I don't know what was faster, Neeves or the bike Vid quality is great too, glad you guys figured it out

[@dave80h]

Neevesy still does the best MCN videos, no one else should be allowed to do them.

[@hedgehog3900]

That was some bloody fine footage.Bloody fine riding too.

[@samiam5326]

It was good to see how the tachometer dropped as you came off the accelerator going round the corners, just like you spoke about the other day. Thanks for the education.

[@MotorcycleExtremist]

Micheal you are a madman and that's why we love you! lol It's like you own that track! You are truly a "biker's biker" if that makes any sense. Curious to know if any upgrades and additions may be in store for this one as well.

[@zrouth]

Damnnn, our boy Neeves is no slouch. I've watched a bunch of his videos, but after seeing this I'm thinking he's raced plenty before. I doubt I would be able to keep up. I'm not seeing any headshake under braking though, and that means one of two things, either the BMW's electronics are JUST That GOOD, or Neeves isn't going very hard, and I'm not sure which is more impressive.

[@GrecoRoman123]

Neeves is the man.

[@ZeebNinja]

Great vid quality! Keep up the good work. Michael has gained my respect.

[@neorider9183]

doesn't matter the bike, naked or supersport if you know what you're doing ! Great driving fast and smooth ! and awesome bike

[@metalmaster76]

jesus, you're decent at riding! You're genuinely maxxing this thing out

[@piotrwydmuch9413]

Great riding:) finally MCN did a review without music! well done

[@extremlyawesome1158]

That riding skill makes me want to go back to track and try harder. I have one those bikes too. Just brilliant.

[@eduardosilva7304]

Maaan, you're an animal out there on the track! You pulverizes them all in. O time. Like the blue hat and (suzuki like) suit :) Thanks for the track review. Any review about the bike on the road? I'll look for it, for sure you made one. Cheers, keep the good work

[@stuartelwell1975]

i could watch that track action all day.....

[@and30ers]

Excellent riding, review, video and awsome sound quality. Thanks!

[@mxriderwd]

We want a follow up video! And still waiting for a s1000r vs tuono v4 vs 1290 SD

[@krissrock]

wow...riding the shit outta tha bike. Thanks for finally getting the sound right!!

[@orangeorphan]

that quick shifter is super smooth! I want one.

[@eduardosilva7304]

Oh yeah, as someone said previously on this chat, the "no music" was a very clever choice for this amazing video, too :)

[@MrMrflakey]

I would love to do that but nearly crapped myself watching it.. Looks awesome! Sounds amazing..! Great vid..

[@andyvoss5674]

Nice riding, great review. Please keep them coming.

[@GentlemanBikerVlog]

Great riding Sir. That thing sounded mad, like a seriously upset bee!

[@scott22neale]

Its so nice to see a decent video without music slapped all over the engine tunes ! Nice.

[@RumblestripDotNet]

Look forward to seeing a head to head with this against the Tuono!

[@rocketrobin1449]

Awesome footage.. You kick ash! I'm Going to have a great time riding mine this summer.. Oh Ya..

[@kevingalloway7585]

Neeves' is a bad-ass on the track!......😎

[@hugobear1]

yessssssssssss mine arrives in september - long bloody wait

[@ahmed197467]

awesome god bless Mr.neeves you just shocked me!

[@ShadowMKII]

Almost lost it looking around my room for a mosquito at the beginning of the track segment from the way the camera microphone was resonating.

[@user-ws7jn2gu9s]

Man that was a hot couple laps

[@sballenb]

Good for MCN, and once again great vid from Neeves!! Awesone bike, i would be nice to have the super nakeds on the race track once again fighting

[@e.rod.moto.]

When is the next update on your long termer? I keep checking back but nothin' :(

[@surly60]

Brands Hatch...Owned Great stuff.

[@FinneousPJ1]

Bloody quick bike and rider

[@Birb_of_Judge]

... kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5i9fJdqotaprbM ...

[@fehrlz]

Nice riding.. so fast the bike

[@bethmeggis]

i've done 1500miles on my 1000r and i;ve also got all the riding modes like neevesy except the dynamic pro setting, wondering if its a dealer upgrade because i haven't been able to find it in the engine mode settings.

[@luckydc]

crushin' it on the R! nice review!

[@theq8sata]

Hello .. he mentioned that this bike sags a lil bit cuz its naked bike .. I got the same issue with the same bike .. any advise how to fix this ? thanks

[@rocketrobin1449]

Looking forward to some more vids.

[@Nick212NYC]

And you passed a bunch of guys at ease. :)

[@Finchnz]

when that white light is flashing away like it seems to be doing on corner entry and exit etc is that the ABS/ Traction control working?

[@Roger101Watson]

It's the shift light, it's set to 7k rpm when new, when it flashes it's telling you to shift gear very soon..it's user set so can be adjusted.

[@Overture]

Another decent vid from Neeves! :D

[@dannykoprity3281]

maybe a silly question, what is that white flashy light for? Very nice driving skill tho!!

[@desmoMarco91]

Its the "gear change light" you can actually make it flash at whatever RPM you prefer in the settings, usually on track you rev the bike so high though that it flashes all the time!

[@uelanino]

Fantastic! Nice Bike Will be mine!

[@alejandrom1261]

how come its still going at 12 rpms?i though in red line wont accelerate anymore...

[@Towert7]

When pushed hard, do most liter bikes squirrel around like this bike?

[@roberthay675]

Such a smooth rider, makes it look easy. The other guys look slow in comparison and I bet they aren’t!

[@AutthachaiJuicy]

nice review

[@lewisworralll1563]

Holy crap, a naked bike at warp 12.

[@MrArche13]

надо программно изменить включение лампы для переключения передачи на более позднее.

[@meskalaneous]

Mr. Neeves...How are you reving up to almost 13k without redlining ?

[@TerribleTimes]

whys the white shift light blinking mid turn all the time?

[@neevesybikes]

It's the shift light, still set for running in mode. Keep forgetting to reset it... Neevesy. MCN

[@TerribleTimes]

ah ha, flat out is one way to break her in softly I guess ;)

[@davidnicholson6680]

Drilling it. Wow.

[@robertwarner5486]

said skills pay the bills.

[@cwugrad396]

A+

[@sarathmenon4828]

I see the craigslist ad at the end of all this: New bike, broken-in according to manufacturer specs, hardly raced...

[@JrSlaya]

Fark dude. I was thinking "There's no way he can catch that guy in front, he seems like a fast rider" then you pass him. wtf?.. You are on another level of "fast"

[@angelocardoc]

Track attack!!!

[@sdeary1]

neeves is shit hot on a bike, passed every superbike there

[@Stove-627]

Is it bad to red line the bike that much?

[@ggram.]

Won't hurt it.

[@BrianEvansracer]

Really interested in this bike BUT too bad it sounds like a Gixxer :-(
