RSV4 the best

Do you have one of the old generation bikes where you could check and see if the new battery will fit in the old chassis? Im looking to get a replacement battery for my 2019 oset 24r and it almost looks like the new style battery will still fit in the old chassis.

I think less fish and chips from the wooden shed and you would of got him 😅

Chad, is the ABS on the RS too intrusive when braking hard? How does it compare in actuation to your previous R12 Nine T?

Merry Christmas from Germany 😊lovely sound!!Sub'd and liked.

The dude IS out of KTM 😢no more contract for him...

Loved the review on rider assists. What a beautiful bike. Wish I could afford one 😅

Is this a similar thing to what's going on in GP bikes ? If so, Stoner was right when he said 10 or so years ago that this would happen. And rely less on riders' skills, but more on manufacturing development.

although I have no intention of buying such an expensive motorcycle, it is very instructive to look at a review like this. I adore people who know their job (journalistic, editorial..., and certainly also the riding part of the job), keep up the good work.

That’s proper riding nice one

As a fellow northerner, I didn't need the subtitles....but I see why you added them ;) Proper job 👍

Overpriced.

Well it be abele to drive in the desert? 🐪

That clock puts me off...at least the new R9T give us the two options.

Motorcycle should have clip ons

Hi 👋 sir, I’ m very tempted to get a rs because I fell in love with that, but I have a Duke 890r and I am afraid to be disappointed in terms of sport riding. I love mountain passes and corners. If you have ridden both bikes, may you kindly give me some advices? I'm torn because I'm afraid of trading my eyes for my tail, also considering that my motorbike suffers a significant devaluation, given the economic conditions in which the manufacturer finds itself. Thank you in advance.

None of these bikes need those 1200 graphics.

Great review but not a fan of the clocks

I have 2024 speed twin,was $23k here in nz, looking like rs be over $28k and standard over $25k, big price increase, love my 24 model... Good review mate

If you’re going to switch to a digital dash at least design something aesthetically pleasing like the one found on the Indian FTR, which can even display in an analogue style if you so wish, the Triumph dash looks cheap and dated.

Is this your favourite modern retro bike then?

These look great. I don’t mind the idea of a digital clock and love the one on the BMW R12 NineT, but these ones look a bit cheap. Seam fine in use and easy to read etc, just that they already look a bit dated.

How does the power of the RS feel say compared to a yamaha xsr900..??

Music was too loud - distracted from what you were saying.

On a cold wet day in December in the uk this vid is amazing

Nothing wrong with the clock, analogue ones you cant tell if you’re going speed limit at a glance 🤷🏼‍♂️

Great bike but the clock noooo....😡

I can image you making the same comments going around TT 😂

A Classic that's got too modern and too exspensive 💩🤷‍♂️

This guy doesn't actually say anything. It sounds like a marketing shill actually. It's really not a lot different to the 890 Duke R in power and the R is an R whereas the 990 isn't, yet.

The big twin sounds wicked on full throttle thrown in with the foot rests grinding-happy days 👍 nice one Chad (we see him here, we see him there….)

Not too bad fer street bikes.

nice riding video! yea, love them KTM big V-twins. 1190 and up are special bikes imo

Good thing the lion tamer, or chartered accountant jobs didn’t work out. 😂. Nice vid. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

I feel so conflicted. Should i buy the old v4 that still feels more raw or buy the new v4 that's more like a bmw. I enjoy the bmw but i like jumping on the old v4 more than the bmw because it makes it feel alive and it's the tesla of the world.

How long did it take you to stop going for the back brake with your foot

As an officious public spirited type, it is incumbent on myself to remind you and your viewers that the speed limit for dual carriageways is max. 70-mph. Btw is always either raining or looking like it's going to rain soon in N. Yorkshire.

Cool toy, I think in my day we would have had something like a Yamaha PW50/80

Just traded my RR in for one of these as there’s a good saving against if you can find a demonstrator. I test rode one at a bmw day and really enjoyed it. I typically ride sports bikes or hooligan machines (I have an MT10) but really looking forward to bimbling along on the R12 Nine T and throwing it around corners with all that torque. It’s sort of an uncomplicated bike where I’ll just jump on it and ride whereas the sports bikes tend to be an event every time you ride them…

Duca-eee

I am considering the R 12 S here in the USA. Waiting on a knowledgeable review. I also concerned about BMW layoffs and reduction in quality.

Chad, what do you think about the ABS intervention? Too conservative, or S1000R-level?

Very informative video. Thank you for sharing the invaluable information with the community.

This is hands down the best looking motorcycle ever built. If it goes into production I'm buying one !! ...hope they don't change anything about it, it's perfect!

Hello Chad Is the throttle still the same (sloppy) or more normal on this bike ?

Like most when this was released I laughed and said what have BMW done I won’t be selling my 1250gsa 😂 My new 1300 GSA all black gets delivered in 2 weeks 😅

It was good to hear your comments on a bike i bought a couple of months ago. My only criticism of the bike is the gearbox, it’s the worst of any bike I’ve ever ridden. It clunks very loudly from first to second to third and back down, and don’t even think about using the quickshifter in those gears. It’s fine in the top 3, with or without the quickshifter. Apart from that I love everything about it. I bought it from a dealer untested by me because I used to own a R9t several years ago and loved it. Lesson learned!

great info .My v4s 19 plate scares the shit out of me .but i love it for that ;)

👍
