when it comes to heated grips on BMW’s the “Hi” setting is intended to get the grips up to temp quickly. The grips will get too hot unless you have thick gloves on. “Lo” is the normal operating setting.
The hole, or flat spot you speak of is in the ecu only in north American models. A simple flash unrestricts it and becomes a monster in the whole rpm range.
Considering they're the same class and engine type, they'd likely be super close or the same result as the Ducati versus GSXR video. Ari put some serious work into Dave and at that particular track it can probably beat or equal all stock-suspension street bikes.
I’ve had a couple of off-track excursions at track school on their S1000rr and found it handles surprisingly well, although I did not try it out on any RR ties :). I owned two of the earlier versions and purchased the 2021 model based largely on how much I love riding the school’s (CSS) bikes on track. The M package with carbon wheels DOES turn in noticeably better (lighter touch on turning in) even though the overall static weight savings is not substantial because the wheel hub and brake rotors are upgraded (rotors 50% thicker) for both the carbon wheel and forged wheel options. The passenger seat and pegs are a no cost option, as is the solid rear cowl. You can also effectively change the settings for street use by dedicating one of the three Race Pro configurations, and you can alter the way the hill hold feature kicks in. I’m tremendously impressed with the level of thought and design that have gone into this new generation of the S1000rr, and it’s reflected in the fact that BMW warrantees this 14,000-plus rev monster for three years.
All things considered. A budget version of the S1000 would be a smart move for BMW. Kind of like the R nine T pure. Just a true daily rider with a superbike heart.
Thanks for posting. Couple of points. There was a massive recall on the front brakes of the s1krr. Far as I know, all the Hayes calipers are to be replaced with the Nissin calipers. Regarding the flat spot. It is due to EPA regulations. The Euro version does not have the flat spot.
You have that insane laughter/giggle as someone who have just managed to escape from the asylum when you try out some of the specials on this. Love it!
The Shiftcam sounds like Honda's old VTEC. The power from the low rpm lobe falls off then it changes to the high rpm lobe. What some people did back in the day is use a VAFC to change the VTEC activation point to smooth out the power band a bit.
The model you are riding has the Nissin calipers for sure. The Hayes caliper models have a bar within the bmw logo on the calipers. Mines a 21 w/ Nissin calipers and look just like the ones on this bike
My son loves motorcycles but won't ride his own. He states that if he rides, he would get something like a BMW S 1000RR and wouldn't have self control. He would only want to go fast and wouldn't have the self discipline to ride safely. I get where he is coming from, the speed of sport bikes is addictive. Man has to know his limitations. Ride Safe/Ride Often
This is probably the smoothest brand of bikes there is. When you see him, take his hands off the handlebars you can do that at 100+ and it is the same.
Zack, these reviews of the latest and greatest bikes are great!... but. $22 grand is out to lunch for many riders. The review of your personal 14 year old ktm sm was a jem, as its an attainable bike. More content like that please! Older every-man's bikes.
Newsflash homeboy, he reviews all the NEW bikes… because it’s a business. If you want a review channel that just reviews bikes you can afford, go to the junkyard.
For an older bike would you consider jumping on a 1st gen carbureted sv650 or maybe the 2nd gen? I have a good idea of the things you might say... I just really want to hear it out loud! 3rd gen is maybe a bit boring because there are more exciting contemporary bikes, but in the context of the late 90's/early 2000's the SV just destroyed the competition.
Absolutely brilliant video. Your road review is exactly what I wanted to view. Is heat an issue with the S1000RR? A bit about me: Had a Panigale 959 and Monster 1200R simultaneously. Traded the Pani for a Multistrada 1260 Pikes Peak. However, I miss the Panigale. Thinking of trading the Monster 1200R for a sportbike while keeping the Multi. Seams like the S1000RR is a more suitable choice for predominantly street riding than a Pani V4S and better values as well. Your opinion?
Great Daily Rider segment, as always, thanks, Zack. BUT...set your camera angle a bit higher when on the sports bikes, had me pulling my eyebrows out of sync trying to scope out the road a little further ahead of the front wheel. Best off-road section yet!
Yea, sorry about that. I tested three different angles before settling on this one, but I misjudged it a little bit. I like to try to show the dash and controls as much as possible. I'll keep this in mind for the next one. Thanks for watching!
"You can call me a ween if you want to but..." No, no one is calling you a ween. You're absolutely insane for taking an S1000RR there. I can't believe you did that!
When I've daily ridden "race bikes", or anything with an aggressive seating position, I love the air hitting my upper body, it takes the weight off my wrists. That balance is really important to fight fatigue, some bikes get it right, I've yet to right this bike, but it seems like a real dual purpose machine. I'd probably look at one of these long before I went to the $30k CBR R-RRRRRR...SP, and smile about the $8-9k savings, but it doesn't have that Honda RAWR!! up in the rev range, that's got to be an addiction quality noise that justifies a few of those saved $k.
when you buy a harley you make a conscious choice for style over performance, and even comfort if you mod the hell out of it. with a super sport you buy it knowing its not comfy and it demands dedication to condition to the extra effort it requires to ride. you do that for 2 things; performance and the insight into how well you ride - no other road going bike lets you know your riding sucks as much as a super sport. but 1 day if you put the effort in you'll be proud and it'll show. comfort on a super sport isn't something to dismiss but comfort is part of the right of passage to its dedication. plenty of other bikes out there that are quick in a straight line that aren't super sports. get a super sport and be 1 of the few still riding them 😎
BMW had problems with the Hayes brakes which effected many of their models. One of the fixes were to replace the Hayes with Brembo brakes. I'm surprised that that 2020 was not replaced with them. I have a 2020 XR with that came with the Brembos.
They've apparently got the deadspot only on the American bikes, for emissions or something, but most people will get these gen4 bikes tuned and it fixes it well
@ 10:10 Zach discussed that after 100 miles you’ll be glad for a pitstop is true but the other reason to want range is to be able to ride to work daily without filling up every other (or every day)
Firstly its obious where his passion is road and bikewise. Adventure bikes and dusty/dirty roads. He doesnt have a clue for longer rides with that bike. Im taller than him and can easily go 400 mile trips with mine. That bike is comfiest superbikes, ergos are great. Range is around 300kms with full tank.
@@mortaljorma69 I’m wondering if you just recently discovered Zack. He’s been racing sport bikes since he was a kid. He loves taking track bikes to the track. He just wants to commute on comfy bikes. Also the dirt road stuff is just him being a big grown kid - making himself giggle.
If anyone recalls the Mozart biopic “Amadeus” they might recognise the same demented laugh Tom Hulce gives as Mozart as Zack also does while pulling a wheelie or similar stunt. The comparison fits as both Mozart and Zack brilliant Mavericks with humour, skill and talent. This has got to be the only off-road review of an S1000….! Appreciate the tech insights and knowledge too, homework done here. Thank you.
When I was bike commuting, I had a beemer (badass K1300S) that I could do about 2 round trips per tank, same time I also had a Ducati that could do less than one full trip (hypermotard on 120 mile commute). So annoying to have to stop for gas EVERY trip to work. 150 miles range would annoy me if daily commuting.
26:00 how is the question between this and a Tuono??? the Tuono is a naked bike... have you forgotten about the single R naked version of this bike? the comparison with a Tuono should be with the S1000R.
I got a tuono 660 at the end of December and one selling point is the nearly 100 horsepower at like 403 pounds. (183kg I guess). This bmw is 205 horsepower at 437 lbs? So for roughly 30 lbs you get another 108 HP. You pay 2x what the tuono costs, but 2x the power at nearly the same weight. I have never felt that I can’t responsibly handle any bike. But I can say the tuono feels like a bmx bike almost, but bolted to the road with a rocket between your legs if you ask for it. It’s incredibly easy to ride. I won’t be able to buy a 22k$ bike, but I sure wish I could give it a good hour long ride just once lol!
So, I'm currently riding a 2022 cb300r with like, 30 hp. This bike has 175 hp more. I'm currently having the time of my fucking life riding this thing, sure it isnt the fastest thing on the street, but fuck its not slow, and it has a habit of lifting the front wheel quite frequently. Looking at a bike like, this, that makes 175 hp less, this leaves me with the question, WHY? DEAR FUCK WHY? I mean the answer is ofc, "why not?" but I'm gonna be real, thats still fucking insane.
Regarding your mirror comment, I find it is best to look over your shoulder every time you change lane, it's the life saver move. Even if you are sure there is nothing there, Look.
Good job Zach riding in the puddle. Imagine growing up riding CG 125 in the puddle with a passenger in the back + 220 lbs dry weight + fuel weight, albeit with better tires lol. That was my daily ride for a long time in different country lol. Focus should be to keep bike as vertical as possible.
The sport bike riding position means we’re all staring at the handlebars while you’re holding onto the grips because of the GoPro position and it makes me anxious to not see as much of the road ahead while you’re riding. In my head I know you can see where you’re going but as a viewer, I can’t and it makes me twitchy. :P
Those are the Nissin calipers. The Hayes calipers have the high-lighted BMW logo surrounded by a large rectangle that is the same height as the BMW lettering.
Small correction: These Brake Calipers are actually the Nissin ones wich were fittet on later bike. I believe they started to equip them from the factory line in the middle of 2021. The flat spot in the torque delivery is purely done electronically as it not aparent on euopean bikes. Greetings from Berlin, Ben
Ha, ha... not R1 Sjaak level yet, but pretty good off-road riding on a sportbike. The S1000RR is the best bike I ever owned and that was the 2011 model.
@12:19 did you try to drag your knees on the city streets!? lol. Quick question… does the s1000rr have the technology where the bike feels like it “squats down” if it’s being ridden aggressively? Even tho my daily rider is a cruiser, I still like sport bikes. If given the opportunity, I’d take a naked sport over the fairings.
It looks like a VERY delicious bike if you're a superbike guy - which I'm not. I love the idea of loads of power with advanced electronics, though, apart from the mobile phone dash. And that mud stretch?! You're a complete lunatic! ROFL Thanks for another excellent video!
Check out Spurgeon’s first-ride review on Common Tread! rvz.la/3IrkBa0
Oh come on. You've done nothing to fill the gap since Lemmy left. There is basically no content regarding Cruisers. One of the largest sectors in the market and you completely ignore it. Not ok.
I CANNOT believe you did the off road test after seeing how muddy it was. You my friend, are insane.
and he still hit the jump!
Glad to see Zack went for it. Just disappointing he wasn't riding an ADV bike this time....it would be easier to explain all of the mud that was packed in the chain
@@dirtbikesicehockey4788 He said it was already washed before the leader board section. Just hope BMW dealer doesn't watch their channel!
Seems like this s1000rr's dad was a gs
WTF guy is a mad man
I love how Zack looked at the mud, said "it's insane" and then you hear it click into 1st. My man.
I was like geez Louise and cheese!
He did stuff some people on a gs wouldn't do
1st gear or second? Sounded like second…. But that first gear is likely looong
Nuts!
Off road on this bike followed by a wheelie.
One day I will have this riding skill 😂
Zack, proving that anything is an adventure bike if you're skilled enough.
Any bikes an adventure bike if it's not yours
@@barnsnoble7066also true 😂
So basically the perfect bike to learn on while on my 5 minute ride to the local Walmart. Thank you.👍
Good bike to turn that 5 minute ride into a 2 minute ride 😂
I’m buying one🙃
that bmw accelerates so fast that you are going to overshott Wallmart, dude
@@viarnay lmao
Finally an offroad section that scared Zack - never thought I'd see the day.
I guess what you really need to scare him is the prospect of an angry BMW rep.
Sketchyest off road section yet! Props for not wiping out over there, seamed horrible! lol
lmao I was fully prepared to excuse you for skipping the off road detour. That is exactly why Zach is my favorite motorcycle journalist.
Boss!!
He’s great. You can hear the passion for motorcycles in his voice.
+1 on the XR. We still need a daily rider for it
BMW XR 1000 and Duke 890r needs to go on the daily rider board!!
Have a 21 xr, needed a tune and cat delete to come to life. These bikes are choked for emissions.
@@philipparana9225 What tune did you go with? Brentune?
@@jcl3j yeah stage 2
Zach did a recent review of the F900XR but I wish we could get this on the leaderboard. Maybe a youtube short?
That was the most entertaining off road ride I’ve ever seen.
Search "Baron von Grumble GSXR Off Roading" ;)
My heart skipped 69 beats when he tilted a degree or so
Insane off roading, I was stressed watching that part! Great review!
Railroad track timber check. "I just want it to be over" choked on my coffee. Awesome!
thank you for not wimping out at the "offroad" section. We all appreciate you taking that step for us.
Today's ride had one of the least off roady bikes on one of the off roadiest off road tests we've ever seen... Zach's awesome
And that was the last time BMW gave Zack a motorcycle
Zachs face on the thumb nail just makes these even better.
when it comes to heated grips on BMW’s the “Hi” setting is intended to get the grips up to temp quickly. The grips will get too hot unless you have thick gloves on. “Lo” is the normal operating setting.
It's a feature!
The hole, or flat spot you speak of is in the ecu only in north American models. A simple flash unrestricts it and becomes a monster in the whole rpm range.
I think you should definitely do a track day and just like the Ducati , put it up against the 2005 gsxr
That would be a good track day leader board segment. I'd watch it.
Considering they're the same class and engine type, they'd likely be super close or the same result as the Ducati versus GSXR video. Ari put some serious work into Dave and at that particular track it can probably beat or equal all stock-suspension street bikes.
This thing got muddier than many BMW GSs are ever gonna be.
Best beginner bike ever hands down💯
When he got to the off-road portion, I was like "No way is he going to do this" but this mad lad still does it, LMAO.
Love BMW’s S1000 series. The best in-line 4 engine period. A true modern marvel.
Bike just went to 80mph in 1st gear. My KLR 650 barely wants to go 80mph in 5th 🤣
So true lol
The RR can break 100mph in 1st.
My S1000R was slightly slower at just over 80 in 1st.
My 2004 Honda 1000RR did 81 MPH (gps) in first. Liter bikes have had crazy 1sr gears for a while
My 73 kawasaki f7 175 doesn't do 80 lol
I’ve had a couple of off-track excursions at track school on their S1000rr and found it handles surprisingly well, although I did not try it out on any RR ties :).

Zack's outer-monologue going down that mud tract was the same as my inner-monologue when I take my bike down a tract and then realize it's a bad idea.
I'm really glad you're back doing these reviews and with Ari. Love your content
All things considered. A budget version of the S1000 would be a smart move for BMW. Kind of like the R nine T pure. Just a true daily rider with a superbike heart.
Thanks for posting. Couple of points. There was a massive recall on the front brakes of the s1krr. Far as I know, all the Hayes calipers are to be replaced with the Nissin calipers. Regarding the flat spot. It is due to EPA regulations. The Euro version does not have the flat spot.
i think it is common for big liters. my tuono fell off too before i remapped
Your honest reviews of these machines are very much appreciated. Thank you.
Zack, you make the point, this is where the extremes are (tech, speed, ergo’s) this is what currently represents a race bike that is street legal.
I see the S1000RR has some R1250GS DNA in it :)
So BMW needs a TKC80 option for those who want to do some adventure riding with their superbike 😊
Yeah that was pretty cool props for not comparing headlights to the old version
You have that insane laughter/giggle as someone who have just managed to escape from the asylum when you try out some of the specials on this. Love it!
That’s my bike! I love it. It’s a track weapon for sure and super comfortable. I did the Bren Tuning to smooth out the flat spot.
I know MaxWrist is a big fan of that tune! Very cool.
The Shiftcam sounds like Honda's old VTEC. The power from the low rpm lobe falls off then it changes to the high rpm lobe. What some people did back in the day is use a VAFC to change the VTEC activation point to smooth out the power band a bit.

This is probably the smoothest brand of bikes there is. When you see him, take his hands off the handlebars you can do that at 100+ and it is the same.
You need an Insta360 camera for a different angle when you back it in. Awesome bike. Keep up the great work!
The calipers do seem to be the new Nissin calipers that get installed due to the recall. The Hayes calipers look a bit different.

I can afford anything. What I choose to spend my money on is my business "homeboy"..
Suzuki's new GSX S1000gt would be an excellent next bike to throw up on the board to compare a legit sport-tourer to the sport-y ADV segment.
For an older bike would you consider jumping on a 1st gen carbureted sv650 or maybe the 2nd gen? I have a good idea of the things you might say...

Agreed, I like that idea. They are hard to find in stock (or even close) condition, but if I can find one I'd love to do that.
When are you guys doing the Ninja 1000 SX, thinking of this one as my commuter.!
i think that gap in power was a way to satisfy euro emissions requirements. I think you can do a flash/tune to get rid of that gap if desired.
Really would love to see the XR! very fun to see the RR here but seems like the XR is a bit more suited for a daily rider.
I was super surprised you took it down that traintrack on the rocks. so lucky you didn't get a flat or wipe out lol!
"Everything's cool, everything's cool" that was great!
I crapped my pants, when you hit the mud !
Turning radius on this bike is HUGE

Loved the BMW REVIEW. 🔥🔥Which are the next bikes on the list for review?
Superbikes are the best daily riders IMO. They get the adrenaline pumping in a short time and you don’t have to be on them for long.
Best off road test for sure! love that you are willing to give everything a try!
26:08 If you are average height - around 6' 3" or taller - Tuono is an absolute no-go. It's like sitting on a broom.
In that case, MT10 is for you.
Average?! 😂
Talented not to crash the s1000 rr in the mud on those tyres. Pure skill.
Pucker factor on the off road section a bit high! Not a bike for mortal, but very entertaining to watch Zach ride. What a mental scoot!
18:39 for off-road test!
Why I’m here 😁😁
I've seen accidents that did not have me clinching so hard.
Chilly morning in Southern Cali does not compare to the freezing, snowy Midwest temps I'm dealing with here....so jealous.

The sport bike riding position means we’re all staring at the handlebars while you’re holding onto the grips because of the GoPro position and it makes me anxious to not see as much of the road ahead while you’re riding. In my head I know you can see where you’re going but as a viewer, I can’t and it makes me twitchy. :P
17:59 "I don't know if we should do this..." *Puts bike into 1st*
Those are the Nissin calipers. The Hayes calipers have the high-lighted BMW logo surrounded by a large rectangle that is the same height as the BMW lettering.
Small correction: These Brake Calipers are actually the Nissin ones wich were fittet on later bike. I believe they started to equip them from the factory line in the middle of 2021. The flat spot in the torque delivery is purely done electronically as it not aparent on euopean bikes. Greetings from Berlin, Ben
Ha, ha... not R1 Sjaak level yet, but pretty good off-road riding on a sportbike. The S1000RR is the best bike I ever owned and that was the 2011 model.
They based the engine on the K5. Suzuki still sells a liter K5 derived bike.
Love that we get the euro version in Australia, as there is no flat spot
The dirt section. Scary stuff.
XD Nice daily Rider as usual.
@12:19 did you try to drag your knees on the city streets!? lol. Quick question… does the s1000rr have the technology where the bike feels like it “squats down” if it’s being ridden aggressively?
Even tho my daily rider is a cruiser, I still like sport bikes. If given the opportunity, I’d take a naked sport over the fairings.
It looks like a VERY delicious bike if you're a superbike guy - which I'm not. I love the idea of loads of power with advanced electronics, though, apart from the mobile phone dash. And that mud stretch?! You're a complete lunatic! ROFL Thanks for another excellent video!
Whoa! I WAS PUCKERED as you rode the tracks.
