New Bike Search | BMW S1000XR Test Ride

[@kyled4156]

Hello, had to chime in, I just purchased this bike a month ago in the M package (white). I’m 53 years old and have rode since I was 5 years old. I have had every brand of bike almost over the years. First time ever riding or owning a BMW, I can honestly say it is the BEST bike hands down I have ever ever had. Everything you mentioned and hit on was spot on my friend! It is truly an incredible bike and I will never own anything else. They are expensive but in my opinion worth every bit of it. Good luck and ride safe my friend. Also a new SUB to your channel!👍

Thanks so much for viewing and subscribing! i really appreciate it. I was pleasantly surprised. I've test ridden many bikes in the past but this one blew me away. The feel, ergos, weight, nimbleness, power and brakes was outstanding. It's definitely worth the price. My 57th birthday is coming up....i may have to treat myself lol. Stay safe my friend!

BMW offers a premium riding experience that will spoil you and your future motorcycle purchasing expectations. I've owned 8 BMW motorcycles the past 30 years and always find myself coming back to the brand. I'm currently riding and vlogging aboard my 2022 R1250 GSA and all the things you stated about your test bike ring true. What a premium riding experience. Nice video.

Thank you for the comment. Ive viewed a few of your videos. Very good content. S1000xr is definitely a well made machine. Stay safe

Regarding the seat, I'm told from owners that its good for short/medium rides but because its a bucket, it prevents the Rider form moving around, so for long trips gets uncomfortable.

I hv a 2021 bmw s1000xr in ice grey color and I absolutely love the bike. I've owned only Japanese sportbikes till this point but I'm in my mid 50s now and I didn't want to ride in such a comprised riding position anymore. The XR is fast, comfortable and can carry hard/soft luggage. I did put a Sargent seat on it though to make my experience more comfortable. As for the price of maintenance you are correct it is more expensive but it's the price of admission lol to ride a premium brand like BMW (Big Mother of a Wallet). The bike is up for its 18k service 💰💰but it is what it is. I don't do any of my own service. I used to wrench on my sportbikes/track bikes. But not anymore. Don't have the patience for it. Lol. Have fun, enjoy. Ride safe.

Thank you for the comment. Awesome insight. I pulled the trigger and purchased a 2023 Triple Black XR. I love it. This is by far the best performing bike ive owned. I love the fact that this bike is fast and its also a very capable touring bike. Yes you are right this is definitely a premium bike. I need to save my $$$$ for the 18k service lol. Enjoy the holiday season and be safe!

That is indeed a very great bike, what a coincidence I was also looking seriously to change my bike with this one but I just love the ST to much. I hope you enjoyed the ride and that it will be easy for you to choose a great upgrade to your collection! Take care and ride safe peace ✌

[@RobsMotovlogs]

Thank you my friend. The ST is an awesome bike. Definitely my favorite! Thanks for watching and be safe!

Hey Rob, hope you buy it, amazing motorcycle! I’ve had mine for over 2 years and wouldn’t trade it for anything else. Do you still have the Goldwing?

[@RobsMotovlogs]

Hey Pete. It seems like a fun bike. I am seriously considering it. Im in the procese of researching pricing. Yes i still have the Goldwing.
