Yamaha R1M - An Everyday Bike?

Turning into a bit of a series here with the 'everyday' vibe on a luxury race bike. The R1M, its the fastest (IMO), but what about a trip into the traffic infested shittery that is London?

I also apologise for my constant referral to a "Super Sports Bike" - i mean SUPERBIKE. Super Sports, in the UK anyway normally refers to 600cc class.

[@daithilacha1]

Yet another eminently watchable , funny and real world practical review from the Maestro.

[@willsab28]

Another video. Thanks Baron for keeping me entertained through tough times.

[@BaronVonGrumble]

+One Man And His Bike thanks for watching :)

[@jboozey1]

BaronVonGrumble don't know if yoiuve stated it in a previous video but how does the r1 and r1m I your opinion compare to the s1000rr?

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

Witty, informative, and articulate. You're helping remove the disdain I feel about most youtube motorcycle blogs one video at a time. Cheers.

[@matt-zr6zs]

man , my heart was beating each time you , were cutting through London traffic nice to see London through a bikers perspective and a very awesome bike man that's some power

[@SuperAnthony1982]

Your analogy about the bike having a job to do but not liking you gave me a laugh. I envision sitting on it doing the whole I love my bike while it's pi**ed just wanting to go.

[@LambChopRides]

Where did you borrow it from Mr B?

[@apiwatbob]

as far as I've searched every where,your video is the only one with folding mirrors to get through traffic. I live in Bangkok and the traffic is hectic. Thanks so much for showing this point out so clear!

[@LexFitness]

3am - I was going to bed...... shouldn't have checked for New Videos :) You Sir shall be the source of my morning British Crankiness

[@nanaoseiboateng3851]

Where you at.

[@ArthurSperotto]

Great video, Baron. I know I have now posted several comments like this and never gotten a reply, but I believe you're reading them, so it's alright. I am so happy with the new frequency of uploads, mate. It makes me so happy to see a notification that you uploaded a video, and even more so when I see it's a 19 minute video. I literally cooked dinner after seeing the notification to eat as I watched this video. Thank you so much for all the awesomeness, mate. And even more importantly, it makes me so happy to see that you're happy. All the best wishes, Arthur.

[@BaronVonGrumble]

+Arthur Sperotto thanks Arthur :)

[@EvolutionMotovlogs]

What's going on Baron, just a quick question for you. Your thumbnails are generally from a moving shot in the video - for example, filtering between vehicles. Do you go through the 60fps footage produced by the drift and save the image? The reason I ask is because your thumbnails are always very clear/good quality and considering get the Ghost S. Saving a frame from 30fps footage comes out terrible for me.. (Drift HD 1080P) and considering get the Ghost S.

[@BaronVonGrumble]

+EvolutionMotovlogs every thumb i ever generate is from the video. Its a bit of a rule i have - i HATE it when they are different. The only one i did do was the 1199 everyday video, but that was a while back ;) Yes, i screen grab it from the raw video - not sure what to advise you - 60fps and 30 makes little difference. Actually, i think 30 could be better as less motion blur..

[@EvolutionMotovlogs]

OCD Kicking in there eyy, I've seen that you've got a few which aren't from the video hehe! We are much alike though, I ALWAYS use a screenshot from the footage in relation to the title - makes sense right ;)? However my problem is they don't usually come out in great quality and very blury. (1080p 30fps footage). Yours seem to be crystal clear and presumed if that was down to Ghost S (since there are more frames). Anyway, if you go on to my channel you will see what I am referring to with my thumbnails! If you've got a spare second, check a video out and drop some feedback. Would be appreciated man! :D

[@s13nicotrico]

oi baron - what you think is faster in a straight line 0-top speed 2015 S1000RR or R1M?

[@stewartmcintyre4431]

Thanks for your view point. It was nice to see you go through city traffic as well.

[@greggotaway2332]

I believe you've just about talked yourself into buying this machine Baron. i look forward to the video where you reveal your new R!! Please keep the GS as well as I do love your trips through the Alps. :)

[@KingOfBanks]

Love seeing Barnes/Hammersmith pass by in all these vids, gives me a nostalgia wheelie-feelie

[@TheGh02t]

I have no idea what we did but thank you for all the inflow of videos later Mr Baron. Keep up the awesome work and loving the videos!!

[@Turbo_Tractors]

Is it legal to ride this way?? I'm from AUS so riding like that here would get you in serious trouble... I know all countries are different though.

[@jamie3499]

I thought filtering was legal on Aus?

[@ianmitchell9102]

Wow watching this in 2022, I remember the good old days when Hammersmith bridge was open and petrol was only £1.25 per litre. Nice bike, great review

[@tigerjim6077]

Great video Baron. Makes me think of it as the BSA DBD34 Goldstar of today, built for going fast. If you could find somebody who would lend you one to compare it to and see how superbikes have developed/changed over the years that would be awesome. Other bikes like the original Triumph Bonneville T120, the Honda CB750 and things like the Kawasaki H2 750 and then moving eventually to get to the 1999 R1 and Ducati 916 e.t.c. That would be a cool series to watch

[@VYD239]

Insane how great the weather is in this video, particularly when you notice the date. Looks like a spring morning.

[@ChrisJohn_444]

I just bought a base 2015 model. Rode it for about a total of 4 hours and already love it. Came with a full Yosh system and an FT quickshifter/auto-blipper. Throttle definitely takes a bit of getting used to because of the momentary delay, but it's nice not to have to be millimetrically precise - just twist and trust the electronics. First gear is unnecessarily long, maxing out at 162km/h, and I think they did it for statistical considerations - 0-100mph without having to change gear, shaves fractions off that common benchmark...RSV4 has the same kind of long first gear. I have my first track day on it at the end of February and I'm beside myself from excitement.

[@ChrisJohn_444]

Funny that I bought mine, just as you sold yours. :D

[@BikerDarren24]

I do love that R1M but I still like my 09 R1 for now, great feeling bike and still perfect for our shite roads in the UK, maybe in a few years when they come down in price a bit aswell. :)

[@stephenmorgan5100]

You certainly have city riding nailed impressed, haven't got a bike anymore but this video just makes me want one if only for city riding. Amazing looking bike, great video :-)

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

Rainy evening indoors. Time for throwback Baron Von Grumble videos

[@TheFireblade1000RR]

Love how you just ride where and when you want.. law, what law? Also you're funny as fudge mate...

[@VadersDarkside]

Baron! I need advice. Do I part ex my 2023 MT-10SP for a 2017 R1M? 4000 miles vs 900. Hows the handling of the older R1M vs the newer Ohlins SV. Will I notice a difference? I bloody love the MT but my motorcycle ADHD gets the best of me sometimes. It'll be used as a daily. Thoughts?

[@therdgenrx7]

one of the more informative and well explained reviews I've seen on the bike. good video, thanks for sharing. I did noticed your thoughts and feelings about the bike changed a bit from the first review but that is to be expected with more seat time. Now I just need to make the wife think I need one. lol

[@MysteriousLabyrinth]

Thanks for the London tour,i havnt been there for about 28 years,i am more of a bicycle type of guy although i did have a moped derbi variant which i souped up in spain but i enjoy this vid for sure cheers geez.

[@Sirmellowman]

there are a few pretty important things you missed about the non m to the m version. one thing is there are some lighter bits in the motor that help it rev quicker on the M

[@mrslade2128]

I approve of these reviews Mr Baron! Jealousy mode engages every time and I shout "lucky c*unt" and "bastard" a lot, but overall they are great! Keep 'em coming kind sir. Many Thanks, Mark

[@AwareWolfOnWheels]

I really like indicators in mirrors too, I wish my K2 had them.

[@JoshW1887]

Great to see the bike reviews again and the inevitable BaronVonCold. Love the videos :D

[@andrewstanhope6862]

Every Yamaha that I've owned even my old ttr90 has been cold blooded but as soon as there warm there just lovely machines that just wanna impress

[@MB-tb3nc]

Hi Baron I'm looking for a new streetbike. Only 1 to 2 trackdays a year. Which one do you think is the best. Yamaha R1M 2015 or BMW s1000rr 2017? :-)

[@landrus]

On the how sexy that bike looks: if you deck it out fully with the Giles levers, rearset kit, foot pegs and the amazing and intimidating Acropovic Slip on this bike looks sexier than anything else.

[@AJHDuk]

A beacon that shoots into space saying: "Steal me!" ... Epic! ... I parked up in front of Metropolis in Vauxhall and was constantly worried someone would steal it... London for you.

[@michaelovitch]

Drive by wire is crap. I hate the idea of not being connected to the machine i'm supposed to control. moreover it's laggy.

[@HypermaxZ]

+michaelovitch Unfortunately, you are the minority as well as me when it comes to that opinion. Seems like everyone and their grandmas love the electronic do it all malarkey. Reason why I'm buying bikes that are older and less computer intrusive. Even the ABS on my 13' cbr1000rr was shit and did more harm than help.

[@michaelovitch]

+HypermaxZ  peoples are sheep,and watch too much tv. The customer have only what manufacutrers want to give to him after a nice brainwashing. You can see a shit load of horse power and expensive parts and a shit load of devices allowing the customer to use the bike without killing himself because he would be unable to control the bike. who needs 200 hp ? who use the bike at its full capabilities ? nobody 99% of the peoples make few thousand miles with their bike ,and don't even use it the whole year,to roll 70 on the freeway ? that's fucking bullshit. On the hayabusa there even a control on power ,wich is reduced by something like 30 hp if you loose traction. guys in dragsters are obliged to remove the second set of flappers in the intake otherwise they loose time because of the burnout.... it's just to sell, year aftter year useless wasted bad taste technology for average peoples we are. i prefer my 75 hp bike wich I control from a to z.

[@ThorVeras]

+michaelovitch Keep your opnion to yourself. Sheep ? More sheep is you to think eletronics are a bad thing. Try fly a jet without eletronics. Better, try to fly a supersport moto with 200hp without eletronics. You can ? Cool, but to do that you need proper training. Eletronics are the future, eletronics connect you more with the bike than if they are not on the bike. You can control your suspension via eletronics, control your abs control your leaning angle everything can be adjusted in the run by eletronics. Or you can take 1 2 4 hours on a garage trying to set it up everytime you want to change your settings. Wanna race on an R1M ? Ok just make a few clicks on the painel and boom, optimal racing for all the bike. Wanna commute ? Few clicks BOOM. Is ready for less consumption less power, more traction control. Be able to ride old bikes without eletronics dont make you ''bad ass'', just make you trained at that thing, so dont ignore the fact that eletronics make your riding experience better, you keep less worried about bumbs, sand and other stuff on the road because ddc/traction control and other stuff. And your riding experience you can focus more wherever you want. Eletronics are the future. I would like to always have option to turn it of like on s1000rr have. But, mostly of the time i dont want to think about my traction or other shty...

[@michaelovitch]

+ThorVeras do you realize traction control =less hp abs = less braking power etc... you control less and less things while you think you do. peoples don't need all that while they are not even able to use their bike normally at legal speeds without. they sell you a 200 hp bike but they add devices to help you to not crash it too soon.

[@ThorVeras]

michaelovitch ''they add devices that help you to not crash it too soon'' Where is the bad thing on that frase ? Is so wrong about the abs, abs give you perfect braking, if you are off roading of course i would turn off the abs, but them who off road a s1000rr 200hp motorcycle ? And this is not and Abs, is an Abs pro with leaning angles, every single condition but clear road will be better. Like raining, sand, dust and other stuff on the road. About the traction control is true, cut the power so help your traction, but that is a bad thing ? even so you can disable it... But even without disable i never ever saw a video of someone crashing a bmw s1000rr with all eletronics on....

[@sk2283]

HI BVG, Just wondered how you rate the bike, is everything still rosey a year on ? I am considering a change from my RSV4 APRC ABS very soon and as demo's are like hens teeth. I was going to get a newer RSV4 RF or R1m or...... maybe an MV f3 800 - have you ridden an F3 800 ?? too many great bikes out now !

[@sk2283]

PS should say it's a toy, got 3 bikes all toys - I don't commute !

[@jackka82]

Is riding like this in the city considered normal? Weaving in between and cutting cars off at every possible chance?

[@jackka82]

+Jacob Mantzaris Wow, I simply asked if this is considered normal and you call me a jackass? lmao, how ironic. You obviously have shit for brains. Let's recap what genius words you spoke that doesn't answer my question at all: 1. It's safer to cut in front of cars from the sides while stuck in traffic(sure, Einstein). 2. and the bike is much faster than cars(so, faster vehicles should weave and cut in and out of traffic jams because they're faster?). 3. and the only other option to cutting off other cars would be to tailgate them(yes, because you seem to have a mental condition). How do you manage to live with the level of intelligence you have? Get some help, man.

[@jackka82]

+Jacob Mantzaris Haha, how is my response RANDOM insults when it's directly recapping the comments you made? A random insult would be if I said you were a fat, ugly fuck. You have yet to explain how it's actually safer to weave in and out of traffic jams and cut cars off. Which is not even what I asked about in the first place. You just keep saying that it's safer on the grounds that it's legal, even after I've explained how lane-splitting is different from what I was asking about. Oh, and I actually am a motorcycle rider, just not a retarded one.

[@jackka82]

+Jacob Mantzaris Really, he's not cutting cars off? What do you call 04:12 08:59 10:29 11:17 12:01 13:08 etc. He's putting his bike into other vehicles' paths and either making them brake and/or coming within inches of the front or sides of their cars. Let's not call that cutting cars off, because, fuck it, you're Einstein. I showed you an example of a random insult because you claimed that my response was full of random insults, when they weren't random at all. Too bad you're too dumb to even understand the difference. Why would you cry like a baby about insults anyway? If you feel offended by insults, maybe you should have thought about that before you made your first comment. lol You're the one who needs to learn road rules if you think that lane-splitting is just chucking your bike into the paths of other drivers. Enjoy the inevitable wreck you're going to get yourself into because you lack the proper brains to understand your impact on the drivers around you.

[@jackka82]

izaLitha I'm 99% sure that I'm smarter than you are, but whatevs lol

[@t8283287]

jackka82 I agree this fella is riding like a dick.....but you expect nothing more from southerners in this country......that bike will never get past 3000 rpm.

[@Tbark24Vlogs]

Cracking video!! Probably one of the best videos I've seen for this bike :) good job!

[@BaronVonGrumble]

+Tbark24 Vlogs thanks bud :)

[@JamesTrimbee]

Another vlogger (JakeTheGardenSnake) argued recently the big obstacle with Superbikes on the road: If you're having any fun on them, you're breaking the law, because they just don't want to know any slower than that. I can tell you like it.

[@TheBakeryism]

+James Trimbee He's not wrong but if you are someone that likes the track then you like the SS bikes but in reality they are not made for the road.

[@wheeliewonka721]

supermotos are pretty much the same but instead of speed there are wheelies stoppies and any kind of hooliganism

[@TheDatpussy]

+Alessandro Manica yoooo I never thought of that holy shit that's so true.

[@wheeliewonka721]

+McMuffinFluffin I realized that as soon as I hopped on my ktm hahaha

[@Mort221]

Baron, you seem to be doing quite a few of these test rides recently. Will you do any rides of bikes that are lower down the food chain? I'm looking to do my A2 in Spring and not sure what bike to look at.

[@phillippugh2161]

love the city shots of you on the r1 that was a blast

[@TaterGrabbinBass]

I need A NEW JIZZ MACHINE sticker! I think those should still be made and sold with the same color options and font. I need that chrome Jizz Machine sticker. I had a chrome and gold one but that was YEARS ago on my s1000rr...

[@MindBlowerWTF]

What a time to be alive Baron! There is so many great bikes! 1299 Panigale, R1M, S1000RR. But what about RCV213? Any chances You will get to sit on it?

[@MrHaymaker]

The penile metaphors were spot on. Great vid Baron

[@MOTOUK1]

I reckon you would be suited for your main road bike for buzzing about you should have the MT10SP with full Akropovic and woolich Ecu flash and blipper, launch control like mine. If you ever want to borrow it for a few days let me know 👍

[@jackalfox332]

I'm after a new 1,000cc+ machine, apparently there's rumours that Triumph have an all new radically designed, bonkers looking, spec'd to the core 1050cc Daytona (R) Supersports coming for 2016, if that doesn't happen then I might seriously consider the R1M. Man, it looks and sounds the part! Keep the cool videos coming, Baron. Safe riding! :)

[@Gingerpowell98]

Love That Bike So Much. I have a Yamaha YZF R125, 2015 plate on it, in Race Blue !!!

[@TheSpectre223]

Nice vid Baron. This bike strikes me as a track bike you don't need a trailer to get to the circuit with, and anything more than that is just pointless, in the same way you could use a surgeon's thermal scalpel to cut up your steak in the evening, but you just.. don't

[@GRINGEzZ]

"Just don't accelerate and be a dick" fuck that's usually my first thought in the rain, oh look at this slippery ground would be a shame if i were to... PULL MY WRIST BACK AS FAST AS POSSIBLE AHHH!!!! And I'm dead.

[@luftwaffa1094]

The tyres that come with the bike,BATTLAX RACING STREET RS10 TYPE-R . If you are very careful, are you able to ride with them in the wet?

[@itsmeericb]

Good video! Are you sure about the R1 being the fastest production bike (non turbo or supercharged)? I think the BMW S1000RR or Ducati Panigale V4 are one of the fastest.

[@BaronVonGrumble]

This video was made 5 years ago.......

[@Tallmannfive]

how tall are you? im 6foot4 thinking of getting a r1m but not sure if its to small for i currentoy have a s1000rr 2016 and tye size of that is fine for me even tho i look big on it lol what do you think?

[@feloniouscainage4322]

Always look forward to these! Another great video!

[@everalldoris]

this is my miss account . But I was wondering what's the difference in performance, handling ,and just usability of a gsxr1000k7 -k8 which I no you had one .To the modern sports bikes like bmw s1000rr or r1 2015 etc. is it a big leap forward and would it be noticeable on the road or not . I'm new to your site and I no its a old bike.

[@CDKB27]

hey Baron, interested on your thoughts on this; you say you would learn to live with the r1 as an everyday bike, despite its niggles, but a while ago when you test rode the 1199 you felt it was too fast and too extreme as a road bike? (leading to your 899 purchase) as they both are very track focused bikes, what makes you more open to owning an r1 now and not that 1199 back then? cheers bruv

[@BaronVonGrumble]

+Craig Bentley because its waaaaay better on track than the 1199 and its got a vagueness about it. Interestingly the 1299 however is a fantastic road bike - IMO 2 quite different machines that look near identical.I wouldn't buy an R1M as a road bike, i want it for track :)

[@JamesBond-yq7st]

Craig Bentley the difference is Yamaha paid him and Ducati didn't want to

[@roadsonboard]

Good rounded view and I must say, lovely bike!! I'm sure you have you have filtered past me a times on your GSXR but I'll definitely know if it you should I see you this beast.

[@whma0801]

Great video and review! Keep up the amazing work baron!

[@sivonparansun]

Baron I am really Curious about what are your thoughts on the 2015 geneeration R1/R1M vs the S1000rr as a daily/fun bike (track considerations and track performance as considered only as a secondary criteria) Was Really thinking about picking up an S1k but the new R1 and Zx10 seem to offer so much of the same features

[@CajunGreenMan]

I must say I'm VERY impressed with your ability to sum up the emotional appeal and categorize bikes. I ride. Aesthetics are irrelevant to me. I have a 1999 KLR 650. You're probably feeling ill reading that. Your creative industries training has given you a stunning ability to communicate the flavor and visual visceral appeal of bikes FAR better than your average bike reviewer. Again, irrelevant to me, I only do dual sports bikes, I'm all about utility. But still impressive. Keep up the great bike reviews!

[@BaronVonGrumble]

+Jeff Cobb thanks :) You may then enjoy this article I wrote with words and things on this very bike: 44teeth.com/yamaha-r1m-beautiful-darkness/

[@jarjarlol]

@BaronVonGrumble is the throttle jerky like the 09-14 is? Mine acts the same way.

[@laktoweiz]

The yamaha r1m is the most comfiest everyday bike that has been released in the last 2 decades! even comfier than a postie bike

[@JoeGo101]

I want the new R1 sooooo bad :D :D :D

[@davidchau7242]

baron whats your opinion on 600cc v 1000cc for everyday riding not sure if u have done any videos of r6 v r1 etc

[@Ben-jm8hi]

I daily my 2009 zx6r i only travel 6 miles to work but i could ride it all day long, yeah a upright naked bike would be more comfortable but its my only bike and it does everything very well, commuting to work, going to the shops, going out with my mates.

[@vinsabr9901]

is the seating position on this very extreme? i have a bmw s1000r super naked..

[@DirtyWeekendsAway]

Sounds like scooterbro's are the same everywhere D: I had one break off my indicator trying to squeeze his bike in a gap between me and another bike. I actually needed that room to stand the bike UP to get it out of the spot as well...

[@SJCB27]

As a car-less lover of superbikes; I am really enjoying the very informative "Everyday Bike?" series. At the risk of mass-castigation from your cool-dude audience; might I request comments on the luggage system for future episodes in this series?

[@sokegame8788]

This is the way..owned a 09 R1 and took a little bit of concentration at first for throttle but afterwards never a issue

[@jaydenperko7591]

I was expecting a BLOODY DOUBLE DECKER kind of intro :) but besides that very good review Baron

[@DUB6MOTO]

great explanation of the lil tricks, tips. great video

[@Joshdd]

Some say if you say Double bloody decker three times in the dark in front of a mirror baron would appear.

[@Antphelpsee]

Jizztastic. Is there any way you could do a comparison between this and Kawasaki's H2R? Also any chance you could do a video on blippers, and how they work etc.? Keep up the awesome videos mate!

[@BaronVonGrumble]

+Antphelpsee i really want to get hold of an H2.... and blippers, im probably not the right person to explain technicalities of it - all i know its super awesome ;)

[@simes007us]

Probably the best bike reviews on the interwebs

[@zachfriedman]

Im gonna get this as my first bike

[@FernandoT8]

So, you ride in the city, away from the city, and in sometimes inclement weather - any chance you could go over your standard choice of gear? (Choice of jacket, shoes, gloves). Really enjoy your channel which I recently discovered. Cheers!

[@johndoe-im9fr]

I'm looking at getting the R1S and leave it in D mode most of the time. i have less than 7 month about 3 months on a 650 and i just want a proper sport bike not a cruise/sporty bike. since it only uses 40% power and weighs less than the r6 and is only two grand more. and i can work my way up slowly over the years/months. is this a reasonable idea?

[@ajaj4747]

I really dont think D mode reduces to 40% power

[@MrSimonfoz]

Totally agree mate my Ducati is shit in town and lives on the clutch but i forgive it all that because i just love it !

[@LockieNZ]

If you think a litre 4 banger is a bit gutless and hard to manage down low, I'd love to see you review the 4 Japanese 250cc 45hp 4 bangers from 1989-1990!

[@matojxr1]

Things are that bad in London that you dont want to ride other than the gs??

[@R1Mc]

thanks for wetting my appetite a little more, I've actually ordered one even without ever seeing one in the flesh, don't know when its coming.... but roll on 2016, looking forward to the YRE that comes with it too. You buying it then???

[@MOTOPT]

It is a wonderful bike, but not a bike for every day, unless you want to stay hunchback :) for life. I say it's a great second bike for weekends. Great vid Man. Big V

[@Admin-ki7ch]

When this video startet you said you will say some good and bad things about this Yamaha. My impression was that you are a very experienced motorcycle rider and the bad things you said are just your personal preferance. Others might like them. I am not yet an owner of a motorbike but after I watched your video I am very much considering buying one. And I would like to go for the Yamaha YZF-R1M. Thank you for your video. Always ride safe. ;-)

[@danniolator]

That Ferrari from 15:57 is the same one i saw in Royal Jordanian's video, i also notice you drive down the same streets as him sometimes

[@stanradley9677]

Confirms all the reasons why I would never live in London. I have Cadwell Park just 20 minutes down the road. Just one life so I prefer to live it without all that traffic. I love my Aprilia RSV4RF, it set the standard 4 out of 5 years WSBK winner. As for the fasted bike well don't forget the Kawasaki H2, OK the R1, ZX10R and RSV4RF will out handle it but if shear speed is your thing, it's incredible.

[@TheRocky760]

What do you think of the digital display? Does it hold up in terms of responsiveness and glare?

[@BaronVonGrumble]

+Roscoe B very good, no glare issues whatsoever. I will say its aimed down low though so easier to see at speed rather than pootling about.

[@TheRocky760]

+BaronVonGrumble Makes sense given the racing focus of the rest of the bike. Thanks!

[@gunsandrosesdel95]

An old school vlog/BaronVonRant followed by an 18 min review of the R1 M? Life must be going back to normal for you. I love 44 teeth, the way it is edited in a relaxed - too cool to be part of "serious" media wankers - way and Alan´s vlogs. Thanks for the post, will be buying a black Jizz Machine sticker for my new white fairings!

How many bikes have you been taken out on lane splitting?

Born in the permafrost I guess with your colds... It was funny to see you not even getting into third gear more than once or twice in almost 20 minutes of video :D #gladtohaveyouback

Couldn't agree more with the review. I test rode the standard model to compare it to the s1000rr. The throttle was like it was connected with spaghetti so flimsy feeling. I was thinking a ball bearing system to replicate the pull of a throttle cable, maybe?. And the starter was a issue for me sounded like it didn't want to wake up. The speed was insane I would lose my licence for sure. I would get it for the track if I had the splash.

Never ridden one but have a 12 reg r1 , understand about throttle. Can tell what you mean about the happiness of it , prob feels a bit intimidation and straight to the point haha
