You're right about the S1000XR. I'm completely in love with mine. And I know you like to pick on Harley riders, but I've exclusively riden Harleys for the last 35+ years until I bought my BMW last October. I haven't riden my Harley (2007 Electra Glide classic, 2015-103"TC, cammed, chipped, Rinehart true duals, and dyno'd at 115hp) once since I bought my XR. And I'm 66 years old.

Yammie is so spiritual. everytime he gets on a fast motorcycle, he yells out passionately "oh his god"!

[@user-zs8dj6cs5k]

Yammie used to have his opinion on the S1K it’s nice to see him giving it a shot😂😂❤️

[@literallyhuman5990]

Still waiting for yammie to review NSR250 with its chip. 150kg wet with 57hp unrestricted is fun yet terrifying. Best bike to own imo.

[@adamritchey4209]

Love my '23 s1k. Perfect bike. I dont need the "pizzazz" of "yeah it runs perfect but if you hit 9k rpm in 3rd gear on the 2nd tuesday of the month, itll yeet you straight into a wall". Ill stick with my cold, calculated German engineering 😂

[@dipsan95]

People always hate on the best bike because it reminds them that they made the wrong decision.

[@l2xv674]

this is the issue with literbikes, they tend to make you a missle and hit the wall/floor if you are not in total control of your bike. Honestly i dont see a real reason to got above 600/650cc on a more sport oriented bike (sadly bmw doesnt do anything below 999 in this category) even here in germany where the autobahn is unlimited 200-250 km/h is enough. But quality and engineering wise its kind of a dream bike and just awesome

[@Jimsmash171]

Got my 23 3 weeks ago, waiting on the bt moto stage one to get here. I love this bike, easy to ride but often reminds you itll yeet you back to 1950

[@adamritchey4209]

@@Jimsmash171 I still need to do that. The dead spot from 4-8k is pretty rough. Can't wait to see what it's like after

[@alemanmx1980]

Respect for Yammie for praising BMW even though we all know he doesnt like BMW and has given this particular model lots of flak in the past. Regarding the cons, pls keep in mind that (IIRC) only the US version has the torque deadspot, not the Europe and Latam version (ends up getting the EU factory flash)

[@Diabeekei]

Thanks yammie for picking me for the giveaway!

[@anthonypeters1797]

Can you do a video of the problems the k67 has had.

[@carlosserrano6730]

Glad someone is going to win this. I can't even go for it since I always get my stuff taken away.

[@anthonypeters1797]

Can you do a comparison video with the older models

[@rob2010maldonado]

Hey Yammster, would you go on a road trip with it? Are there BMW saddlebags available?

[@doublemeat8799]

I wonder how much shift cam technology would affect a 600 inline 4 and how far it would go to revitalize the segment.

[@wictorqqq]

NIce! I wonder what kind of engine they based all that on.. GSX-R K5

[@dondrap513]

Looks like yams trip to turkey worked out. Thus the continued absence of the trademark hat of the last 5+ years. Good deal.

[@rajatsharma7264]

@yammienoob whats the difference between cbr650r and cbr600rr. The price difference is huge between them

[@shunlo3497]

I have a 2023 and love it! Use it as a daily rider. I'm curious how you were able to get 180-200 miles on a full tank, I can only get about 120-130 before I get the low fuel warning.

[@langhamp8912]

These are great bikes, if you're curious or don't believe that, you can go spend a day riding one on track with California Superbike School. That's a great way to test ride this bike (not the M though) and learn a lot of skills.

[@ezissichidubem2349]

Love your content and how can I be a part of your giveaway …. I’m from Germany

[@micknowarita5717]

how many years would you reccomend riding before getting a liter bike? i know everyone growth is subjective to the rider but what would you say is a rough estimate?

[@langhamp8912]

It depends on what you're doing with the liter bike. If you're just cruising around under 100 mph, maybe hitting twisties and doing urban commutes, and NOT doing highway races against other riders, then it could be your second bike after, say, a scooter or bike that you can semi safely whiskey throttle. On the other hand, if you're getting a liter bike to ride it to its limit (preferably with all rider aids turned off), then I'd guess you'd need to the do the 125cc --> 250 --> 400 --> 600 progression. Bear in mind that each time you crash the bike it will cost you at least $2000, and more like 5 to 10 K.

[@aventari]

At least 4 or 5 track days and 2-10 years

[@marioleyba]

I ride one daily after 6 months of riding but also I’m not that great of a rider I just go straight and fast

[@imraniqbal2712]

i am waiting for the ninja 500. unless u can recommend me this as a beginner bike lol

[@asparceproton1]

A 190mm rear tire is crazy. The front tires on my MR2 Spyder are 185s.

[@aventari]

my 2006 CBR1000rr has a 190 rear. Very standard for literbikes for 20 years

[@cshyped2583]

@@aventari It's also wrong - the carbon wheels are 200 rear.

[@Matt7R]

Shame my 21 year old R6 won't sell for enough for one of these. Although with the way R6 prices are going, I might be able to do that in a few years 😂

[@shaunlavoie6183]

Wow, that's an expensive first service.. that same bike, the first service up here in Canada at the Motorad dealer is only about $500 Canadian Rupees

[@n300zx931]

I have this bike and will say, the bike is a bit lacking as a stock machine. I feel like you should skip new 1000cc bikes if you don’t plan to modify it. If you do want to modify the bike, these things are absolutely wild machines and the best over all street bike you can own.

[@jacobsmith9410]

40% failure rate of owning the bike in 4 years makes it seem like owning the bike is more of a hassle

[@jaymonti33]

What's the best 600cc bike for the streets/Daily Commuting?

[@High_Octane]

none lmao. or any supersport. their toys/tools for getting around a track fast as possible and it dosent care about you.

[@johnythe01]

Not 600 but 650, I’d say the CBR650R. Might not be the fastest, but gets great milage and its upright enough to spend some hours without destroying your back/wrists, also looks good, good reliability (I mean, Honda) can’t go wrong with it, plenty of power for streets and commuting (around 90-96hp)

[@jaymonti33]

I mean I know 600s and 1000s are primarily meant for the track… but as we’ve heard in this video, the BMW S1000RR is the most comfortable sports bike for the road… Is the Kawasaki Ninja Zx-6R the most comfortable 600cc bike for the streets?

[@High_Octane]

[@spectrese7en721]

And void any manufacturing warranty you have on this brand new bike.

[@aao331]

According to my BMW dealership mechanic, the 1000km 8000rpm limit is not for longevity of the engine, its because they were having so many dead new owners that they implemented that.

[@Mr_everything10]

Damn if that’s true that’s crazy.

[@rickeco4tango33]

The only reason to flash this bike is to get rid of that flat spot!!

[@Tyresong]

you know what would be interesting? researching the impact that all the mining and transportation of all the elements that it takes to create an EV battery, and the entire EV... and comparing that to a Beginner bike, or something like the Suzuki V-Strom 250 SX, as well as the running/charging and service costs... and then mention how a bike like this with the ability to go straight though the congestion rather than adding to it combats one of the biggest transport issues crippling the worlds cities... Lets Teach the world that getting a small efficient Motorbike is MUCH better for the planet and the economy than buying an EV! especially when the cost to the planet when building a small bike and covering 100,000kms on it using 1/4 the fuel a small 4 cylinder car, Is MINISCULE in comparison to the Mining that is involved for EV production, the transporting of the mined materials across oceans, to be refined and sent back across another ocean for the next process, and so on... and all of the facilities that do this are powered by fossil fuels, and so are the power stations that create the electricity to charge them!

@Mr_everything10 there was one on a dyno and one on a track day. Both denied. There have been others to.
