- Having recently sold my gen 3, BMW 1000rr , which I liked but wasn't using , my plan was to replace it with a Sports or Hyper naked . I tried 3 bikes and opted for the the new M1000R.
This video details some of the specifications and technology, comments on my view of the looks and finish , takes you on a gentle GoPro ride, before concluding with my "first impressions" . I hope you enjoy the video !

A pleasure to meet you today dude at kings 👍🏻
Likewise . It was good to have a chat 👍
Yes you are right the front calipers are nissin they are badged on the inside.
Thanks James . I actually saw it when I watched the draft filming back 🤦😂
Loved this! Really good overview. Thanks Michael
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I’ve only just discovered your channel and wanted to say how much I enjoy it. I’m set up for alerts and look forward to future videos.
Glad you enjoy them . Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 👍
Hi Michael I found your video to be very informative and entertaining. One of the best videos of the M1000R cheer’s Ricky
Glad you enjoyed it . Never sure If I am the right reviewer for the M series but as it is my bike ,enjoyed doing it .
Great review look forward to your next updates.
Thanks 👍
Great video Michael nice one mate stay safe and hope to see you very soon
Thanks Boo . Always good to hear from you . 👍
Awesome realistic review...loved it. Stay safe and keep it up.👍
Another smashing review Michael, makes me miss my 2015 s1000r from a couple of years ago and I definitely look at one of these if garage room permitted 😊.
Buy a bigger garage David ? 😊
My 20 hp RE Meteor makes me smile every time. I can use all of the hp most of the time 🙂. "To each their own", springs to mind. That's not to say I wouldn't mind a test ride. 😉
😂
Another excellent review of a stunning machine. I was very pleased to see that BMW have fitted the excellent Bridgestone tyres as a stock item. I wish Kawasaki would do the same. Well done Michael. 🫡
Thank you Taff . Glad you enjoyed it . Looking forward to your Radio show later 👍
Great review!!
Glad you liked it . Thank you
Fantastic Motorbike and a fantastic video.
Thanks Stevie . I agree on the first . Fantastic Motorbike 👍
Thankyou, a very informative review. I am about to pull the trigger and buy either this one or the more sedate S1000R M Sport non shift cam motor producing around the 168 horsepower. Only for the street is my application. Tough decision but exciting as no matter which one I decide on I think I will be very happy 👍
Thanks again
Nice problem to have Jeff ! Have fun .
Great video !
Glad you enjoyed it
Great report as Always Michael does make one think about how far these. Bikes r going to go Wie hp and torque love the look and sound of it I follow another chap whose S1000r has 165 hp and hes Always! startled at that keep up the good work
How fast road bikes ( and cars) can be has been a debate that has raged since the invention of the engine . Like you , I am not sure where the line is , but great that they continue to push the boundaries , even if it needs a track to enjoy it ?
Beautiful bike and an interesting observation about a bike's capability vs one's own. These are not sensible machines, but who cares, as long as they bring up a smile :-)
Personally I think it great that manufacturers continue to push the boundaries . We just need to be careful where we ride them and how 👍
The sight glass for the oil looks like a port hole, lol, great video and bike Mr M.
685 miles so far, if anyone missed it. The Donington experience may prove that its not necessarily an absence of rider skill, rather than a subconscious reliance on tech which is suddenly removed.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment . I suspect there is something in the sudden removal of technology but I am happy to share experiences where I am the butt of the joke . I am an average rider but do enjoy a few track days every year now and gradually getting a bit more comfortable with it . Really enjoying the M . 👍
I actually like the looks of it, great video, as always very well presented. Though, I'm unsure about driving such powerful motorbikes on the road. I ride around on a 30bhp CB300r that does 0 to 100kph in 7 seconds which isn't exactly fast, but 90 percent faster than your average general traffic, anything faster than the legal limits, puts you in massive risk with the law if you're caught, So when I see and admire such amazing machines like this, It's just a huge waste of resources in the real world. Don't get me wrong, If it's for the track, then it's well worth the money, but anything to do with commuting or going to the pub, I simply can't justify it. On the roads, anything over 20bhp that can do 110kph consistently, has to be said is simply for pure ego / self indulgence and your own enjoyment which is fair I guess, but if I can't use all that power ( on high powered bikes ) when ever I want, what is the point.
This is why small CC singles end up being the most fun bikes to ride, but not very impressive to others, but who cares.
I know the M has it, but I wonder if the standard S1000R will ever adopt the ShiftCam technology. I have a R1250R, and along with the monstrous twin torque, its ShiftCam sustains power and torque all across the power band. I *love* the look of the S1000R, but the weaker low-end and lower mid-range power delivery - where most of us ride 90% of the time - of the 4-cyl. keeps me away. A S1000R with ShiftCam (and without the M1000R pricetag) would be irresistible.
Good to hear from you . Manufacturers do tend to cascade technology down the range as new technology emerges but whether they do this for the S1000R remains to be seen . I was actually surprised , but delighted when they put the MRR tech on an upright bike . Just what I was looking for to replace my RR ..👍
Bike looks great, and many happy miles on her. Wonder what the luggage and screen options are and if you will go down that road
No plans to tour on the M Paul . Will just enjoy it as a “Hyper naked”
Great video Michael. I reckon it will be like a fruit pastille you just have to
chew it and you will be compelled to twist the throttle..it sounds wonderful BTW.. ride safe..
😂 Great comment !
great youtube video! made me chuckle in a few places also :) such a great overview of the m1000r
Thank you . Glad you enjoyed it . We have fun making them although of course, some of the funnier bits get edited out 😂
Nice presentation, but i have a question . How much Mpg do you get ? City riding or...usual riding ?
Now Michael that thing is a sexy beast. Beautiful!!!!
😂. It is certainly a weapon !
Hi Michael.
Nice video.👍🏻
Is there any chance to let me know the length of the sterling bar from end to end? I need to know if that beast will pass through the gate to my shed.
I will try and get out to the bike tomorrow 👍
Just measured the bike Marius . Bar end to end , 84 cms , if you include the mirrors , 99 cms .. 👍
Had a test ride on one of these from Cotswold Motorrad. Did 10 mins along the dual carriageway to Ciren at 70mph, and the vibration was so bad it made my hands go numb! Seems strange as I know S1000RR owners who say their engines are very smooth. How do you find it?
Definately a buzz though the bars Fred .. I mention it at the end of the GoPro section. I am ok with it at the moment . I will let everyone know how I feel about it once I have done a few thousand more miles 👍
9:36 Some dash! Too fast for me. Nick
Hi Michael i have a triumph 765rs street do i need the BMW m100r only looking at speed triple and other 1000 super naked just don't know what to buy any help please
Bikes are very personal . What one person likes , another dislikes and the speed and way people ride varies significantly ..
What many do is make a list of bikes that they think they might like , within their price range , and research them often starting on TH-cam . Narrow it down to two or three and then go to see them in dealers .
I narrowed my search to a Ducati StreetFighter , Aprilia Factory Tuono and M1000R , test rode them all , and bought the M. Both the other bikes were great bikes but didn’t suit me .
@@michaelmam thank you for your reply i am going to try a speed triple soon but been riding my street triple last few days and am thinking is this all i need it does all i ask and more think the BMW M1000 might be too much for me a the s1000 might be a better option might just hang on till 2025 and re vist take care ride safe
Fabulous bike. Love my competition version. Had a full Akra fitted and a Brent tune and sprint race filter fitted. The remap gave 40 more horse power in mid range and it put out 202 hp at back tyre. Really comfortable too. Love it.
Ratios are different 46 not 47, makes it accelerate harder. Peaks at 176mph rather than 187. You could alter them to rr spec easy enough but anything over 120 and a naked bike is hard work so bmw decision makes sense to me.
Also if you think that bike is tall don’t try the m1000rr. I’m 6ft 2 and I’m on the top half of my foot standing with it.
Sounds like you are having fun!
Awesome bike. I watch your videos a lot. Glad you seem to be enjoying yours.
You said it has 208hp it has 210hp:)
I think the guys at BMW told me that it was 210 with the titanium headers, 208 without 🤔🤷🏼♂️ . Not sure I am fast enough to tell the difference..👍
That is a properly hideous looking bike, how much ever it may boast about it's technical or technological prowess.
Great review as always!
😂 beauty is in the eye of the beholder…
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍
@@michaelmam Hope no offence was taken, Sir! Wishing you many happy miles ahead.
@@aumkar2 no offence at all . TH-cam is all about different opinions 👍
Looks like you haven’t a sip of oil in the engine sir 🙈
It is fine . You can’t see oil in the window , when it is on the side stand . If you can , you have over filled it , but thank you though ..
Was panicking, have an xr myself and can see oil when on side stand, strange on the R it looks empty
If its anything like what I have owned within this brand then if new no problems but just try owning an older model of any B.M.W. and good luck with that one .Over priced Over rated bits of C...p !! I know I am going to get a slating for saying so but after 50 years of riding I honestly think this company needs to sort itself out re customer service for older machines !! Make of that what you will but if you can afford this machine I guess you just dont care ??
You are clearly annoyed about your experience .
I have just sold a 17 year old BMW that I have owned from new and was perfect . I would suggest everyone who buys any bike, cares about how reliable it proves to be ?
Not sure what that means but what ever floats your boat then so be it now be honest about how much you have spent my V.F.R. is over 20 years old and appart from tyres 4 bats 16 spark plugs and a few gallons of oil it has cost me nothing so how much did your beloved machine cost you ???please please let me know and be honest Then depending on what you say I will eat humble pie !!@@michaelmam
The man gives an honest view of his experience of many different bikes which most of us enjoy why your having a pop at him because your bad experience with bmw is baffling I’ll be looking forward to next video bmw or not.
@@georger7967 Thank you ..
DRIVING impressions? Really?
No , not really ..
To my eye it looks a mess. A bit like multicolour camouflage trying to find a tricolour flag to hide in front of. The truth is that it hides the style, which is actually very dated. It reminds me of an early, partially defrocked Fireblade in some ways.
I didn't understand your comment about the Ducati at town speeds. Mine is more than happy to tootle without complaint, and then respond with throttle when asked, and it does so without the uninspiring, ubiquitous 4 in line drone. The M1000r is clearly a great bike, dynamically and functionally, as most big bikes are these days, but to be honest, for me it is lacking in the, what is often called, soul department, which makes me want to buy this type of machine. I do have 2 BMW as well, in case you think I am a BMW hater. Happy riding.
Great to hear your views . We are all different , and look for different things in our bikes . One Michael’s “uninspiring “ is another’s , “just right “😂
Great review….how you getting on with it now Michael?
Im looking at getting one of the supernakeds this summer but undecided as of yet
I seem to have spend most of the winter, riding and testing Adventure bikes … looking forward to the rain stopping , roads drying and sun appearing . M is high on the list .. 😂
@@michaelmam …..have you ran it in yet?
Do the vibration cause issues?
Some of these supernakeds are intimidating even though Ive been riding 30yrs so you feel the Bmw is ok
@@markjones3551I have had the first service but probably needs a few more miles to be fully run in . It is a powerful bike and shakes ,rattles and barks like one but I personally feel it is manageable if ridden appropriately and with respect . I found the Ducati V4 S the most “lively” of the ones I looked at but I was riding mostly in sports mode . Very pleased with mine so far. No issues and raring to go ..
@@michaelmam …cheers Michael….looks stunning in my opinion and if its manageable that’s a bonus🤣
