It’s been a pleasure enjoying your channel’s content while seeing your subs multiply from the 1,000’s to over 20k now! Keep up the great work Rye👏 I’m in it for the long haul!
Wow what a comment that really is something. I really appreciate your support and I recognise you regularly post on my content. Thank you 🙇🏽♂️
Naked bikes suck. Honestly I gave the street triple rs a chance and it was beyond brutal. I was moving from moto to street and wanted a " comfortable" bike. The riding position doesn't make up for the wind protection. I hate baked bikes just another low IQ trend
Got to say the street triple rs is the best value bike on the market for the build quality and spec.
Couldn't agree more. If you're willing to live with the last generation ('17-'19) headlights you can find amazing deals on a used bike. The only differences are an auto-blipper and some mid-range torque. The new one still isn't torque-y and the old one has better dash display options.
Yes!!!!!!!!!
I think the Japanese built, 6 axis IMU, cruise control, Ohlins equipped MT-09SP might have something to say about your comment. The street triple is very dated and lacking features of less expensive bikes.
@@tg8150 oooh no, the 09 SP might have some nice bits on it, but the MT range are not anywhere near the build quality of Triumph.
Originally, I was deciding between 765RS and S1000R. BMW is really far behind Triumph in terms of quality.
I haven’t ridden either of the newest incarnations, but I rode both a street triple and an S1000R long term. Honestly, they’re not really comparable. Both are excellent in their own way.
The street is a razor blade, flighty, loves getting pushed till it gets out of shape but somehow always still keeps its composure and encourages you to drive like you stole it.
The SR is sedate, composed and ultra smooth if your taking it easy or running at mediocre pace. I’ve never been on another bike that I actively wanted to take out in the rain. Let the SR loose and it’s fucking mental, fast enough to scare the shit out of most people.
Both are excellent regardless 👍
U should ride the new s1000r such a difference with the old one
@@negenelf123 I intend on swapping towards the end of the season, I’ll definitely be test riding one 👍
@@kris955i2 I rode one and I bought one
@@negenelf123 you are a lucky person
I came to the S1000R from a street triple 675. Agree 100% on the handling, it’s a huge upgrade. The BMW is so composed, and takes so little effort to place it exactly where you want it through a turn. It’s like the bike reads your mind and does exactly what you’re thinking. The Triumph was good, but always took a little more attention during a turn, and the suspension was more easily upset by bumps or sudden line changes.
Watching your videos and listening to your footage of the Street RS helped me pull the trigger on getting one and I absolutely love it to bits. Totally get that feeling though that one bike is never enough and this year I got a Yamaha R1 and I’m now looking at adding a Ducati or S1000RR to my collection 😂. Been loving your content from over here in the Netherlands. If you ever do a ride out it’d be a great excuse to cross the pond. Keep up the good work.
You're spoiling yourself too much! Thanks for the feedback. As for the Netherlands never say never!
I wish I had that kind of budget to buy 2 similar bikes from different brands. the day I can. 1 of each. a super naked, superbike and ktm 1290 SA R.
Thank you for your so down to Earth review. I returned to biking last year (I am a pensioner), and spent ages choosing a bike. I nearly chose a street triple. However I test rode a BMWR1250R and was very impressed. I can also carry my wife on the back. It has incredible low down torque (dont really need to drop gear on the open road), and is almost a perfect road bike. Solid, steers well, and superb acceleration at 'legal' speeds. It also routinely returns 63 a genuine mpg. It is a very relaxing bike to ride, casually or aggressively.
Not sure if you remember us chatting about a year ago Ryan. I was test riding a good few bikes. 1200RS and the S1000R included.
I had an MT07 and was asking you about the 765RS, I then took out the S1000R. Going from an MT07 to the S1000R mid speed just give me anxiety because I just couldn’t stop hammering that throttle into Warp power 😂.
So glad I went for the 765RS, I love everything about it and has helped me to really gain confidence, especially in corners.
I’m test riding the Panagale V2 on the 27th. Heart is set in ot without even testing it 😜😎
Great vid! Love this bike but I think I prefer my triple r as you can use more of its potential on the road legally
Excellent content as always mate. 👍👌
Got my 2022 Street Triple RS on 11th March and enjoying the girl. I hear you loud and clear when you say “I buy a bike, get delivery and immediately start thinking what else or which other bike to buy”. Guess that’s what this madness is all about 😊
Look forward to your journey with the 1000R. Who knows what or when my next upgrade will be 🤪
Cheers
I recently test rode an s1000rr race, while looking to upgrade from my street triple rs. While the new mineral grey livery is absolutely gorgeous, I was less impressed with the bike than I thought I'd be. Of course, the demo bike had under 1000k on the odo and I couldn't open her up properly on my test ride route, but a few issues still stood out to me over my 30min ride:
1. The gearbox felt very mushy compared to my street triple. There wasn't that satisfying click that I'm so used to and it was frustratingly hard to find neutral. Brakes weren't as good as the Brembo M50 on the Triumph, in terms of feel and stopping power.
2. Vibration is much much worse on the s1000rr. You get some in the seat which was uncomfortable at first but you soon get used too. But the mirrors were basically useless. People dismiss bar end mirrors for being less practical but the ones on my RS always work perfectly. With the s1000rr I could only see a blurry mess.
3. Build quality is less than impressive. I bought my 2017 street triple rs for less than half the price of the BMW. And I can honestly say its fit and finish are on the same level if not better. The dealership had an s1000r M sport on their floor and the white paint makes it look even more plastic-y. IMO, Triumph just has that air of elegance to their bikes. The BMW, while highly technically advanced, felt very function over form.
4. Even with the factory-fitted Akrapovic exhaust the s1000rr sounds suffocated (Euro 5) and I much prefer the sound of my rs with the sc project s1 slip-on. Being a litre bike there are also less opportunities to open her up and hear the roar, whereas the street triple screams all day at the speed limit. If sound is your thing, go middleweight.
There were good things as well such as the incredible mid-range torque and high-speed stability around corners. My '17 rs doesn't have an auto-blipper or cruise control like the s1000rr. And both are incredible features to have on a bike. The electronic suspension auto-adjusts as you go, making the ride more comfortable on poorly-maintained roads. But ultimately these features don't justify the 29k (AUD) price tag to me and for my style of riding (mostly commuting in the city, mountain twities on weekends) the rs is the better bike for me.
You compare a liter sports bike S1000RR (not even the S1000R naked) to a nake bike Street Triple RS 765 :-) For similar money as the Triumph RS 765, the Duke 890R, MT-09SP are better bikes. Also the electronic auto-suspension are better on the S1000RR and S1000R than on the RS 765.
The real competition in similar price range of the RS 765 are Duke 890R, Duke 890GP, MT-09SP, Z900 SE, GSX-S1000 (aka tough competition).
And your 29k AUD not justified for the S1000RR, near in mind that a Brock Performance S1000RR did the world record quarter mile (stock wheel base) at 8.72 seconds, the RS 765 does it in 10.79 seconds (which is very good for such a small engine). Try a 890R or MT-09SP (or if you want top quality build the CB1000R Black Edition (way better built than the RS 765 which is still a good bike)
Right now bmw is having a end of financial year sales i was confused to pick new street triple Rs with cruise control and heated grip added up just a 2000 dollars price difference compare to bmw s1000r sport. I am upgraded from ninja 400 which one do u think is the way to go for Australia environment
Concerning build quality, I just bought a BMW from a BMW/Triumph dealer and while the BMW's are not bad, the Triumph's are on another level concerning fit and finish in a good way!
Great work mate you do some good videos I own a 21 plate BMW S1000RR with a full system and remap which is mine blowing so get that system on your have one BIG smile ride safe and it would be good to see you around at one of the cafes I'm in the MK area good luck mate
Likely bump into you at the super sausage then I often go over that way!
would be great too catch up
Just got myself the S1krr and again, what a bike. Fully loaded and an absolute animal but very easy to get on and ride causally too which is surprising for such a quick sports bike
This is the "problem" I have with my Speed Triple 1200, it's serious, it's urgent. Wonderful machine, but sometimes I miss my more casual 765.
I found the braking on the St.Triple mind blowing on dry warm tarmac
I’ve recently got myself a new S1000r, had 2 Tuono V4’s prior, I absolutely love it , far more useable and refined on the road we’re having a hoot, the Tuono is a special bike but not easy to live with, its like a caged animal on the roads and needs to be on track. I believe this gen3 s1000r is an amazing bike which has been given mediocre reviews based purely on power figures which kinda count for nothing on a bike designed for the road, it’s a total gem.
With what you are saying in comparing the suspension feel of the two bikes, did you have the suspension setup properly/professionally on the Street? I have the older 675r and once I got the suspension setup professionally it's one of the nicest feeling bikes I've had a ride on
Lovely content bro, subbed. Does the s1000r have steering damper and the Telelever magic like the GS?
I am addicted to shopping for bikes. Currently own a 2020 Street RS. Still look at bikes online almost everyday looking for what is next. I do love the Triumph though
Try the Speed triple RS you willl love it !
@@pcarts232 I actually rode my friends. Had a weird clunk in transmission when throttling out of corners, was pretty unnerving. cool bike though
@@ericgibson4629 aha , no problem with mine I absolutely love it , it’s definitely not perfect but I don’t care 🤷♂️ 🤣 I just think the engine and the way it rides is so good , I see a lot of reviews picking up about the suspension and the dash being slow and blah blah blah but to be honest I don’t really give a shit all bikes of their problems the BMWS 1000R almost perfect it literally doesn’t have any flaws and it’s better that the Triumph without question but I still wouldn’t swap My Triumph for one. ! Just personal choices I think tbh !
@@pcarts232 Brilliant engine and ride. I think it might be something with his? He traded it away on S1000R M series
@@ericgibson4629 Aha yes I had the S1000r bmw it’s definitely a better bike all round and has steering damper makes a huge difference both amazing bikes
Picking up my 2022 S1000R today. Came from a 2020 Street Triple RS. I'm so excited. Same rationale as you, just wanted something different 😂
Congratulations and all the best Joshua! Ride safe.
Helpful and entertaining 👌
Both are great bikes. I used to own a 2020 Street RS and I tested the s1000r. I confess I didn’t feel a urgent push to move to the BMW since at normal speed I found them quite similar, the Triumph being more nimble. Eventually, what made me move away from my Ras it’s been a love affair with a completely different machine, an orange beast with two cylinders, now with electronic suspensions. ✌️
The rear brake feels so good as, (in every mode other than dynamic Pro) it's uses the front and rear brakes. EVEN IF you just push the rear brake. You can feel the compression in the front forks
Nice video, have you ridden it at night yet? The headlight is awesome, best I've ever seen on a bike,
That's so true. I am a bikers aswell and bought a Trumph Speedtwin a year ago. Now I'm looking for some adventure bikes like a Teneree 700 for some other type of adventures. We really are not happy with only one bike...
I like you felt the need for change of bike . I had the street tripe rs for almost 4 years .I narrowed it down to the ninja1000sx. Bmw r1200rs , aprillia tuono base and the triumph speed twin.. I immediately had to rule out the Aprillia because the closest dealer was 130 miles away. The ninja 1000sx is non existent is the unites states no dealers have them . So i was down to the speed twin and the bmw r12000rs. Triumph wanted $600 for destination and 1000 for a bike set up fee. I wanted the speed twin but that put that bike up to 14k for a modern classic. While at bmw I was looking at the r1200rs . I sat on the s1000r. It felt right ..I liked the features ..I bought it on the spot ..i think your video sums up the difference perfectly, but sometimes getting a new bike is fun. ...side note changing the exhaust on this bike for a better sound scares me because it runs so well as is. I'm not sure I want to spend $1000s to improve sound. And I don't want an obnoxious sounding bike. Lol I need more research I'm curious to see how yours comes out
Hi man. congrats on the new bike.
Why did you opt for the s1000r and not the speed triple?
I made the same change from a Street RS to S1000R and pretty much agree with your comments. I would add that I think the traction control on the SKR is a big step up. I had a few rear end slides on the Striple and the BM has never missed a beat
The S1000 is pretty much a perfect bike it can do it all, it’s a bit dull in character but it’s still flawless imo , and it’s comfortable in all conditions
Did you consider the speed triple before choosing the S1000?
Totally get you with all that... try a different bike and all. I did sign up originally because you had the Street Triple... I still have mine... and still love it. Triumph have a new Speedy and a new Street coming up later this year. I'm going to trade on one of them. Could easily be another Street but the Speed is tempting for similar reasons that you like your new BMW. The S1000 R is a nice bike I can see why you like it. Have fun :-)
Get the Speed TripleRS mate it’s an absolute beast !
Great video been waiting for this one but Jesus you scare me when you accelerate round the bends thought she was gonna bite you in this video 🙈
Hi thanks for this nice review
I have also a 2022 S1000R and I love it (except for the Euro5 noise under 7500rpm although I have the Akrapovic)
I would like to know if you would prefer the 2023 Street Triple RS to the S1000R as the technology gap doesn't exist anymore (except for the combined front and rear braking system the BMW has)
I feel the same , bought myself a 1290r super duke and can’t stop smiling , brutal 👌😁👍🏼
Good video pal, from rye east Sussex 😜
Gr8 vid. Given the choice between these 2, who wouldn't choose the s1000r? It's a no brainer, you chose the better bike. Anyway, ride safe, god bless u.
I agree with your comments. I've had K1300s and the street Triple RS... The difference is really mostly in gear selection and top speed but frankly I prefer the 765 for public roads it's enough for me and it's a hell of a lot lighter than the K1300s. The weight of the S1000r is only a little a heavier so not as much of a difference... but again I don't mind the Street Triple - it's enough for me.
crazy enough!
Very honest 👍. Both are lovely. Love the features in the BM. It really moves so you must have discipline.
What made you pick the s1000r over the Speed 1200rs? I was sure that was the next one for you.
I’ve had both these bikes and am itching to get on the 2023 Speed Triple ❤
Just checking do you mean the latest Street Triple or indeed the Speed?
@@BikesofRye The Speed. I would get one in a heartbeat, but there aren't any dealers near me to service it. 😟
I totallly agree with you, no matter what bike you have, after a couple of months, you always want to have another bike with better specs or different style, is like an addiction 😅, regards.
Absolutely!
In all your vids on this, I haven't seen you mention the phone connectivity and the BMW app ? Do you not use it?
I have a Street Triple 675 and I’m looking to upgrade to either a 765 RS or an S1000R. Still on the fence. Both awesome bikes. Only cons to the BMW is cost to fuel and insure…both of which are expensive here in Victoria, BC.
Did you upgrade?
@@zrofux8327 Just put my bike up for sale. Looking at a 2019 Speed Triple RS. We'll see...
@@NathanPhilps1 yea I got the 675 and looking at the 1200 rs when the funds allow it but also wouldn't mind a 765 I ride pre much every day so idk if the 1200 would be to much
So I just watched your video review on the Speed triple.
What where the deciding factors that swayed you towards the Beemer enough to buy it over the Speed?
I have indeed made a video on my channel as to why I chose the S1000R since I received this question a lot 😇
Nice mate 👍🏍
If you can have only one bike the S1000 is it It is the Swiss Army knife of bikes. Mines the 2021 S1000XR which is the Gen 2 engine You can cruise all day Hit the twists Absolutely the best TFT on any bike.
I had the street triple 765 prior to changing to a tuono v4 factory and although the triumph is lighter to handle the low end and mid range power along with the superbike handling made the choice more easy for me to make
Did you not try or consider the tuono?
i’ve met so many us that go from striple to tuono
I Absolutely love both bikes, was lucky enough to test ride the old S1000R before my Crash.
I think 🤔 I'd be better suited on a street triple 765... If I ever ride again.
Wich one would you guys say is better equiped for the track? The new 2023 765RS is quite track focused...what to say abou the s1000r (2020 version)? Heavier, not as good front brakes, less sharp handling?
Can I ask you size and which did you find more comfortable and cramped?
Nice and interesting vid dude, thanks. I know you are an experienced biker, but just a little advice: you are riding roads that cross the field. The field is usually the natural habitat of different kind of animals, rabbits, rats, etc. What if suddenly a hare decides to cross to the other side of the field? I have seen this kind of stupid accident, for I Iive in town surrounded by a large field, too. Be careful !
It’s a brilliant bike , it’s not scary though imo it’s very stable and well behaved, my Speed triple Rs 1200 is more scary but it’s also fun !
I upgraded to a 2018 BMW S100R and I would say it's a big improvement over the 2009 Triumph Street Triple 675
Spot on! I've replaced my Street RS765 with a Kawa 900RS, which on paper produces 10 horses less than the Striple, but much higher torque. However, the power and torque delivery of the Kawa's inline-four is much more exciting for the street and road. One has to feel the difference.. Never regretted the change. Maybe my next primary bike will be an S1000R Beamer.
I wasnt impressed with my 765 rs. It only had power if you were way up in the rpms, was boring for everyday riding.
Yes it's more of a trackday ride, the 765RS
The Z900RS feels heavy though, nowhere near as agile as the Striple.
@@beefquiche Agreed. ZRS is past history for me now. Changing bikes quite often..
@@pietrovardi9583 Ah cool, I lost interest in the ZRS a while ago after a test-ride, it just felt too heavy and sluggish - Tried the Hypermotard 950 ? I think you might like it ;)
Ironically, I found this video when I just sold my 2015 S1000R and bought a "store new (0 miles)" 2022 Street Triple RS. The S1000R is by Far a better bike. But it's also a lot more expensive, and I never really used more then 75% of the power (with the odd exceptions. You know the kinds).
Like the looks and sound of the triump more.. but the s1000 is great to
Hello guys, Im deciding between 2021 Street Triple RS or an older 2016 BMW S1000R. I am actually absolutely TORN between these two. What would you recommend ? I can have them for the same price where I live.
Went from a 765rs to a duke 890, love it Electrics are superior and the handling is perfectly suited to my style of riding, quite different to to 765
Superior electrics? That's not everyone's KTM experience!
Did you have electrical issues with the 765 ?
@@FlIckme23 by electrics I mean 6 axis imu etc, i didn't have any problems with the triumph or have I with the ktm, fingers crossed it stays that way
I just sold my duke to get the rs the duke sounds disgusting
Just out of curiosity: why not a Speed Triple 1200RS to replace the Street ? 🤔
this is why im in two minds about upgrading my 2020 mt09. my dealership trying to sell me the 2022 mt10 which is another world of bike but i cant help feeling i dont actually need more power.
Mines on order. Are we related?
Motorcycle obsession is like getting laid for the first time, you just want to ride the sh!t out of her all of the time, but then you start wanting to know what every other one rides like also. Riders Anonymous is in my future, I obsess over new and old, any category.
This review was good- and I appreciate the contrast of experience between the two bikes; however the comparison is a bit off- S 1000 r should be compared to the speed triple not the street. The price ratio and power ratios are completely different. Have to compare apples with apples
I'm looking at the new Kawai Ninja H2R and waiting on the price.
Why the naked over the S1000RR? I have a little Ducati 800 cafe racer which is more or less a naked with a slightly more crouched forward riding position, and it's great fun on country roads, but once you're at 80mph plus, the windblast deters riding it faster (not necessarily a bad thing what with speed cameras galore in the UK and punitive points and fines penalties). I have been tempted by the S1000RR mainly as the wind protection the fairing offers would be great on motorways or track days, but I'm a 'mature' rider, and realistically I don't have the reflexes and skills riding I did at 21, so heart aside, the bike I have is fast enough. But, I know what you mean about just wanting a different bike from time to time.
Thank you for your reasons. However, with what you loved about the Street Triple and the extra mid range pull that most litre bikes have and taking into the consideration of your love for the street then this leads to the most obvious question. Why not the Speed Triple? It has more mid range the the BMW and still retains the soundtrack of a 3 cylinder? 🤔
I was in a similar situation with my 765 RS, i ended with the Speed 1200 RS due to it having everything i loved with the street but turned up a notch, i would think the speed has a lot more low and mid range than the 1000R, just being a triple vs inline 4. You dont need to gear down or keep the revs up to chase the power with the 1200 RS.
@@austinno.1 True, however, it’s interesting to see how much the price gaps in different countries can actually go in the other direction. Plus when you factor in any mods then this gap disappears to a degree.
@@austinno.1 $10k extra to go from a 765 to the 1200 is absurd unless you track like once a month. The S1000R base model comes with next to nothing besides the chassis, engine and wheels. Like everything BMW you pay more for every little thing.
Personally I think where the 765 is priced it's absolutely head and shoulders above everything else, possibly with exception of the MT-09SP
Why not stay with Triumph, the speed triple 1200rs?
Curious if you considered the speed triple when upgrading?
I did test ride it but felt the S1000R was more for me
When do we see your touring bike ?
I came the other way, found the s1000 to lack character and was a bit bland, like any other inline 4 naked, came to the triumph for something a bit more interesting
99% of the people commenting on here won’t be able to use either of these bikes to anywhere near their full potential
So it really comes down to looks and budget
does fitting headers void your warranty
very good vid. for me the new headlight of the S1000r is a deal breaker. looks wayyyy to close to its japanese counterparts.
Do you miss the Street Triple RS? I have a Street Triple which I highly enjoy but I too am thinking upgrading to a liter bike. I’m just afraid I might regret trading the STR because it’s such a great middle weight and I love ringing it’s neck and driving it hard.
I do miss the Street Triple as it was such a fantastic bike! Though I am sort of addicted to the extra power of the S1000R... the Street though for its looks, sound, price, build quality
I can understand how the extra power can be addicting. I think I’ll hold on to the Triple for at least another year or two. I have the SC Project slip on with tune and I really want to get the full exhaust and see what kind of difference these new Stringer Variable Velocity Stacks make. I’d also like to see what the future holds for liter bikes in a year or two. So many changes with power upgrades, tech, but then Euro 5 holding them back.
When will you be fitting the heather and dyno?
21st May it's booked in
Colour lets it down. Looks like a red Vauxhall Cavalier that’s faded in the sun
Hi mate, so im now in a position to buy a new 23 765rs or a 22 1000r. Would you sway more towards the s1000 still? Have them both booked in next week for a test ride.
Well he didn't respond so what did you go with I the end?

@@Inked_CR you make me laugh that wasn't even in the original option haha lol.
But nice choice how is it treating you.
Also rsv4 for me personally has a high seat height.
I settled for a bmw s1000r gen2 I say settled it's my first bike looool I skipped 125cc-750cc and just went to 1000cc
I've had it a few days now.
@512460 765 was a little small for me. S1000R I felt was boring. Yes, it's quick, but you've got to rev the engine to get anywhere. It's very characterless.
Tuono is weird to start as it doesn't have a front end when you look over, so initially, you're like 'don't like this,' but once you accelerate, that all goes away lol.
So I pick up a GSA1200 2019 to be my new mile muncher this Friday, but then I am considering an XSR900 or CB1000R as a cafe racer looking bike to go alongside the other 2.
Ride safe.
Until I see you hustle that bike on the country roads giving it grief like you did on the 765 in your older vids I’m Not convinced 😂😂😂 I think your in denial 😂😂😂 🤪 (and secretly miss the rs) 😂😂😜
Great vid bud 👌🏼
I've noticed that too. He used to rip more on the RS. Quite different bikes though.
Apparently our household gets best of both worlds.. I’m on the 21 Street Triple RS & boyfriend is on the 22 S1000
Triumph would have had my money if only it was at least 900cc at the same weight ....sort of an ultra premium MT-09 but as is? Nope I DO love the S1000R however and just got quoted on one today but I may hold out for the M package as I adore the idea of forged wheels etc
Street triple rs only come with quickshifter?
Mate, please watch DriveTribe here in youtube and have a look at their speeds compared to your 30mph speed run. Great channel but needs more speed. Thats how I feel
I had a 2011 675 street triple r. I loved it. It got stolen. I replaced it with a 2019 765rs. I was really disappointed with the gearing on the 765rs. Every time I wanted to feel the power I would have to go upto 8000rpm and I was then doing speeds to lose my licence. I was so disappointed. I then dropped 1 tooth on the front sproket, wow it totally transformed bike. A must do mod for street triple 765
Interesting, what is the result when you drop one tooth in the front?
@@-mystical-16 it feels like the bike has more torque and power straight away instead of having to build the revs
Cool. I may have to put that on my list of to do mods. Does it lose any top end speed with that mod or make it easy to wheelie?
@@-mystical-16 yeh I top out around 220kph now. But I’m also very heavy at 105kgs. Yea makes it much easier to wheelie

I know which one looks the best. By far the triumph. That looks like any other bike on the road to me. The triumph has a lot more character.
Wait until there come time to service it or pay for some repair.
I had two 1000R’s. Suspension very painful
Have you riden the Speed Triple RS 1200 ?
I have yes I did review it too on my channel 😁
@@BikesofRye Cool.
Need to look it up.
I do wonder why you didn't by the xr. It can be a real hooligan.
So basically you wanted to get closer to death lolz.
Yeah pretty much that 🤣
I love the old lights on the s1000r, new light is so boring, it’s really weird, bmw went with so much character on their new cars that that grill, but literally so boring is the design in the mottarad..
My mate sold his he said it was too much he was going to lose his licence 😆
everyone changes the exhaust and then has to get a tune destroying a wonderful 3 year warranty on a very expensive motorcycle if something fails....seriously? Its THAT important to make more noise?
Bro you dont have to tell us why you prefer a BMW
Everyone that rides a BMW bike will ultimately sell their bikes and just ride a BMW, even people with Ducati or h2
BMW is the ultimate bike, and 1000rr is the dream of any biker.
BMW 1000RR remapped to stage 2 and I promise to god you wont need any other bike for the rest of ur life.
Why are you in 5th gear going 20 mph?
Yeah I should have been in 6th gear I know
@@BikesofRye - Ride how you like, I suppose.
But the BM is an ugly bar steward. Only a mother would love. You can see it wasn't built from the ground up. Personally from my point of view, it has to look good. That looks like the girl at the dance in the corner with hobnail boots on lol. The Triumph is the Rorty ravishing redhead in comparison.
Just my tuppence worth.
S1000r is the better bike, clinically.. but the triumph is more fun, and generally just easier on the pocket.. but of course, these two are in two different league.. the 765rs is really mid level in terms of naked power..
Only fun naked is ktm sdr and everybody knows it. Everything else is mediocre among naked bikes.
