NEW 2023 BMW S1000RR turns riding into a video game | MCN Review

Video games are awesome and so is the new S 1000 RR 💯 I can't wait to ride it fast around a track to experience this!

This is a really helpful video for those of us trying to get our heads around the changes BMW has made to the S1000rr. The current model (2019-on) is already easy to ride on track, and it will be interesting to see how the new electronic features translate in real world usage for average track day riders.

[@brucyburutsa241]

The more reviews of this bike I come across the more impressed i get… I guess it lacks the theatre to make it a great bike. Im really liking the new looks though. Great review yet again👍🏾

[@charlesjesudason2707]

Thoroughly enjoyed the review, honest and insightful from one of the humblest and gracious motorcycle test riders EVER!

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Great, honest and humble review Neevesy. Thank you. As someone who has a very similar racing experience and about the same age and dimensions. I’ve heard several “riders” talking about how much this slide control will help them on the streets. I’ve simply added that only 0.00001% of riders would be getting close to using it on track days, let alone street riding. I raced against both Troy’s (Corser and Bayliss) and in a race being out breaker into a corner and seeing the first of the two back it in corner after corner was something above my level of abilities. Keep up the great work. 👍😎🇦🇺

[@yoorukhunt947]

Fit Bridgestone V02 and you don’t need electronics.

[@wrxguyusa]

Don't spoil the fantasy. For 99.9% of riders (myself included) It's about believing that you could, if you wanted. BMW couldn't sell the bike without dreamers.

[@darylclifford]

So is slide control all about “backing it in” to corners? I thought it was meant for “controlling the slide” under acceleration out of corners? Zack from Revzillas Daily Rider channel tests “backing it in” on everything from scooters to V4 Panigale’s 🤔

Just rode one of these at the California Superbike School. I'm getting old and far from the world's best rider, but this thing made me feel like a hero. I was nervous for the first few laps, but this is so easy to ride.

[@ralphwarom2514]

I'd rather have lectronics than highside or lowside. It also saves your bike from wasting power tearing up your tires on road and on track. Once Im upgrading from my 600, I think the beemer will be first choice.

[@NudaMan]

Totally agree! I think traction control is the best especially if your running pirellis (Diablo rosso’s) which like to go down quicker than Michelins road 5’s

[@rampage3337]

@@NudaMan yeah i'm running a fz6n and honestly there are times i fucking wish i had electronics. i could have used ABS a few weeks ago when i almost crashed. but i was lucky that i reacted by muscle memory and avoided the collision. car pulled up in front of me when i was doing 160km/h fist of front brake slaming down the gears engine breaking but nope ain't gonna brake in time so right before i was about to hit the car in front i gave a cunt hair of rear brake which of course locked up the rear. front then steered away from the car and rear end started sliding so i was like milimeters away from hitting it sideways when i released the brake and the rear end just sling shot straight again right before it hit and bike got a minor death wobble.

[@mattedman]

I'll be ordering one. What you said about the steering I felt that with the last gen M-Spec with carbon wheels was so flickable and easy to corner. I thought they couldn't improve on the last gen but here we are. Value for money compared to the new Ducati's

[@teekay19.77]

Yes mate. It is as good as you say it is, the bmw should pay you a commission because your video persuaded me to buy 1. It’s done 200miles so far, than went on a holiday for 2 weeks, the only thing I missed was the bike. It’s lovely

[@dtprodrive]

I say it all the time about my 21 RR m pack. The bike is so much more capable than I will ever be. It’s incredible it makes you feel like a pro

[@VoodooCru]

Always a great review by Neeves! Thank you.

[@MangoT140]

Nice review. Thanks for that!

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Let’s just emphasise this. CARBON WHEELS & SLICKS are probably the 2 *biggest cheats* BMW could’ve thrown at it. I remember the first time I ever tried slicks on a track and I couldn’t believe the way it “stuck” you down to the road, especially at full lean, or on the gas vs a road tyre. Those changes are huge.

[@JNAMOTORSPORTS]

Carbon wheels alone

[@Schuey_M]

Great video Michael. I have a 2020 S1000RR Sport with Performance Pack (Adjustable swingarm, Forged lightweight wheels, Lithium battery, RACE Pro modes etc). I think based on your summary towards to the end, I'll stick with mine and then wait for the next gen (Gen 5) to arrive, rather than trade up for this facelift version. Seems like a great bike though and BMW smashed it out the park with it. Almost makes the M1000RR irrelevant really IMHO.

[@omnihein9322]

The M1000rr was never really relevant for an "average" owner, it was basically solely built for racing teams. The new one makes it even more obvious.

[@Schuey_M]

@@omnihein9322 That's a fair point and well made.

[@user-hb6ms3mb4t]

Thank you sir for this great review. Would you say the geometry changes from the ‘19 release are noticeable - marginally less flickable but more stable?

[@phillipchandler8862]

Wow Michael what a detailed comprehensive review. Seems like you were almost shocked by how good the bike is and what is available to delve into with the electronics. Maybe the track is the place to exploit it's performance but with such a high level and be comfortable eneough for a European tour surely makes it a great bike. I had a Gen3 and thaught that was good, how things move on!

[@TTRenglandR6]

[@stevenkates4876]

Such a smart analysis. I know it sounds crazy but you should also review bikes--- bicycles on a separate feed, your own. Take a look at the ENVE Melee ; the Colnago C68 and some of the European hyper bicycles and you may be hooked. Love your content.

[@richardgregg2366]

That's hilarious! I remember using that exact same analogy to describe the very first S1000RR all those years ago!

[@DarR1299]

Great info. Thank you. Quick question: Any "Panigale like" heat issues with the S1000RR? A bit about me: Had a Panigale 959 and Monster 1200R simultaneously. Traded the Pani for a Multistrada 1260 Pikes Peak. However, I miss the Panigale. Thinking of trading the Monster 1200R for a superbike while keeping the Multi. Seams like the S1000RR is a more suitable choice for predominantly street riding than a Pani V4S and better value, even with all the bells and whistles added to the M package. Your opinion?

[@bjornfr9]

I went from a 1200R to a S1000RR 2022, and the heat is an issue since there are less fairings and no exhaust under the seat. the pick was between pani v4s or s1krr and I don't regret my decision :) perhaps sometimes I wish there was more exhaust sound in the lower rev range. But the smoothness, price and cruise control was the dealbreaker.

Awesome as always buddy 🙌

The question to ask is are you getting one to replace ur current race gen4?

Picked up a 2022 2 months ago, I should've waited for the 2023... xD, great review🤩

[@tunctoker856]

Great video. Neevesy is just the best. As much as I applaud, appreciate and am in awe of the engineering, I just don't understand the obsession with this class of motorcycles. I rode the older versions on track 5 days in total and I couldn't agree more with the statement "u just need to be a pro to tap into the potential of this bike". What is the point of pouring Einstein-grade science to help "mortals" control and tame the power? It's like saying, I ride a dragon - oh nice, how - well, I drug it with 100kg s of opioids, then put heavy steel chains on each leg, muzzle it and then hop on it. Maybe we start with a horse? I see guys in advanced groups thinking they are rossi on these things, then a really good rider comes along and runs the course 10 secs faster on an old stock R6. Wait, we need more power, let's get the 240hp 175kg new ducati, because that was the problem. What's next, AI's will pilot 400hp bikes and people will watch from their tents with a phone and tell their friends all about how fast they are?

[@SimonWorlds]

My 22 M-Sport was one of the most amazing bikes I have ever ridden and owned, I loved it. I ended up selling it as my on road antics became a little extreme. I am an advanced Motorsports race car instructor and defensive driving instructor too as part of my job and could not afford to lose my licence, plus I started to think here I am preaching good driving habits and safety when doing defensive days, but I ride like a lunatic when it suits me on my bike, it wouldn't be a good look if I got busted for it and the Australian police are savage too. I would love another one, but it would have to be track only.

Quick question, I have the 23' S1000RR but it's my first bike and I only had 5 days bike experience when I was doing my bike license so I am afraid to push it. What your saying, talking about traction and slide control is that essentially going into a corner I can max throttle and/or max break on a corner and the electronics will keep me safe and avoid crashing my bike??.

Are the US-spec bikes going to be handicapped with the same mid-range "hole" in the RPM range that was present on the previous gen?

Your sense of humbleness and humility regards your capabilities to engage the electronics is refreshing. Mate if you cannot do it I'd say 90% of the buyers will be farther down!

[@rampage3337]

yeah and that also gave me a thought. no mather what you think about electronics you have to admit that having atleast 1 bike with all the bells and whistles out there is a good thing. i mean imagine how many people can just go out buy one and then start slowly learning and geting more comfortable so that they then can do it without the rider aids. i don't think people thought about it as a type of training wheels

[@dougiequick1]

Off topic but what is the difference between humbleness and humility? can anyone splain that to me?

[@dougiequick1]

@@rampage3337 If you think about it lots of improvements over the decades could be thought of as training wheels. When tires and brakes and suspension were total shat once upon a time one really had to possess skill trying to ride fast or else die! As these things greatly improved then people with less skill suddenly had a chance to survive going fast...As far as I am concerned they can just keep making it ALL better and better whether I totally need it all or not ....I dont want to turn anything off or give up any advantage just to know I could do it without it...I guess if I were a vintage racer I might revise that stance but as for now I am addcited to rider/driver aids and if it all suddenly fails I am simply slowing WAY WAY the F down lol

Talk about humble - well done Neeves 👏. Most riders will always claim they can push a bike to it's max when in reality most ride on the road and simply take more risks. Also seems that biking is becoming a bit disconnected now from the full experience similar direction to the car world. You are just present there and then rather than feeling a full bombardment of joy and fear on the analogue machines.

[@rampage3337]

no bikes are different than cars. bikes are still controlled by you these electronics are just there to help the bike go faster. even MotoGP could not do 1/3 of the speed they are doing without any electronics. and yeah most riders will claim they can push a bike to it's limit. specially middle aged people who think 10+years on track and never dropped a bike is a good thing and not a sign of them not being able to push the bike. if you never crashing you never pushing
