It’s road mode is very comfortable for just cruising but still has all the power to have fun but if I want to hit the twisties I can throw it into dynamic for a little more stiffer suspension or if I just want to go all out race mode or one my customized race pro modes.

I’m your stereotypical money-burning BMW fan. I have the ///M hat, though don’t wear it. I have an M3 (after 7 other M cars) and a 2020 S 1000 RR M Sport. I am that guy. The love for the S1000RR reflects an aesthetic. It’s the deep appreciation for intelligence and diligence seeking perfection. Once flashed to undo the vandalism BMW performed to comply with US regs, it gets as close as you can get to motorcycle perfection. It’s rocket fast, flicks like a 600, has gobs of midrange for when you’re relaxed, buttery-smooth quick shifter/blipper, its riding electronics cover up all but your most egregious errors, has the best TFT console in the business, and then has all the BMW luxury features like heated grips, Bluetooth phone/helmet integration, cruise control, Nav, self-canceling turn signals and even hill stop assist. You revel in the way that BMW engineers anticipated and fulfilled your every want. The aesthetic also makes us get beautiful wives/girlfriends, nice cars, homes, etc. But for some apparently, this Teutonic aesthetic is too cold and clinical. They instead treat imperfections as synonymous with character, instead of the flaws BMW seeks to excise. The wide psychological spectrum makes the world interesting. I like it that some prefer Triumphs and mercifully date the fat girl with zits.

[@92RB20Monster]

That whole "boring,cold and clinical" view you have for the bike is not the fault of the bike,its your perception of it,and if you think of it that way all the time thats going to be how you end up viewing it.The bike does have a soul,just because it has electronic aids and is made in Germany doesn't make it any boring or less fun than a "authentic no aids motorcycle".There has been a huge deal going on with people thinking that the electronic aids make it to where the motorcycle is a nanny for the rider,and makes it less fun,i can say the exact opposite,those rider aids let me push the bike to limits that you can not as a human physically even compete with.But I digress,ill make a video on it sooner or later.

[@cosef4491]

🥱For a second I thought this was a Harley channel with all the talk about soul and character which loosely translates into “we can’t build a better bike than our competition so let’s just say our bikes inefficiencies, lack of refinement and technology are good things (character) and a motorcycle built by a brand that spends a ton of time and money developing great motorcycles that are refined, efficient and full of cutting edge tech soulless” Look I get it. If you can’t beat them bash them or talk about consumer report unscientific study from like a decade ago with some brand(s) and motorcycles that no longer even exist and say see Japanese good, Europe bad but for some reason consumer report also stated that BMW riders enjoyed their motorcycles more than the Japanese owners but that info is usually left out. How can a 200hp light weight hyper bike be boring? I’ve owned Japanese, Italian, American and European motorcycles and none of them ever gave me any real problems. Just check the specs, test ride and decide. Trust yourself and no one else

Yammie obfuscated the summary of the S1000RR pedantically ;>) . I'll go to the garage and blow the dust off my '91 homoglated ZXR750R if I want my teeth rattled or I want to earn my high noons. I waited for decades for BMW to release, and when they did I grabbed one and then again for the final production run of the 1st gen in '18. My segue platform was the '09 R1 simply for the cross plane. The bike, R1, was absolute $4!+ on paper but the ride for me felt like turn 8 at Willow Springs in the late 90s. In the end, whatever a rider chooses, I think it's important the platform meets or exceeds the expectations. Yammie may be a grom in this culture but his perspective has always made me chuckle because he's on point with only a few years off the grid. Keep up the great work Yammie.

The Italians made some lovely metal, however having a bike with endearing problems. I really like a little boring reliability with the machines I'm entrusting my life to at great speed. 10/10 would buy another BMW s1000rr

[@b-rad3423]

Nice history lesson, maybe you should drive the bike before dissing it. Or spend the 25 grand to ease your mind.

[@boballendaayan6380]

Ok fanboy🤣🤣

[@aryan3272]

@@boballendaayan6380 what fanboy ?he said it himself it's the most perfect bike that's why it's the most loved liter class bike

[@MultiFireblade1000]

Just want to add that in 2010 the S1000 rr won every SBK Superstock 1000 race with Ayrton Badovinin winning the championship in 2010 - Silvian Barrier 2012 -2013 - 2016 -2018. Unfortunately the FIM stopped the SBK SUPERSTOCK 1000 CC Racing category. It broke lap records every year race after race. :)

YN: in 2007, BMW didn't have a sport bike. Also YN: THE BMW k1200r is one of the greatest naked bikes ever. Lol (k1200r sport owner) Love the vid great perspective by examining the soul of a machine. Thank you!

[@aklisparta3790]

I'm no BMW fan at all actually I'm Harley guy if i could own one bike it would be a road King however I've ridden a couple of times the s1000rr (not the latest one) and it's full of soul and character everything about that bike talks to you so IDK 🤷 why u feel this way ...

[@jaywatson8720]

I never thought I would live to see the day where a European bike is considered less personality than a Japanese bike.

[@scourgeborne92]

You say BMW are soulless? I switched from Yamaha Xj6n to S1000R 2017... if it doesn't have a soul then it surely stole mine :D

[@EchoConstellation]

I have one, it’s freaking ridiculously awesome. On track it’s amazing. I don’t love it on the street, I think my KTM RC390 might be more fun there. The 390 is lighter, and you can use all the gears. I probably don’t exceed 20% throttle more than 5% of the time I ride the S1000RR on the daily. I’d also suggest the S1000RR doesn’t have much soul, I find Ducati’s warm hearts more.

[@Image-X]

The S1000RR M doesn’t way a whole lot more than the 390…. but has WAY WAY more power….. which is easily put down….. even on the street.

[@EchoConstellation]

@@Image-X it’s easily put down. It’s the easiest 1000cc bike to ride for sure. But it’s still more enjoyable to ride a slow bike fast than the fast bike slow.

[@ThaKenMan]

Another so you want a video? Someone has been watching Fitment Industries. Lol love the videos no shade btw.

[@ricardoedwardo5799]

When I rode the S1000rr it was fucking insane! This is a brutally superb machine!

[@ridebecauseucan1944]

If you don’t like refined bikes that are so good their boring then get an 1980s era Harley. They will keep you very amused as you hope it might start, hasn’t leaked all the oil out overnight or that the lights will work for more than 3 hours from shaking apart. I’ll personally take a bike with quality and is boringly great over a bike with lots of “personality”.

[@Fearless154]

I had s1000rr 2019 model and it was so boring to ride I sold it shortly and bought 2018 r1 it's not as fast but damn it's much more fun to ride with nice character and sound. S1000rr have pretty much your typical sport-touring engine feel to it which is not the reason why I buy superbike in the first place. But I understand it may be appealing to some people who buy bikes like cbr1000rr but not for me. I rather get paginale v4 which have all of the BMW refinement and even more but actually being a hell of the fun to ride.

[@MasterBlasterSr]

If your at COTA for July 4 weekend track day Ill let you take a spin on mine. 3:16 track day event. Ill be riding both days.

[@AleksanteriR]

I don't understand how can someone call S1000RR "soulless". BMW has a long history as a motorcycle manufacturer so naturally they - if anybody - know how to make the "perfect" bike. This is like saying that Rolex or Patek Philippe watches are soulless since they just are "too perfect" and "too well engineered and crafted".

[@adnan_Ok]

Did you know that all S1000RR s pull to the right when you release your hands from the handlebars? BMW responded to my complaint with " this is not a normal riding situation and it's not noticable when you grip the grip the handlebars" Yes this is true, but I prefer my bikes to remain on the road as opposed to the cow paddock on the right.

[@Fearless154]

You mistaking with gs1200 and all of the BMW's boxer engines. I had the 2014 s1000rr, as well as the 2019 model and none of them, pull you right and they don't even have handlebars but clip-on. Why you spreading lies and ignorance make sure you read the article well and understand it before you post this non-sense.

[@ryanoliver9131]

I think their boxer engines do that but it isn’t like it’s going to throw you off the road. Ride on one like the r9t and you will love it.

[@1Biker]

Its obvious you are getting your own opinion into this, on the contrary the s1000rr is the most refine and practical bike ever made because it’s well made , I say that based on long experience

[@cookiek2429]

S1000rr was NOT BMWs first sport bike K1200S - made in 2004(well before the S1000rr) and while sure you *could* put some bmw saddlebags on it, it definitely wasn't a "big bad open touring kinda bike." The k1200s and its spawn the k1300s(2008) were for sure sport bikes with inline 4 engines and around 170ish hp, similar power to an R1 or ZX-10 in those years. The K1200S actually set a speed record in 2005, so plenty of crazy sport bikedness. The s1000rr was just the first liter bike from bmw as the k1200s was a bit more than a liter

[@RiderZer0]

2:00 those bikes look like miniature toys in a diagram box of a garage.

[@GregNice718]

I literally spent 5 years making the decision to purchase a sports bike. This video was the last thing I watched. The complete absurdity of Yammy Noob’s content on this bike IS what helped me to finally decide on my 2022 S1000RR. That being said, it has over achieved in my mind, blowing it in the process 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Never have I had a vehicle give me such complete joy and happiness. I really cannot say enough great things about it. Highly highly recommend!

[@georgehgordy1690]

At 11:44 Cachet. Yammie I didn't know you were French & also born in the 1950's...😂 Talk about using a passé word.. Oh shit, now I just did it 🤔

[@TheFunesk]

Doing a valve adjustment on an s1000rr is very interesting. Don't forget to rotate 5 times loosen bolts then rotate 1 then loosen bolts hahaha

[@oifvet2x]

That flat spot is no joke. My R6 pulls on the new S1000RR until the powerband kicks in then the beama quickly catches and passes

That guy is a idiot

[@youngFlashh]

Christoph he’s done wheelies at 150mph.. probably the best at street racing and high speed wheelies.

[@chrisparker5731]

The s1000rr is probably one the best litre bikes ever made, I own a 2013 hp4 and as I agree with what your saying you simply can’t compare the bike with others like this the bike as you say is a master piece and should be held as such the bike had a lot of character and it’s soul is black and cold underneath all the refinement. I’ve owned lots of leader bikes and the Bmw is simply put as the best!

[@patthonsirilim5739]

the thing about s1000rr is that it feels slow even thouts its fast think of it this way when you ride a 1299s or even the new v4 it feels like the faastest thing on track it shakes buckle and weave even thout the stop wacth might say otherwise and toruqe with electronic turn down is crude and all powerfull there so easy to wheelie but s1k is calm and collected even when you tiwst the trottle to much the bike gently lift its nose rather then bam right up like a pangale the laptimer might favor the s1k but i always felt more rush from the panigale bike there just raw adrenaline rush im not a racer but i like taking part in club races and track day and my 1199s and v4 speciale always made me smile way more then my s1000rr 2017 and zx10r

[@n300zx931]

Riding a 2020 s1000rr M I must say the bike has a soul. A cold calculated soul. Add a bren tune and full exhaust and she's an insane animal.

[@AndrewBoundy]

"BMW riders all fall into the stereotype of presumed snobbery" - bandwagon entered sir. What should I say now sir?

[@oxybble]

Great testimonial thanks

[@sanakpal8036]

2018 s1000rr were the best

[@elken4289]

A bike for Street use needs character and "soul" as you say but on track if a bike is fast, that's all the character you want it to have!

[@Rnfjaydee]

I was also confused about that as-well wouldn’t a pro rider just need it to be as efficient as possible?.

[@jcpaintingdesign]

Always love like, don't now to much but looking for 2010 bmw 1000 rr, I always impressed about this bike with tricolor paint. what you think about this is a good buy or you suggest... dollar for pound you know 😆👍👍 Love the channel, new subscriber
