U WANNA BE A FUCKING MOVIE STAR?????

[@Dezagon]

The launch control is more for your fastfood drive through type of scenario then drag racing

[@jacobpatrickyoung9287]

That was pretty funny 😂

[@issorj3487]

Yer that's y it's slower cuz then if it was faster u would either ram someone up the ass or be waiting for ur food

[@strangefacekid]

Dezagon I'm sure this Bike has sooooo much more potential. I've just REALLY gotta learn how to use the launch control. Indeed...

[@Jason-zc6uo]

Dezagon lmao

[@enjoi543]

Sad part is is that there’s a lot of squids that use it because it’s faster then then trying to ride it in slick mode

[@henrywoodcraft8724]

Rip motofrogger

[@garrymactavish2964]

Hey Tom!, I am a big fan of your videos for years. I have had my licence for just about 1 year and for my 49th birthday went to the drags at Perth Motor plex for my first time ever on my 2014 Zx14r . I had five runs on the night , first run was 10.29 secs my second run was my best of the night with 10.18 secs.

[@Motofrogger]

I counted 2 - 1 to the ducati. "It don't matter if you win by an inch or a mile, winnings winning!"

[@OfficerDucky]

Moto Frogger RIP moto frogger

[@underdose93]

That launch control sounds absolutely insane!

[@TRX450RVlogger]

Holy Shit, That Cruiser was fucking booken.

[@RidingWithTom]

+TRX Vlogger yeah man, super charged v rod

[@husky701rider9]

TRX VLOGGER ya cruisers can make a lot of power but they don't have the handling to back it up. You'll drag peg quickly if you go to quick into a corner. I'd never build a cruiser with that much power I'd be worried I'd crash it on a twisty road.

[@TRX450RVlogger]

Ian Jacob Yeah true! lol

[@johnjacob688]

You would be surprised at how fast a cruiser can attack the twisties. The reason you don't see it much is because guys that typically ride cruisers aren't in it to put a knee down.

[@partyplace15]

TRX VLOGGER Vrods have about 130 ft lbs of torque right off an idle. Not to be fucked around with.

[@PistonSlap]

Awesome video...That Vrod was crazy fast out of the hole.

[@axelsantermans]

Iam a bmw fan but i didnt expect a s1000rr go THIS fast, holy moly! Nice video, wheelie and motorcycle dude! I liked this video.

[@MrOutdoors007]

Don't start in the middle of the freaking track!!!! Move to the side!

[@MrOutdoors007]

Don't EVER ride in the center! Oil and everything else that comes out of a car goes there. If you pull that front brake to hard your going down in an instant.

[@Max-vq9xd]

He's a shitty rider anyway. He's just rich and can afford. Who the fuxk rides whilst constantly covering the front brake. It's dangerous and less control

[@TJBssc]

***** What does make you think that someone with a 15k dollar bike is rich? It's cheaper than a brand new Civic...

[@MrOutdoors007]

Hey keyboard warriors, stop fighting. I don't think anyone wants anything, especially a guy named Max. I wouldn't say he is RICH, but he definitely has money. When you buy a $10,000 bike, then an $18,000 bike, then your WR back, you have some money. Some poor guy cant just pull $30,000+ out of his ass. Now quit fighting, I don't think anyone wants to see it

[@JeffNoel]

MrOutdoors007 He might also be a guy with a lot of debts right now. Who says he bought the bike with cash money? Might be on financing for all we know.

[@TheBeastlyIguana]

That v-rod was brutal off the line

[@Slipprymongoose]

Just yesterday M13 was mentioning you and there you are at the drags being youtube famous. The more I sit on 2015 s1krr's the more I want one.

[@WarMachineMotovlogs]

Get one mate. You wont be disappointed

[@XCSEDAN]

***** well seeing as your up for a new bike? eh... eh...?

[@Theogmessy]

You should definitely test ride a s1000r.

[@Slipprymongoose]

Already have, video soon

[@giveitarub7215]

2:37 Heey thats a better launch!... And there goes the cruiser lol

[@HackyHD]

Dude, your wheelies!

[@HackyHD]

*****

[@21javante]

Tom.. Your start was SOO much quicker and looked smoother with no electronics! So dope

[@RedLineRevsRLR]

That's cute my 125 does sub 8 second runs...

[@jaradkreidl6348]

That's quick! But remember his bike is stock, If he worked it it would be crazy!!

[@RedLineRevsRLR]

Jarad Kreidl Not sure if you actually believed me or not lol

[@jaradkreidl6348]

Ohhh... Imma leave now hahaha

[@RedLineRevsRLR]

Jarad Kreidl beastly 125 lol

[@jaradkreidl6348]

Hahaha! Built not bought 125

[@lucasfisher3202]

RidingWithTom loved it .s1000rr dream bike

[@phranko7634]

R.I.P MotoFrogger...

[@wuxushalion]

Yea man as soon as I heard motofrogger im like fuckkkkkkkkk

[@nilstancabag695]

was he riding the panigale 1199? RIP

[@JoeGo101]

10s thats not bad :D

[@FJ1903]

+JoeGo101 i love u m8

[@JoeGo101]

+FJ1903 :D

[@kester135]

my launch control is the mk1 wrist and finger tips, and my quick shiftier is a late model central nervous system

[@dalecross19]

Fair play for doing it with no aids. I just had a day out doing this on Sunday, watched this video a few times beforehand. I just kept mine in Race all day so I could focus on the start, haven’t used Launch Control and didn’t want to do it for the first time not knowing what to expect in front of loads of people 😂 Came away with a 10.261 @ 144

[@movieclips1831]

My first love 😍 S1000RR 🔥

[@NJtriple7]

That V-Rod is SAVAGE! I really want one in the future.

[@WEONLYTAKEDUBS]

Best bike you ever had miss these vlogs

[@JackSwatman]

What was the time without electronics??

[@tommyshelby6247]

I've always been a big fan of motorcycles but watching your vlogs for the past 2 years has given me the push to go for my learners permit tomorrow! So excited! (Worst timing ever though in the middle of exams and have an exam the day after I'm yet to study for FML @ Monash uni).

[@tommyshelby6247]

Tommy Shelby I passed :D

[@christopheb1279]

Gj man

[@JoshHarrisPOV]

The looks those people were giving you at 11:50 xD

[@WarMachineMotovlogs]

Need to change that exhaust mate. Good video though.

[@sappobbg]

that S1000RR is a sic bike.... love the specs on this.

[@ConnorGrove1998]

Been waiting for a video like this again. Keep up the great vids

[@gargantus5]

Love some drag runs i know that had to sketch you out with that wheel lift on the 3rd run!

[@NubbyTV101]

This bike is a weapon. Top video.

[@ryanreid3523]

Great vid mate. S1000 RR is a beast love the way you can keep the throttle nailed while going up the gear. Good racing mate 👍

[@bjexter4627]

the battle of the century

[@TheVilouboy]

I could be wrong (still riding ANALOG GSXR) but think your launch control was fighting your traction control. Shouldn't your TC be turned off?

[@brandonstannard7644]

It is a beautiful bike 😍

[@bobjohnson2920]

I finally got the opportunity to run my 2016 RR. Made 3 passes. 11.09 11.300 and a 10.80. Full leathers, Helmet and boots 280lbs. 3/4 tank of fuel. I also forgot to pull the mirrors back, every little thing helps. This was my first time running the quarter on a motorcycle. Even with my fat ass on there I think it's possible to run 9's with some tweaking. I didn't even try slick mode. I pulled a raging wheelie my first run in race mode, the front end never touched the ground until after the 1/8 mile mark. It's never done that on the street in race mode.

[@tryxlr8m8]

Awesome video! Thanks Tom! I had a play with Launch control on the road! Funny as, all it did was psych out the other bikes, semi-stall but still blitz them in an odd way! Will take some getting used to! Fun video though m8! Enjoyed that! Thanks

[@AXEKICK2YODOME]

These videos are awesome. It would be great if you went to the strip regularly as you did performance upgrades just to see the differences.

[@jrTall26]

Nice runnin RidingWithTom

[@Mcali1984]

Definitely subbed.. One of few people I enjoy on a bike.. Cheers..

[@zinnyc6757]

Man I am at 0:12 and already excited as heck... can't wait...

[@Kirakat]

You should stage inside the line of the Drag cars Rubber marks. There's a reason Every drag car puts its tires in one 2 foot strip on the track :P More rubber on the track more grip,

[@samsamaripa6840]

another great video tom thank;s again your the man.

[@biketimist6943]

Dem electronics is massive! But nothing beats a old fashion drag-start without any aid ;)

Needs more grip! Traction control bogs it down because your tire isn't warm and grippy enough?

[@AUSSIEBUTTERSXD]

absolutely fucking insane .... I WANT A LITER BIKE FUCKKKKK

[@MyTruckstop]

What was your best 60 foot time. Good runs but the last run without aids kind of bogged down. So much power on the top end. Almost 30 years my stock FJ1200 did 11.15s, 60 foot time 1.60 9,000 rpm launch with a slipping clutch. A better and much lighter rider on his FJ1100 was at 11.50s although the top speeds where 30 mph slower than you are running. These new bikes have so much power to handle at launch. Nice video.

[@philtaylor3098]

That was very enjoyable to watch. Well done dude.

[@jimmywoods1906]

did you let the clutch out fast or slow

[@tmaxxgod4]

Damm almost brotha. I love my red 2015 S1000RR :)

[@garthdillon6819]

I wish had of known that you were at the heathcote drags I live right near there

[@pmrjimsacramentoca503]

I have the same bike in black (3 weeks old, You should do a video on the 800 miles).You should do a video on your take ,and how to setup of the slick mode.....Great job.

[@MUSCLEBIKER]

i watched whole video. it was very educational video. thanks mate.

[@1965randyorton]

was waiting for this!

[@JoeJoeMoto]

SO MUCH FUN!!! I love drag racing, but haven't done any on a bike before, only in cars. What are the S1000RRs supposed to run stock on paper?

[@Cd2579]

***** did you notice the people behind the fence around the end of video? They were looking at you like, "what the hell is he talking to?" Lol

[@midibudu]

that rvf is one of my dreambikes

[@PokeHut]

That night rod was taking the piss!!!

[@ESPSJ]

Lol the two at the end were like wtf are you doing

[@gregedwardsMBA]

Nice to know what my S1000RR might do, and my V-Rod if/when I boost it. ..

[@stuarthunter115]

G day mate, My 2013 R1 runs 10 flat. and my zx14R runs mid 9's, i was very surprised to hear your results as i know many with your bike that can pull off much better time, maybe you need more practice.

[@ReshardsAutomotiveWorkshop]

Great video. Thank you.

[@_droid]

How are they staging you? It doesn't look like you're using the light sensors. Or maybe your are? That can make a huge difference in 60-foot times.

[@RidingJapan]

in all for turning off the electronics.I'm not against abs xD but all that other fancy stuff? was fun watching this.thanks for sharing

[@xAdamLeex]

That looks so much fun :) i hope i could ride a bmw bike someday .

[@Fitfo281]

Sweet vid man

[@jookie2542]

this guy sounds like a really nice guy

[@tspellmon]

More videos like this please

[@Bogmired]

I just creamed myself. All these bikes in this video are soooo sick!

[@MrAwkwardx]

Mr. Phantasm true

[@Enduro_NY]

just letting u know Tom but u prob already know but M13 is in Australia so i think u should go visit him if u can that would be cool

[@123kion]

At the very end of your clutch release you let it go a bit too quick and the revs drop a bit too low once your clutch is fully released, cause a delay and drop in power. Suppose its easier said than done. 10.3 is decent.

[@stanstanxxx]

didnt you do 10.3 with good old 2008 cbr1000rr with no quick shifter and now launch control???

[@zxtenn]

Still impressive times for a dead stock bike-Are the BMW clutches able to handle drag strip runs?

[@ZonixxPaladin]

oh my god, turn on the subtitles for a couple of minutes.. i haven't laughed so hard in a long time :'D

[@bootsinthebreeze6001]

Great vid bruv...keep em coming..

[@HEKTIC458]

Sick video!

[@motooutlaw8557]

Good stuff bruh lov this vid ! Keep em rollin !

[@polr1256]

Good vid! by the way if u keep practicing with the bmw s1000rr you can do it at 9,8!

[@patiencewrapp2785]

Weird how similar we are. I also did 10.1 on my previous bike & 10.3 on the 15 bmw.

[@tomelliott2741]

Good racing

[@bryannicoll8100]

Wow that rvf400 is only 3 seconds slower than the bmw. I wish they still built 400 superbikes.

[@SpearWarrior671]

that vrod is crazy fast!!!

[@jurzyjohner432]

Do you still have this bike and know the difference between this one and the 2018?

[@TheRudolf82]

Hi Tom, Your 2015 S1000RR has, in this video, any device to increase performance like Power Commander, sport exhaust system, or your 2015 S1000RR is fully stock in this video, because it seems very strong in this video. Thanks

[@KrOmEiFiCaTiOn]

I believe his bike is completely stock aside from cosmetic changes.

[@CJ80ish]

Would it help to wind those gears all the way out? Quick bike none the less

[@therealmrcheese]

damn when you landed that wheelie and all I see is that Hugh ass tree!! man that would of been nasty!!

[@EachHitPunk]

what a sweet view man....right on 👍

[@whyUshoudkill]

That was so cool, nice job!

[@stevefowler1787]

You actually need to know how to ride to get the S1KRR into the 9's....I launch my with no traction control, in slick mode and at about 9,000 rpm (a former AMA Expert license holder...2012 S1000RR with full off road Austin Racing inconel exhaust, a PCV and dyno tuned by a WSBK mechanic/tuner...my best run is a 9.74 at sea level in Orlando Fl. in the winter)

[@justintanio1197]

Tom make a new video mcdonalds drive thru,but carry a backpack because the happy meal ruined the speed of the bmw s1000rr :)

[@coloradodirtbike5930]

This BMW is amazing. I need one right awayb👍👌☺

[@johndaltrocanto]

This machine is bloody fast

[@irujose11]

do you get paid if you win these drag races mate? or just for the thrill of riding?

[@mylesonthemove880]

great stuff bro love it

[@vesania5319]

Which run shocked you more, 2014 or this one ?

[@nazhif1]

Considering the 1199 doesn't have launch control & antiwheelie I'm quite impressed with it. BTW Tom can you bring back 60 fps?

[@Jixell]

Oooo look a skyline at the strip too

[@JamesTheBiker]

Nice mate!

[@carlosestradaestrada1472]

Yeah bro it also might've had to do with the fact that your tires may not have been warm enough and may have not have had enough grip.
