Ranking ALL 2022 SUPERBIKES with Michael Neeves | MCN

[@motorcyclenewsdotcom]

What's the best value 2022 Superbike?

[@ragerider6283]

List price the Kawasaki but in terms of real world prices on the shop floor, no one discounts like Suzuki so the GSXR is the best value bike in real terms for me.

[@philbarrett3739]

They don't make the 'single R' Gixxer anymore?

[@ragerider6283]

@@philbarrett3739 Some countries still have them for sale but they never sold that well in the UK so they discontinued it here. Also if you can only get the Phantom now, that 100% says a new GSXR1000 will surface in the not too distant future.

I have no idea what waffle fantastic means yet somehow I know exactly what it means I don't care either way thank you

[@theonlyredspecial]

I have owned most of these bikes. Only one I still have is my heavily modified h2. It’s just such a work of art and you never see one on the streets so most blokes are always interested to have a chat about it. Great video Michael. 👍🏻

[@pauldark3044]

Totally agree with you, had many bikes but the H2 it's just something else

[@shiftlofi]

Thank you, Neeves! This was just the kind of wrap up after the testing you did that I like to watch! Setting the standard for motorcycle reporting for years~

[@arnold5870]

For me looking at the choices, Suzuki GSX is good enough all-rounder, daily driver bike.

[@flyaroundyourfire]

I’ve been riding a GSXR 600 for the past 5 years since I got my license. I feel like I need to own a litre bike before they are killed off forever. I want that experience. My money would be on an S1000RR or R1. But I’m short so probably the S1000RR

[@CptSlow89]

I found them overkill for road use. Too fast, can get you in trouble fast and you can lose your licence fast...

[@jorreee]

I second this. If you even want a slight taste of that 200hp, you'll be higher in the rev range going absolutely stupid speeds on the road. You could argue a supernaked would be more practical on the road, but I tried a Superduke and the torque on that thing was also far too much for the road in my opinion. I currently own a Duke 890 R, which is considered to be the goldilocks street bike, but I even think that bike is too fast for the street. As soon as you start having some fun, you're going over twice the speed limit already. Bonkers.

[@ENLSN77]

I would try and borrow or hire a 1000 for a week or just a weekend. The constant fueling and the prices ('bigger tanks') will disappoint you very quickly. The bloody thing was constantly pawing the sky and didn't really need 6 gears.. 3 gears was enough. Don't get me wrong it was laugh inducing but.. The running costs and higher insurance broke the deal for me. If budget is not an issue for you then buy one but i, myself can live without one happily. And besides wheres the challenge in just pulling away from everyone on the straight bits if you can't go round corners faster too. Nah I'll stick with my 6 and keep my licence longer too. Go try one though at least..

[@KevGoesRiding]

a true gem of a video thanks so much! I love the R1 the most but most club race 'super stock' rules don't allow brake caliber changes which makes it a difficult choice if you want to do a little more than just track days

[@30NLF]

Great video, hopefully add an S1000RR in a few years when prices drop a little (I hope)

[@aurimasbielskis890]

Great video, as usual from Michael👌

[@markettradinggenius]

Don't forget that for the Roadside Assistance, BMW does NOT charge any deductibles unlike all other roadside assistance programs from all other motorcycle brands; such as Ducati, which ONLY gives you "up to" $200 to have a tow truck pick you up as part of the roadside assistance. You have to pay everything else after that. So, if you get stuck on a tour and the nearest Ducati or other exotic dealership is 150(or more) miles away you are screwed. But, there is NO limit distance for BMW. They pay for ALL of the towing no matter the distance ! That is considered a true 5 Star Service to the 'conscious intelligent man'...

[@gerardmontgomery280]

Being a tall bloke I'd have the S1000RR M edition 50th anniversary. Being skint though I'll keep what I've got.

I think it would b really good if u were to do another review on the same superbikes but judge them on reliability and cost of service , u can have the best superbikes for the track but r they really that good if ur having big end failures or cam shaft problems at 10,000 km's

[@ianvangordon6548]

Deff looking at the s1krr as NY next Nike to rip around but the ninja s1k is nice. Currently rolling on a 21 R-3

[@PilotlifePOV]

Bought a 22 S1K RR; sold it in less than 6 months. Rides well; EASY to ride but gave me issues from the start. Engine died twice on me while i was at an intersection and turning. This could have been deadly. Handle bar vibrates like crazy, unstable at high speeds; and plastics feel extremely cheap. Suspension is smooth and its a fast bike, but its very unreliable. My water pump failed not even 2 weeks of ownership and the bike was in the shop for over a month. Recommend Japanese bike or if you can afford it; the Panigale V4s. 18,500 miles on my Ducati and not a single issue. 2021 Panigale V4s.

[@Showmetheevidence-]

I used to race (so I think I’m a reasonably decent rider) and I wouldn’t buy a 1000 for the road. Too expensive for something I’d never be able to really ride and enjoy without going to a track. On a track day - different story - but on the road you can have more fun on a naked or middleweight bike (if you’re still going sports bike & not tourer).

[@sabywalleh2154]

What brake mods would you recommend for the r1

[@Peanutdenver]

If you want some real performers the Brembo Stylema monobloc calipers are a good choice, but you'll drop some serious coin on them($900-$1000 US). This doesn't include steel braided lines, pads and master cylinder for the fronts only.

[@MikeM-gd9hj]

[@davidciesielski8251]

Hi, I have a s1000rr m carbon I weigh 245 without gear, I did put a pipe on it that dropped 12 lbs. The electronic suspension is not to stiff but on the road it just bounces as it can't react fast enough...( you have to put in race pro to soften it up from dynamic) My bike makes 169 hp with a pipe and air filter (the 200 dollar one )..... If you have the torque optimization done by the dealer it goes FLAT at 10500 rpm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW it is another 1000 buck to get a tuner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM Fing pissed off!!!!!! I bought k tech tru rods and the better shock they sell. I really like the bike, BUT I wish I NEVER bough it. Over $40,000.00 is just stupid !!! Iam 63 and will not buy another bike. Thanks Dave

less and less of these bikes are sold because they are more and more aggressive and bad for the road, nothing like the 90's and early 2000's... In the past, many more sports bikes were sold, nowadays you can't even take a passenger, a pity...

[@janedubourg4837]

Why on earth would you want to carry a passenger?

Personal pick is RSV4 as it hurt my back(I'm 6ft 2) so much, reminding me I am on a crotch rocket all the time. Everything else just 200hp comfy sofas

100% Agree brother

[@MrBoggins1234]

I can agree- my 2015 S1000RR has just about all the electronics you can imagine. My 2022 S1000RR really just has modern updates of the same systems-- new quickshifter, new dash, new traction control, new ABS.

[@HeldIntegral]

What fancy crap do new bikes have that a 21 Gsxr1000r doesn't? If you don't want electronics then get the standard model from 2 decades ago.

[@nr1pimme]

I kinda miss the 00's when sportbikes were simpler. Been out of the loop for the last decade or so and it's pretty confusing with all the variants of the same model and the ridicilous pricing. Also the 600's seems to be gone, supply and demand I guess?

[@elonmusk9697]

I don't get why the 600's are disappearing. It makes no sense

[@philbarrett3739]

750's pretty much gone too. I don't think it'll be long before the so called 'litre bike' disappears too and we're all riding naked and adventure bikes.

[@rlsedition]

@@elonmusk9697 As the manufacturers chased race wins these 600s became more and more expensive, plus insurance for the (mostly) younger buyers became more expensive as well.

This is a comparison of superbikes, not 600's. Middleweights are doing fine, 600 class is the most popular, although I believe nakeds are more popular than sport bikes

[@neilsolomon9149]

Nice video, but ownership costs were not covered. In my country BMW is crazy expensive to maintain. Japanese still have the reliability factor and are affordable for the working man. Services, parts and repairs. ☘️

[@MrBoggins1234]

Yep

[@MrWolfgang1981]

How can one call a BMW "exotic"? These days the japanese bikes are the exotics in my opinion - here in Germany all the newer liter bikes are mostly BMW, Ducati or Aprilia - Japan has really fallen behind in technology and development, not only in MotoGP but also with their road bikes.

[@kmg8302]

Very informative. I also had a difficult time to choose in between BMW S1000RR Sport and Suzuki GSX-R1000R but ended up with S1000RR for having little more tech eg semi active suspension, TFT dash and active breaks etc. But no doubt that Suzuki is an excellent all rounder as well. And in Korea, GSX R1000R is 10-15% cheaper than BMW. So great value for money too. Cheers

[@MRR-qv3bw]

I've owned both and miss how easy my gsxr was to work on and the bike literally will treat you just as well as you treat it!

I have a 2020 S1000RR and its an incredible bike and super comfortable on road too.

[@atom608]

as someone that owned a few bikes a gsxr 600 and a yamaha r1 and rode heaps more the gsxr 600 just worked, was solid. No thrills or creature comforts but did the job as well as you would want it to. The yamaha's were a bit iffy sometimes and i had problems with my clutch on my r1

Even super stock bikes require a fairly big investment on top of the bike. So when you hear people bragging about how well their model did in bsb or wsbk it’s just deluded. They have a team of engineers, race engines, race suspensions, race brakes etc. that bike you see on tv is about as far from your bike as a wolf is to your Labrador lol.

[@TheJmebe]

Great summary of a bunch of bikes that are bordering on being irrelevant for road use. I do love sports bikes. Had several including zx7r, '04 Fireblade and a '15 S1000RR. Whilst the 7R wasn't setting the world alight with power, it was a great road bike. Satisfying to ride on road and track. The Fireblade felt on the limit of what power was remotely possible to use on the road. The RR tipped the balance and got rid within 6 months. Ironically, superb electronics and insane power, combine to make a bike that is video-game easy to just pin the throttle. Whilst this does allow the rider to focus on everything else, it doesn't stop the fact that you find yourself in two polar opposite ends of road riding: left feeling that you're pootling about using half revs and quarter throttle, or, you begin to feel that you're stretching it's legs, arriving home thinking - how am I (or others) still in one piece and will I be getting a brown envelope in the post in next two weeks ...worse, a knock on the door. let's have some great handling, usable sports bikes for the road that we can use and can afford.

I've been saying this for years. I'd take 130-150hp and a nice, usable torque curve over a 200hp revbox any time I'm not at a track. The Triumph looks about as close as you can get at the moment but I haven't tried one so can't say for sure. All this £25k for something that can't pull your gran under 10,000rpm is just daft.

[@TheJmebe]

@@siraff4461 totally agree 👍

[@Showmetheevidence-]

Actually nicely said. I used to race (so I think I’m a reasonably decent rider) and I wouldn’t buy a 1000 for the road. Exactly what you said - just never feel like you’ve “ridden” the bike without getting into ultra-dangerous arrest-me-or-die speeds.

[@Firestorm637]

Fantastic quick summaries. Professional racers can tell the difference as they are able to use 100% of the bikes capabilities. 99% of the rest of us would be happy on any of these bikes at any price point. It what pulls on your heart strings. Exclusive, exotics pull on my strings more than a generic Honda or Yamaha. European bikes have that extra moving art with stretching the tech.

I miss when bikes were simpler in the 2000-2010 era where it almost felt like it was literally just an engine, two wheels and yourself. Now with all the electronics it feels like a computer. I think the last of that golden era is the current gixxer. Just put gas and ride it. Not a fan of Suzuki but their bike is the only that feels like those golden days

[@stevedavies1261]

Well, some allow you to zero out almost all the electronics - not TC, WC, Acrive/semi active shocks, etc. etc... At 158-168 hp, you can still get sideways, but at 200 hp, it just happens that much quicker...

[@CptSlow89]

Suzuki shouldn't change the great looking old analog dashboard and replace it with this very basic and bad looking non colorful tft... If they could hold the analog+digital on Hayabusa with all the tech, they could do the same with GSXR...

[@gixerloon]

Love these vids, but +£20k for a modern superbike is just ridiculous, and you say the RSV-4 at £16,900 is cracking value, well maybe on PCP, but seriously,... I remember buying a new CBR1000RR in 2004 at £9,500 and I thought Fk/me thats the most I've ever spent on a bike, and looking back it will ever tbh... older bikes set up correctly and still just as capable in good hands and less than £10k, unless ones only goal is bullshiting at the local bike meet, then I'll stick with those thank you..

Those were cbr 1000rrs Gsxr 750 cbr 600rr, zx10r and my lovely tractor of a beast rc8r. These newer bikes are too cluttered and busy with bs I don’t need.

All Bikes having 200 HP or 200+ HP ... ONLY R1 : 197 HP R1 still did NOT reach 200 HP ( Double century 😢 ). atleast MINIMUM 200 HP should be given by YAMAHA to it's dear R1 .

[@fatsharks]

And, for most people who think they "need" a superbike, something like an R7 or an RS660 would be more than enough... At the liter bike level, for the average street rider, the differences between the bikes are kind of irrelevant. You'll never be able to use more than about 50% of the bike's true potential anyways, they're all way too much for you and for the street anyways. So save your money and potentially your life and get something a lot more sensible (first)

[@elphabama]

Thanks i have learnt a lot from watching this vid you have been spot on with your summary.😀

[@Showmetheevidence-]

I’d argue that a) go second hand cos you’ll get great bikes for way less. But b) if you want new… the base models are actually far better than all but the fast track day riders - you just pick the brand or looks you like really. Plus people throw some mods at it anyway.

[@mudwhistle74]

What I find interesting is the tuner shops that with no parts changed just stop the fly by wire butterflies closing at the top end with some reprogramming of the ecu and release so much power from the stock Japanese bikes. The Japanese bikes nearly all limit their own power with this method. I guess they have a reason? Just having that fixed by an ecu reprogrammed puts them back up with the European bikes power outputs.

[@CptSlow89]

Its funny how they say for 2021 superbike, terrible brakes :D and Im here on the 1990. VFR750F... how these would be compared to the ZX10R bad brakes lol :D

Thanks for this it has confirmed to me the BMW s1000rr sport is the best road going and value sports bike. It has by far the best usable tech. Add to this 3 years warranty, road side assist and up to 5 years fixed price servicing. Looks great as well.

[@markettradinggenius]

Michael, don't forget that for the Roadside Assistance, BMW does NOT charge any deductibles unlike all other roadside assistance programs from all other motorcycle brands; such as Ducati, which ONLY gives you "up to" $200 to have a tow truck pick you up as part of the roadside assistance. You have to pay everything else after that. So, if you get stuck on a tour and the nearest Ducati or other exotic dealership is 200 miles away you are screwed. But, their is NO limit distance for BMW. They pay for ALL of the towing no matter the distance ! That is considered a true 5 Star Service to the 'conscious intelligent man'...

I'm happy you said this, about the k67 bmw s1000rr sport.. being your number 1 bike.. given all the above details etc mentioned 😀 this is why i decided to buy the m1000r last year..still have both bikes today and always smiling..never been on a track..so some might say these bikes are wasted having not been used on a track

Gsxr for the reliability, these bikes are pretty much indestructible and they are cheap to fix and maintain.
