Have owned a 2018 Gen 3 S1000rr for 3 years.
Favourite thing:
- How confidence inspiring the bike is. Very easy to ride fast and compliments the rider.
Least Favourite Thing:
- Can't really think of any. If i had to nitpick, the sound of the full exhaust at low rpm's, when cruising around town, doesn't sound that smooth.
Agree with all that!
@@FastFlowKCyou should try riding the newest model
And the Carbon fiber parts are cheaper for that gen then the 20-24! I was buying carbon for my 24 and was like why is the belly fairing so much cheaper for a gen 3!
i hopped from 50cc moped to 2017 s1krr, last summer when i got the bike i drowe 10.000km / 6250miles in 5 months. (summer is pretty short in Finland)
damn i love the look, sound, power just all of it... and smiles the bike gets on peoples faces. great video, love from Finland

You are one of the best Street Killa's on the planet. I love the S1K but my wallet loves the GSXR. Though, I love my little 750. I have 2K in mods for 146 wheel. She quick.
Aye appreciate that! Those are good numbers for a 750, you really don't need anything more.
The 750 is my dream bike.
New cbr will slap the shit out that s1k
Thank you for your uncontrolled outburst for negative attention. You got it. @@rageknight2340
That's like saying my Foxbody will smack the crap out of your 65 Mustang. I fuggin hope the newest models are better or it is a waste of time upgrading to them. @@rageknight2340
Great vid man! I agree 100% i started on a gsxr 750 and upgraded to a 2012 S1000RR. Traded that in for a 2016 five years ago and man, I absolutely LOVE my 2016 BMW. Like you, I've ridden the newer S1KRRs but they haven't made me feel like i need to sell my 16' and upgrade. I still plan on getting a 23' or 24' S1KRR but not as a replacement for my K46, more like to scratch that "I want a new bike" itch. The BMW is such a fun and easy to ride at a pretty high level bike, it's amazing. Plan on keeping mine for a long time!
Thats exactly how I feel, you said it well. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for tuning in
the intro to this videos is sick!!!! Good points as well definitely saving to get one. good video keep it up just subscribed
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed, and welcome to the channel.
Dang good stuff my boy on the video. I literally just got off the phone with a salesman cuz I’m trying to buy my first s1000rr. Then I came across your video and you answered all my questions. Good looking out! I’m going to like and subscribe to your channel right now! Thanks for the info and ride safe!
LETS GOOO! Love to hear this. You will love the bike man and if you ever have any questions at all I'm always here and will always reply. Thanks for the support and welcome to the channel.
I NEED AN S1K , keep the fire content coming Bruv
One of the only channels that will give you the rich honest truth about a bike. Great tips and knowledge. BRB trading in my Kawi 😂
You would rock a s1k 🔥 thanks for the continuous support brotha 🤝
I’ve been looking for a real world review on this bike. Thanks bruh
Glad you found it!
Thanks for promoting safety gear, not like the other rookies. Also a proper review based on years of use!
Absolutely!
My first time ever on a motorcycle was my 2018s1k I learned on it about a year ago and have since put 4k miles on it, just got a grom, and searching for a MT to learn wheelies. Had zero issues starting on my s1k just put it in rain mode for a week and it went great 👌🏽
Nice! Thats the same year I have, sick bike.
I got a MT for sale if youre near NC
Can you really start out on this bike? I’d love to own one some day.
You said the special word FAST so I have brought one a 2016 s1000rr 😍😍😍 awesome vid b
Your analysis of why to own a BMW S1000rr is completely correct 👌 I'd only upgrade my 2014 to a 2018 model, which may happen in a couple of months 😀
Coming from a Panigale I 100% agree with everything you just said. Love: How well rounded and put together this machine is, it's cutting edge in every way. Dislike: The mundane sound it makes.. buts that's what I get for having a 2023 RR with all the emissions devices etc.
I do miss my 2017 s1krr. Love all the technologies it comes with it. Currently just started riding again and bought a 2024 zx6r.
I'm picking up my 2023 S1K this friday. Can't wait
Dude I’m getting my 22 this Sunday
I also have a 2021 s1000rr I can say for sure that it's an unreal piece of machinery. I started with a Honda cbr650r and it had no issues at all either for the 10k miles I put on it before upgrading. Two of the most important things for every bike someone owns are keeping your chain cleaned and lubed and tire pressure. I change my oil after each summer season, I live in Ohio so I can only ride comfortably during 5 months of the year practically.
I agree they are amazing bikes!
I started on r1 2006 crazy but I’m still here after 10 or more years it can be done just respect the bike and you all good like you said
Yes sir! Loved reading this comment. Thanks for sharing.
Nice bro 😎 because of you and your comment s about this bike 🏍️ I bought one 6 day ago jejej it’s a 2013 s1000 RR white bule red and bottom black , whit 10 ,000 miles and some blue wheels after market it looks nice to be honest, I come from a Ducati Moster 821 strips edition 2017 & I like to how it drives like not to hard to drive it like the moster , thanks 🙏 bro , saludos from Tijuana BC Mexico 🇲🇽
I totally enjoy my 23 Ducati V4S with full high mount Akra and dry clutch but the cruise control would be sweet!!! Super nice ride man!!! We should meet up and ride in KC sometime once it gets a little warmer again👍👍. God bless dude and keep up the awesome vids!
That is a sick bike you got congrats! I am super down to link up, if you have Instagram reach out to me there and we can set something up. Its the same name as my TH-cam
Nice review bro! I have a 2015 s1000rr bought her from the original owner with 900 miles last summer. She currently has 3500 miles. Been debating on selling and moving onto a different platform. Your review definitely made me realize we’re already riding the best generation and platform there js. Thanks again for the review. Ride safe brotha 🤙🏻
I fkn love my 15... just had a brentune QUOTE and realized the irony of me being to broke to afford it 😂🎉
Yes! Truth! The bike will not hurt you even as a beginner! If it’s your dream bike, then get one. You simply have to put in the work and show the responsibility for riding it properly and at your level. You can absolutely do it. Go to classes, practice, get a mentor, and practice so you can grow and enjoy it for years!
Very well said!
Kn oil filters have been outlawed on track,hiflo ive had no problems, My 14 bmws1000rr has a pc5 and sprint filter but runs strong without a flash
I'm in the market for either a 2019+ S1000rr or Ducati V4 curious as to how you think they compare. Leaning more toward the Ducati because I've just always absolutely loved the way they look but willing to give the S1000rr a chance since everyone that owns them loves them. But according to research they seem pretty similar but unique in their own little ways with solid buyer satisfaction. Have always owned older liters (09 R1 & 11 ZX-10r) so either would be a very nice upgrade.
Any tips on user mode what do you run I’ve been scared to mess with it
Was really deciding on the GSXR 1000R or the ZX10r over the BMW 2024 models. Well this helped me decide on the BMW that I should go through with it. Thanks man.
Absolutely! Look forward to seeing your new bike. Thanks for tuning into the video.
Get the bike that fits you the most. They are all in like 3% of each other "performance" wise. If possible test ride as many as you can!
I have had a 2018 S1000R since new, completed 60,000km. Great bike. Inky issues have been water pump (very light misting on catalytic converter, replaced under warranty twice without hesitation), fork seal and fuel pump (intermittent hot start issue that was happening more often, replaced under warranty), cam chain tensioner (replaced with the silver variant) and carbon buildup around the injectors (easy fix). Service costs have been ok. Bike is fabulous, mainly back road scratching and track days. Test ridden V2 and V4 Streetfighters, Tuono V4, and new s1000r, but not being stingy the small improvement is not worth the changeover. BMW Motorad Australia has been great - the level of support is a very very strong factor and makes it likely I will stick with BMW. Perhaps a M1000R…
I started on an M1000RR and if you respect the bike you’ll be straight. Super easy to ride
Well done on the safety gear push, a road is sandpaper to the human body
How do you like the LED headlights for long distance lighting at night?
Obd link scan tool , also need adapter cable for pre 2017 models
Yo you made me really want a s1000 now and this is coming from a guy that has owned five Kawasaki Ninjas in a row. Awesome video bro
Glad you enjoyed and you definitely can't go wrong with one.
What’s the first thing to break on a bigger bike besides reg chain & sprocket maintenance?
People might disagree with me, but i think actual leather gear that matches your bike is way cooler than anything else you could ever wear on a bike
LOVED mt 2022, i put $12k+ into it between getting every carbon fiber part made for it, exhuast, tuning, forged wheels and performance parts it was such an amazing bike then a truck hauling horses cut me off and totalled the bike, broke a ton of bones died then spent a couple days in a coma. I finally just picked up a new 2024 s1krr and already started the upgrade journey, spent 4k in carbon fiber got forged wheels, arrow exhaust, raceworx thumb brake, got a tuner for after my break in is done, next on the list is brembo brakes. Best bikes ever made i love it! The cruise control is so nice, the quick shifter/blipper are amazing and heated grips where i live are a must!
can you do a comparison between the cyclops and the newer model?????? Contemplating getting a cyclops over the 2020 model (currently purely based on the looks)
I had a 21 S1KRR
Brentuned stage 2/full Akra/po8 air filter /IAT relocation and was an amazing bike
Has a few tuning issues and engine faults come up on the 6.5” dash every now and again. The issue with tuning K67s is the warranties and BMW denying claims of tuned. I ended up selling my K67 and picked up a used 16 speed triple S. I’ve had 2 different CBR1KRRs an 09 Repsol and 17 blade and you’re definitely right a tuned K67 is day and night faster/quicker than any CBR1KRR.
That sucks! The new ones definitely have problems they need to address.
we the people need a link for the merch !! the people want that hoodie ,shirt , beenies ,ect lol
I need a website for sure! Definitely will be in the future.
I think you just helped me decide between Honda and BMW.
Lets go! Glad I could help
Hopefully picking up my s1k 2021 next week, coming from a mt10, really hope this bike is worth it
Can you make a vid on how to power wheelie and clutch up wheelie on any s1k and what settings to put it on? I was going to buy a ducati panigale but came accross your channel and fell in love with your bike so went and bought a k67🥂
Lets go dude! Amazing bikes congrats on the purchase. I actually made a video about that 2 weeks ago on how to wheelie, check it out on my page its the 3rd most recent video titled "LEARNING HOW TO WHEELIE SAFELY (Clutch up wheelies FULLY explained)"
I’m leaving my hellcat redeye jailbreak behind to become a biker. And I wanted to start on Yamaha R1. I appreciate everything u are saying
Do not start on a 400cc or more, I promise u its not a good idea, also do nit touch a bike without wearing full gear all the time, regardless of weather, when it comes ti crashing it's when nit if, don't gwt a big cc, u can't handle it yet, all respect.
R1 all day
I started on a cbr600 Honda, and it was the best. More than enough power but not more than I could handle. Now I’m upgrading to a 1000cc and after riding for 3 years I feel real confident about riding it. 600 is perfect for beginners. Oh and btw I had experience with already driving roush mustang which I think translates to help riding a bike fast
I’m looking into buying a 2018 s1k with 23k miles for 10k rebuilt title looks like is in great condition, anything especifica that I should look into or the regular used bike things? Would appreciate and answer and also if it’s a good deal if everything is good?
I love my 23 . Such a great bike
I was playing crew 2 and fell in love with the S1K on the game I know it’s a game but the bike was super fun that game got me leaning toward a BMW one day
The bikes are truly amazing and thats where my love for the bike came from as well! Thanks for tuning into the video.
Currently looking at a new cbr 1k but not sure which one I should get
My 14 bmws1000rr had 19,000 on it,now 35 000,never any problems, one clutch cable thats it,great vid,bmws are the best,
Thats incredible! These machines are the best.
You can clear the service codes for under $100, with an app, a $10 cable and an OBD2. Also, it does a crap load more than clear codes and adjust your QS.
Love the video man! What gloves are those?
Glad you enjoyed! The new gloves Im rocking in this video are the Dainese 4 Stroke 2 Gloves.
@@FastFlowKC awesome thanks !
would you say its better then the kawaski h series. im looking for a super bike and im inbetween s1kr, hybausa, and kawa zx series
Bruh this bike is my first love..
Just waiting for the day to get it!
What exhaust is that. Sounds great.
So does the 2016-2018 have a quickshift with auto blip?
@fastflowkc Could you go thru you menu set up n how you have the ABS/TC off in user mode ? 🙏🏼👊🏼
Great topic! Will definitely go over that in a future video. 🤝
@@FastFlowKCMuch appreciated brother ! 👊🏼
s1krr has been my dream bike since the first release and finally got the 2018 model and the design has also been my favorite compared to the newer models. but honestly i think the bike got beaten by that panigale v4 hands down. but since im an owner of one s1000rr ima ride it with pride.
just picked up a cbr1000rr, but i can't lie..... I love the non symmetrical headlights on that gen of s1k
The new ones have come a long way. Congrats on the bike.
Tuff as always! What NBT you rock regular or aramid ?
Glad you enjoyed! I rock both and honestly love both, you cant go wrong with either fr
I am a beginner and my first bike is s1000rr 2010 , IDK if it's the perfect choice but am loving it and getting used to it slowly , the only thing I hate is the shifter sometimes it just doesn't work IDK why .
Really wanting a 2nd gen s1k but currently have an Aprilia rs660 and can’t find a good reason to get rid of it nor do I have a use for two bikes but god that are gorgeous
How the hell can your oil filter blow out? sounds like it just wasn't installed correctly to begin with. I always use hiflo filters and never have any issues.
Thinking of selling my 2022 gsxr 750 for a 2018 s1k, should i do it? I’m scared of reliability issues even tho I’ll buy a low mile
What helmet mounted camera do you use??
Really appreciate the video, But what do you recommend for a first bike? I was thinking about a ninja 600 650, but what do you think
have you ridden a dirt bike at least? if not don’t get a 600
@@bodenlarsen1297 I have not ridden a dirt bike, so what do you think I should get instead?
If it’s your 1st bike and you’ve never ridden I’d go either a Ninja 400, Ktm Duke or Rc390. They’re both reliable, light and good for beginners
I'm gonna swap out my RS660 this summer, and im so torn between S1KRR, RSV4 or R1/R1M.
I can't really decide, but i've dreamt of an s1k ever since i first saw it with its alien headlights in 2009.
overall i love my S1K, the only thing I hate about the K67 specifically is everybody and there mother has one 🤣 it is a great bike
aye the boy! Yeah Ive been hesitant to buy a new one for that fact. The new ones seem to have some problems they really haven't addressed yet. Seems hit or miss on the new ones, have friends that never had problems, and quite a few other friends that has dealt with all the recalls and factory mechanical failures. Anyways we need to link bro its overdue!
I love ur vid !!!
Only thing I’ll say is !!! Noobs shouldn’t be 1000’s !!! Unless they have 5 years of street and traffic LA style experience! I never want to see any of my brother and sister riders hurt !! I rode street freeway and canyon riding and now I stunt !!! And I’ve lost a lot homies to 1000s . Besides that u gave me the confidence to buy bmw 1000!!! And my first 1000 was 05 r1 and that muther had power in all gears and all rpm range !!! 190mph is the fastest I gone on the freeway and preloaded all bumps for continuous speed!! I never rode on closed courses !!! So thing always coming ur way , specially bad drivers !!!
But I love all u guys that ride !!! It’s in our bloods !! Bike life for ever ! Just respect the beast
good review, please also review zx10r
You would hate my review on that bike lmao I've rode them before (all gens) they suck haha but I should do one in the future, great idea! Stay tuned for that.
Similar sentiment as you. 2015 in the Motorsport colors. Bren Tune stage 2, oil changed every 3,000 miles or less, depending up riding. The bike always started, always ripped, always looked fast and good, always got attention, always admired and adored by others, and always did what I asked. It was comfortable for mid-distance (500 miles) and faster than any bike I ran up against. It’s safe and dangerous, depending upon what’s between your ears. Still wish I had it……😢
LOVE MY 2023 S1K. I UNDERSTAND HOW U FEEL ABOUT THAT MODEL. BECAUSE MY 2016 S1K LOVED THAT TOO. PROBABLY MORE. IT HAD POWER EVERYWHERE BUT IM NOT FINISH TUNING MY 2023.
You are going to love it when you open it up! Sick bike man, and great comment! Thanks for tuning into the video, hope you enjoyed.
🔥🔥🔥 bro
You have sold me on getting a 2018 s1000rr I been between the cbr 650r, and the cbr1000rr
LETS GOOOOO!
What year CBRs did you own and what mechanical issues did you have? Looking at either a 2012--2016 CBR (completely analog, less expensive) vs 2015--2019 S1K. Appreciate your insight!
I had a 04 and a 07. I would stick to the 17+ models of the cbr1k if you go that route, they make more power than the older ones and more reliable with the refinement. I dealt with oil leaks, and stator failures.
@@FastFlowKC Thank you Sir! 👍
OMG, I JUST BECAME A NEW FOLLOWER 😂😂 I'm new to the bike world 🌎 but I'm looking forward
i dont know if you know this. but does an hp4 ride the same?
fire my guy
Leetttssss goooo. I gotta get me one of them thangs.
Cant wait to see you back on a bike!
6:23 it does matter what oil you get, use what's recommended in the manual if in doubt.
Pretty sure he’s referring to brand of oil not specifications 🍻
@@daveo9844 Needs to be a lot clearer, could do with taking a course on how to present himself ffs. And just use the best oil
@@daveo9844 I am Lol people just dont know how to think for themselves shesh. Appreciate you tuning into the video
I’m surprised you like the s1k more than the fireblade. As much racing as you do I would’ve thought you preferred it. The fireblade just eats everything up top.
Maybe the SP version of the fireblade. I've raced several and actually what all of them lacked the most was the top end, I pull on all of them extremely hard compared to every other bike on the market. They are the slowest lol
Man I can’t wait to own my dream bike I love bmw for making that bike if not I wouldn’t have a dream bike specifically that model not the new one
Love your bike man i want to buy an S1000rr to like you have or the R6 2018 model what do you say what’s better I got a CBR 500 R right now
I think its worth it to get the 1k if you are going to keep the bike for a while. The r6 is arguably one of the best track bikes so it really depends on what you want. Absolute power and speed, or some really good power still but more maneuverable through the corners. The r6 will do high 150s the s1k will run close to 200mph
even though u did say it as a joke to get a s1k as a first bike but would you really recommend it? I'm new to this so would the 1000cc be suitable for someone like me who has no experience at all. I was thinking about starting out with a 600cc bike but nothing really beats the look of the s1k.
If you have no experience be smart about it, and start off on a smaller bike. Its good to get cheaper less bigger bikes to learn on, that way if you do drop it you are not dropping a 15-20k$ bike
How did you get 2 different headlights like that looks so sick
They came factory on the older models like this
So your saying by not getting the Gs911 it will give me an extra reason to go for a ride to the dealer😭
What your user mode settinfs
Would love for you to take mine for a ride sometime along with my aprilia rf,skatman
Do you think that a s1000r with 25 miles Is a good go?
I use the Mahle filter (it’s the oe manufacture). (I work at advance auto parts so I pay slightly more than cost for it so yeah lol.
Same! If they don't have the genuine oem one the mahle works just fine as its pretty much oem as well.
Been trying to get a newer bmw ever since I sold my 93 k75, BMWs are so good
They are solid bikes for sure! Here's to hoping you can make that happen and get another one, cheers 🍻
Amazing.!!
When you think that only a few years ago, BMW didn’t even know how to make a proper sport bike. Or even a sport bike at all.
I would hope at $10k over the base addition of the competition it would be better. the base s1000rr is $25k an the base of everyone else is around $16k and if u step up to the high end of all of them they all have those extra features.
How are you doing to set the wheelie mode ? On my 2016 s1k i never found it, I must be in slick mode wich is not allowed on french road haha
Maybe this mode came in 2017 ?
No wheelie control on the bike unfortunately I cant remember if I stated that it had it in the video, sorry if I did!
What year is yours?
lots of love from INDIA
FastFlow, would you ever go touring long distance(2,000 mile trip) on this s1000RR ?
Most likely not. I bought a truck so I could travel with the bike and the seating position just isn't comfortable for long rides like that.
Is this the second gen?
Fast flow told me to get the zx14r as my first bike /nod
AYOOO WHAT 😂
@@FastFlowKC ok ok I'll settle for the H2R =D
@@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy 😂 okay now we talking
I learned for 1.5 years on a 300cc and jumped straight to a 2011 s1k and after a couple hours of ride time on it i feel very safe with it and "in control" it scares the shit outta me so im still not confident with like gunning it or anything but going from a 296 to a 999 i dint think anyone would be. Ive only had it for 4 months and i wont take it out in sub 32 but i will say swapping back and forth from the s1k and ninja the s1k arguably feels smoother than the ninja
I have a 2015 with 26k miles now, I was debating on selling it for the new 2023+ models. After watching this, I think I will keep mines for a very long time. The new one has so much restrictions and needs a flash and full exhaust to be good. With my 2015, I just got the sprint filter and a sc project slip on and its perfect.
What is a flash
@@ThePresidentofMars ECU flash to unlock the bike, comes detuned from the factory I believe
@@apexbreakfast thank you
s1k goated🐐🐐
I always wanted a S1000 since it first came out, with the HP4 color scheme, 10 years later, I went on and bought a new hayabusa, I'm 31, I don't do wheelies or race or push it too hard and I'm a pretty big guy and the new S1000 looks and feels way too small for me but if I were to choose any of the 1000s I'd still get the S1000
I have some pretty big friends that ride them and they love em. The new busas are cool though! Thanks for tuning into the video.
