will be my second motorcycle.

If this is comfier it must be awesome. Oh, and the power sets your hair on fire when you want it to.

I’m 63 and arthritic’ but I love this bike. All my fillings are still in.

[@viasevenvai]

ya my r1250 doesnt like quick shifting before 15 minutes of warming up. The coolant though is expanding the block and while your oil may not be in every spot the block is expanding to reduce wear. that’s my non-mechanical engineer idea.

As always a great review. About to change my Multistrada 1260s as I’ve now done 10k miles on her but never really liked the adventure bike look. Was contemplating the Kawasaki H2SX, but now I think I need to try the S100RR.

[@ryanmalone2681]

I was looking at the hypernakeds for something I can have fun with on the street and also do 5-6 track days a year with, opposed, to just having a dedicated track bike. When I started looking at the S1000R I started to compare it to the S1000RR. I then realized you gain a lot of weight with the S1000R and lose a lot when compared to the S1000RR. When I then sat on one and realized how much more comfy the RR is compared to the class I figured I’d order one.

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah it's a great bike Ryan 👍

[@ryanmalone2681]

New to your channel. Great review. Thought I was done with sport bikes myself and I’m currently enjoying my 2000 R1100RT. However, I’ve put about 250 miles on my buddy’s Ninja 400 over the summer, and discovered I still got the feels. Panigale V2 is what I have my eye on for a second bike, as I’ve ridden soooo many inline fours, but you’ve convinced me that the S1000RR is worth serious consideration. Thank you, from one O.G. to another. Subscribed.

Chopsy, your vlogs are a great watch and help. I don't have a bike at the moment, last bike was the vfr 800vtech (loved it great bike). I love a sports tourer being more upright. This rr may not be upright enough for me tho. Should I ever ride again I'm thinking more the 1000sx. Thanks👍

[@dougiequick1]

Can you set the cruise control to obey the posted speed automatically? That could be an awesome feature or even better that but with warning light on dash when you exceed by 10% maybe that would be yellow then 20% it turns orange and 30% or more red ....for instance

[@7quicksilver77]

Just got a 2020 M sport to replace my gen 1 2011 model. I'm 70 in 6 months. I'm loving everything about it except the seat, which is a bit much for my bony old arse. But there are obviously things that can be done to improve seat comfort, which I will sort out over the winter months. Either with a bespoke detachable comfort cover, or lots of doughnuts :D

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah get the non Msport seat 👍👍

[@theonlyredspecial]

It’s an awesome bike. I’ve modded mine quite a bit (removed plastics for m performance and illmberger carbon to improve the looks). Full akrapovic which makes the mid range even more torquey and the sound is next level too (and my BMW dealer remapped it with a laptop!). m performance rear set etc. It is actually a good tourer especially after riding the 2020 rrr sp fireblade which I also own. Both great bikes but very different. Navigation with the phone is quite useful sometimes - not as good as a full GPS system but a feature I dont think you will find anywhere else.

[@mudwhistle74]

Great review. Would you pick this or the super duke as your road bike? I’m due for a new bike and have so far gone ZX10R to ZX14R but now think for me a more upright naked with similar torque to ZX14R would be the super duke. However your review of this makes me think I could have the ability and light weight I miss from the ZX10R with possibly some comfort. Or would the super duke still be more comfortable for a 45 year old?

[@LambChopRides]

You need to test ride both 😁👍 this is very comfortable for a sportsbike but not as comfortable as the Superduke. But downside is no fairing on SD so motorway work is harder going than the S1000RR. Both bikes are incredible, I absolutely love both and it's very hard to choose between them.. I think my top two favourite bikes currently available!

Excellent review. As a Sports Tourer would you say the riding position fits that description? are you more upright and relevant wind protection to call it a tourer ? It looks still very much a sports position from your vid ? I was thinking of replacing my ZZR 14 with a H2 SXSE that's why i ask but i will also follow your advice and try one too.

[@smgw15]

Chopsy, do you need the MSport one? Id love to know what you thought on the normal one as there is a big difference in pennies!

I am very keen on the new S1000 RR, looks great. I changed from my 2011 Daytona 675R to a 899 Panigale and found the riding position much less focused and a lot more comfortable on the Ducati, I'd be interested to see what the BMW is like.

[@AlienSexGod]

Definitely way more comfy than the Panigale and also way faster when you want it to be. The Pani looks cooler and sounds cooler however. I would hate to see the service bill on a Pani however.

@@AlienSexGod The 15k mile service is the one to worry about on the 899/1199, scary quotes!

Great review chops i am looking for upgrade and definitely going to Test Drive this Bike

[@simotofoto]

Bought one of these in March in Sport trim traded in a Gen 3 version and it really is the best bike I've ever owned it does everything and it looks the bollox, great review Choppsy summed the bike up completely :)

[@LambChopRides]

Good to hear!

[@hectorallanrivera9334]

Yes, a video title and content that I have been waiting for! Looking to buy a 2021 S1000RR this month. Thank you sir!

[@Jeez726]

👍...This or a new Tuono/SDR for the road? Hmm love the sound of that V4 though.

[@barryc710]

Having ridden all 3, my personal opinion is the that the bmw still has an aggressive riding position compared to the tuono and superduke r. The bmw is an amazing bike but for me it's still a supersport so it doesn't make it the best overall road bike . But hey we're all different.

[@hnic72]

The tuono and sdr are both better for the road especially when considering that brick of a seat on the M. Lastly, were I live, the M costs almost 50% more than the other 2 you mentioned

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah its comfortable but not naked comfortable, but the faring is nice for motorway work of course..

[@aaronlovett1925]

Ah man I have my fingers in my ears 😂 going la la la la 😂😊 I was hoping you would say the bike was only ok a bit dull in the new year I'll be trading the SDGT and I like doing track day's 🤔🤔🤔🤭🤭🤭🤭 great vid 👍👍 again is there anything you didn't like about it 🤣😂🤣

[@tristandrew5903]

Tried one recently, outstanding. However for any motorcycle commanding a £20k price tag you don't expect to then have to spend another £2.5k on a sport exhaust system and replacing the cheap plastic bits. Other than that, the vibrations and difficulty finding neutral & low screen it's nigh on perfect

[@AlienSexGod]

vibrations are fixed with the BMW bar end wrap around guards Fyi.

[@RutgerSmets]

You're slowly starting to sell the bike to me.... And you already pretty much sold me a Tuono hahaha. Watching this channel is damn expensive, but it's really worth it ;). Thanks for the video's!

[@LambChopRides]

haha thanks Rutger :-) Did you get a normal notification on the video?

[@RutgerSmets]

@@LambChopRides Yes I got a notification!

[@LambChopRides]

OK great stuff :-)

[@hyperthunk]

What's wrong with both? 🤣

[@RutgerSmets]

@@hyperthunk Financials mostly haha

[@Automotechind]

Oh man! Was thinking of the Panigale V2, after this video you have made me rethink so bad😅 lovely video as usual mate! Cheers.

[@Supersnakeridah]

Great review all the way from Australia 🇦🇺 👏 chopsy excellent review 👍 👏

[@andrewshore262]

I think the BMW has got it licked, they clearly know and understand their target market. When you look at the new Blade for example it’s probably everything the BMW isn’t. Another top review, really enjoyed it and found myself agreeing with you - out loud which was a bit weird lol Keep ‘em coming 👍👍👍

[@LambChopRides]

Testing the new Blade soon so will let you know... :-)

[@-DC-]

New Blade is a absolute animal very un Honda like, you do have to rev the nuts of it though was very impressed seeing it in the metal looked better than the magazine pictures.

[@shiftlofi]

How tall are you? Neeves says if you are a shorter ride, the RSV4 is a really good bike. I use my bike mostly on the road, so comfort is pretty much priority for me.
