@@Chris-Brauch Yup, same dude. If you go back to the very first few videos from 44Teeth, you'll see Baron explaining they were starting this new channel for reviews and to be a bit more "professional" than him just bombing around on his KTM or GSXR. I enjoy both channels, but I loved the older road trips he did on bikes as BVG. :)
Too many non honest reviews out there. It's like they are worried if they said something shite,their privileges get provoked. Seen a couple"honest" constructive reviews from 44teeth and I like it.
Chris (at least on YT) has always been brutally honest (eg bad car accident, depression, some social anxiety etc…) and very funny - while also a whinging, egotist. That’s the draw.
44Teeth is the only channel on the tube that makes me wish I could wipe my memory so I can rewatch all the content again. The majority creating bike-related content on here is either pandering to the advertisers or afraid to say what they really think for fear of reprisals from the manufacturer. 44Teeth set the benchmark the others should strive so much harder to achieve.
The catalytic converter is the size of a family sized barbecue grill. Thank you EURO6, looking forward to the fridge sized EURO7 catalytic converters too.
I just did this comparison myself. The beemer is the nicer road bike. The whole bike just flows down the road better. Better low speed manners, better steering lock, better quick shifter etc.
16:25 look at the state of the rad fins from what's getting chucked up from your own front tyre alone. Chopsies bike might well have burst itself at that rate.
@@buncobooth pretty concerning, wouldn't imagine these demo bikes have more than a couple thousand miles on them (if even) . Without a rad guard you could be changing a rad as a service item along with oil and filters 😂😂🙈
i always liked the look of my first gen s1000r, and it felt more roomy ergonomically than the second gen bike. This new one is clearly refined, but i feel it just all looks a bit 'white bread' compared to some of its euro competitors now. Also I cannot forgive BMW for dialing out all the little pops and crackles on decel that the S1000r and XR made on the stock bike.
Never a fan of the asymmetrical - and I have owned one since 2017 - but the new bike’s face looks awful. When it competes with the stunning Speed, Tuono and Streetfighter, it is when coupled to the power deficit a material issue
@@MrRadialdrift agree. The cornering lights would be functional and one hopes otherwise better than the asymmetrical lights on the prior model (which are “adequate” with stock globes and slightly better with high output globes).
I'm sure it's an amazing bike to ride, but it looks like a generic naked Japanese bike from 2015. Very disappointing considering BMW have always made the S1000RR and S1000R stand out with their styling in the past.
Your footage has improved so much in the last few videos I feel. Never had an issue with it before, but it is especially good now in my opinion. Keep up the good work guys! Top notch
I picked up my S1000R SPORT Racing Red on Friday last week and I have found it to be amazing - extremely well balanced steering, light but controlled confidence inspiring turning into bends, roundabouts, throttle is very very smooth and the suspension very compliant soft when the it has to be and firm when required. The self cancelling indicators are a welcomed addition along with the hill hold assist and I am appreciating for the first time the quick shifter/blipper. It was very easy to connect the SENA units on my two helmets. I am as you can tell very very pleased
Regarding the rear indicator - I'm pretty sure in the US the indicator works like the headlights in an audi; the brake light on the side with the active indicator stays off leaving only the opposite side brake light on and the indicator side light flashing.
It doesn't have the shiftcam so it does lack a little bit in the top end, but that is to be expected for a streetbike? Aprilia, KTM, Ducati, ZH2 don't seem to lack top end. I was slightly interested in this bike, and then I found out they left out shiftcam, and then this bike died in my mind.
Agree with your comments about BMW finish Baron. Compared to my 2015 RR the new RR has cheap plastic everywhere, is missing the alloy top yoke and polished swing arm, all black switchgear etc. Not to mention the leaking Hayes brakes, constant recalls and hearing about non-starting and breakdowns.
What’s happened here then?! That was a very honest, pro review. Not that the previous ones weren’t but somebody seems to have stepped up the 44teeth “not fucking around” level.
Literally just bought a rad guard for my KTM, after watching this review. Had never even given it a thought, which is weird as I took a stone to the visor yesterday. Slightly surprised that embedding the brake light in the indicator like that is even legal. Great review. Thank you, Chris.
I have been bugging yourself and statham about this bike for the last year. and finally three days before i collect my one ye deliver the revue i a have bee waiting for. great revue and now even more excited to take delivery.
Biggest question is does the machines frame on the left side get super hot like the old outgoing bike. Here in Florida that heat on the left side was unbelievable. Hopefully not..
Beautiful review as always. The BMW is still a bit bland and missing character. Really not liking the negative changes you pointed out. And still no shiftcam engine kind of sours it for me.
It's a bloody good road bike. Just tested it today. Such a fun bike on the twisties and on open dual carriageways. Quick shifter is so smooth. It's pretty raucous when you open the taps. I enjoyed it a lot!
Your shutter speed needs to be double the amount of your frame rate, so if you are @ 30fps it needs to be 1/60th of a second or more, not less, but preferably exactly double. Its a film rule called the 180 rule. If it's 60fps its 1/120 shutter speed. Don't ISO over 1600, look around 400 for day light work or less. regards, here since early BVG days.
Cannot believe that lighting set up at the rear. Dangerous I say... How bizarre to think they were ok'd for the UK like that. Even more so when you see that Ducati had to have a different set up for the front indicators on the new Monster for the US market. Great vid though!!
Sometimes if you go really fast the GoPro will go fuzzy over the speedometer. Hope that goes some to explaining the intermittent issues with the GoPro..
I had one out last week on a test ride. The vibration on the mirrors and through the handlebars was horrendous still waiting for my dealer to get back to me the only plus was the power and handling.back to looking for a new bike
You guys really need a comparison between this and the new GSXS1000 to see whether all the toys on the beemer are worth spending the extra money on. Think of it as a slobs Vs snobs movie for bikes.
Yyyyeeeeesss "Sir" ,the First one for 15.500€uromony look at it best ,last year i ask in Essen-NRW why did BMW turn the beauty into mainstram-look ;the answer was "...because the actuelly Model have LED's" ....i think to myself what a wonderfull world....
Having just crashed my brand new ‘21 Streetfighter V4S like a complete (BEEP!), I’m wondering if this would be a good replacement. I like that it at least has heated grips and cruise control because my Ducati came with absolutely nothing.
Not sure if Chris comes back to it later in the video but the it looks like BM have fitted Speedo Angels dash protectors... IMO they are total toss because they add a red tint to the screen and look fuzzy at certain angles.
Great video. I love the fact that you say it straight up and how it is. Question for you. I am trying to decide between the SFV2 and the BMW S1000R for daily commuting, fun riding in the evening/weekends, and chasing my son around while he is on his zx6r. Which of the 2 would be better all around for ownership? I am torn between the 2. I like the headlights (at night), tail lights, and the looks of the V2, but love the sound of the engine more and the extra tech on the S1000R. I just do not like the tail lights. Let me know.
What you crash on bike, what change afterwards inside of you?? Are you driving differently are you scared just curious to know how you feel after. Thanks Keep up great videos
Great Review as always Chris, I am getting back into Motorbikes after many years away from them and trying to decide between S 1000 R and a Sporty ADV bike... this is a serious contender
@@NekkeDeez very different beast, there really isnt anything comparable to the Superduke as there is no other big V-Twin hyper-naked on the market. You want a fast super-bike with upright seating position? You get the Touno. You want an absurd torque-machine that scares the shit out of you? Get the SuperDuke.
@@2ane They are very different beasts, and I'm not comparing them. They're just the only bikes that compete in that "category" in my opinion. What I'm saying is that, the Tuono and the Super Duke are the bikes that get me excited.
@@fyorbane Its just so freaking heavy, i get why some people would prefer an inline 4 and im sure the compressor makes it a thrill to ride but the SuperDuke still has some more Torque and weighs considerably less. Not saying its bad but its once again completely different.
Imagine putting an open radiator core on a car? My 1995 Daytona 1200 came with a rad guard, oil cooler guard and rear wheel hugger as standard, granted they were plastic but they did the job and 26 years later still do.
Why does this and the S1000rr cost practically the same once you spec the M package and some of the more convenient options on both? It only makes sense as a barebones no options bike, but then, you might as well stick to a Japanese bike.
Wow I just had flashbacks to Baron vids… miss those days lol!
Came here to say this, I miss the occasional BVG video....
These are great, but I wish we'd get one of the originals once in a while. :)

YES I have seen guards on oil coolers, just include a radiator guard on the bike! Are they worried someone will not want one?
2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000 /w Aftermarket Cabon Wheels & Arrow System. That is my soon to be Liter Naked decision and set up.

You still have the pops and bangs. Just in Dynamic Pro mode tho
Love these... but gutted they made the headlight cluster look so mundane.... I vastly prefer the odd mismatched double lights from previous years.
Yeah, the asymmetrical version looked amazing

Great review and vid as always...Bring on the naked mega test movie alongside the Superduke / V4R / Speed triple etc!
I'm sure it's an amazing bike to ride, but it looks like a generic naked Japanese bike from 2015.
Very disappointing considering BMW have always made the S1000RR and S1000R stand out with their styling in the past.
I agree. I saw it first now and I couldn’t believe it, especially the headlight
Robert, I was looking at the bike and thought...something just isn't right. You nailed it. You are exactly right about it's appearance. Stay safe.
I like it, looks like they cared more about style than trying to look different for the sake of being different. The fit and finish is still sick.
Because it is a Chinese copy of old Japanese naked bikes
Headlight makes it look like a Grom.
Your footage has improved so much in the last few videos I feel. Never had an issue with it before, but it is especially good now in my opinion. Keep up the good work guys! Top notch
Great review Chris 👏seems like your the only vlogger who's not going along with the MSM Charade 👍
Best review of the new S100R by a mile - well done Chris 👍
I feel proper homesick watching this - I grew up chucking a bike around the Lincolnshire back roads.
I like the little wisdom of how dealing with situations. Nice little nugget.
So pleased Chris did this review 🔥.

The new flat bars are very nice, may have to mod my old R1000
Wow Chris your riding skills are epic these days
GoPro needs an appropriately high read/write speed.
Great review!

Id rather that model, ive a 2016 tuono factory. But to me yeah nicer front end but cons out weigh the pros i think

As soon as I saw a 44T BMW vid I knew it would be Baron Von Guten Tag at the helm
Does the bike wobble at high speeds?
In my neck of the woods there. Great roads between wragby and bardney too (where you were ranting about hazard lights)
Asymmetrical headlamp no more, but now you get asymmetrical lever guards.
Love watching all the bike channels but watching your vids are like watching Top Gear, they are class! Love that new lid aswell Sue looks mint
Chris sounds so much like David Walliams. Listened to a podcast with David Walliams other day and all I heard was Chris 🤣
When you testing the mt09 twin?
Thank you! Excellent review!
About the exhaust unable to put a slip on is inaccurate you can and also can decat it with standard akra end can
Biggest question is does the machines frame on the left side get super hot like the old outgoing bike. Here in Florida that heat on the left side was unbelievable. Hopefully not..
The exhaust collector box is a ghastly mess. It's almost like they forgot to finish the bike off. BMW takes some tips from Ducatti.
Totally agree those indicator "braking" lights are dangerous. BMW sort it!!!!
They won't, they rather you are torn to bits and ran over by a 1000 German cars! They just want your money!!
That intro was almost hypnotic

GoPros usually get choppy when the SD card can't keep up with the recording. Depending on your SD card age, it may be dying or have errors
I'll have to test this out with mine, I get some weird flashes of colour now and again. It's either this or my camera is dying slowly and prematurely.
GoPros are distressed by other GoPros falling off their humans
Yes, you want to have the best SD card possible, so don't skimp on cost there.
At 0.16 you catch a glance of the radiator and I thought to myself 'That looks like a major oversight'. 5 minutes later..
1:01 Jazz hand 🖐
Double bloody Brilliant - great review
Rad guards suck because they reduce cooling. i know you don't have hot weather there but other places do.
Is this not the 2022 model? The colorways of the bike shown in the video match the colorways on BMW's website notating 2022

Please try to keep the GoPro lens clean. Picture was blurry around dash - particularly when you were going fast!
I guess the taillights are more for ease of going from road to track.

Nice review! What is Shift Cam? Also why label "Lift" on the pillion cover, seems a little simple, perhaps add "Twist" on the throttle too.
Another brilliant review...a huge congrats!
So true about Rad guards.
Imagine putting an open radiator core on a car? My 1995 Daytona 1200 came with a rad guard, oil cooler guard and rear wheel hugger as standard, granted they were plastic but they did the job and 26 years later still do.

I am sure production costs are very similar between the two models.
