Just run in my new 2019 s1000xr,triple black,what an awesome machine.Just wish I was as skilled as you,but getting there slowly,although I'm 71yrs old.Love watching your videos.
Great road, great weather, great riding, great highlights. I love how considerate the other riders/drivers were letting you by. We rarely see that up here in Canada.
Love Your Vids, Your an Amazing Rider. Must be Great to have a Ride with You, but I´m from Germany an that never happened. Allways Good Luck and Stay Safe
I keep thinking about stones/pebbles in the road corners. Really like that you show respect when passing by giving a couple of beeps as you pass. Not all riders have when I've ridden that road and wave them past me. Safe Riding this year.
I havent been able to ride my bike for almost 2 years. Your riding has so much passion in it. Thank you. At some point, God willing, I will ride those streets again but on a S1000XR. Great vids. Thanks!
I would love to be able to ride the mountains as confident and as spirited. If you ever do an overview video of the route, I will watch it a 100 times to learn it all from a pro.
Hey Cuban. Always enjoy watching your awesome videos. Can't wait to start riding my XR. Didn't ride at all last year due to a throttle hand injury. I miss riding. Weather is still cold here in Canada. Hopefully everything will be back to normal soon. Everybody is in isolation here because of COVID-19. Stay safe man. A BIG thanks for putting up the video.
Man, you can really handle that bike. I test rode an XR last year. Loved it but went for the KTM super duke GT. Now sitting in my garage awaiting the end of this terrible lockdown. Respect!
I won't buy the new one since the first gen is already very good, but if BMW gives me one to test I would ride the wheels off it and maybe even change my mind. 😉
@@CubanRider I have a second gen, Imo, definitely not worth switching over if you already have a 1'st gen. Maybe the 3'rd since there seem to be a good number of smart improvements, but I have yet to ride it.
Great to see you back! Thanks for this video, holed up here avoiding the virus and this was great! Still holding on to my 2016 XR. I haven't seen anything to make me jump to a new one.
Fantastic Ride. Great BIKE this S1000XR. Since I rode It, i can,t get out of my brain. By the way. Where,s that fantastic Road?? BEST regards from Spain!!
Top tier riding as usual man. I miss riding so damn much. Wrecked my bike 8 to 9 months back and just haven't been financially able to get another bike. So i can relate to you on that.
Gran combinación, me encanta la moto, como aulla cuando se empieza a estirar el motor y The tail of the Dragon, vaya, impresionante. Hablanos en español algún día. Que todo vaya bien para todos y ánimo.
Positive vibes to you and all around you man, love your contain and your contain. Good riding philosophy and I'm so ready to get this s1000xr one day when the day will come, bike of my dream 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah baby.. beep beep 🤙 that's put a smile on face man , thanks Cuban, stay safe in Europe man the wave just getting here in UK .. lockdown no xr , thinking headers next for me... Stay safe man 🙏
Ánimo broth... Suerte con la moto esperemos q esto acabe pronto a nivel mundial, la situación no está fácil... Y también q salgas probando la nueva 2020 S1000XR!!!! 🤙🤙🤙
Muy buenos tus vídeos. Esa carretera qué es? Un circuito privado para motos? Es preciosa esa ruta. Me sorprendió también el parking con muchísimas plazas para motos. Me pareció no ver que no había ninguna plaza marcada para autos. Cuídate , saludos desde Galicia, España 🇪🇸
Saludos David. Esta carretera es un sueño para los motociclistas, 11 millas de puras curvas sin intersecciones, con camarografos profesionales de los que después puedes ver tus fotos y comprar la que quieras. Esta en la frontera del estado de Tennessee y Carolina del Norte en los Estados Unidos, esta área es mágica con las calles bellas que tiene.
great riding lemme know when you are going back to tn i think we met at COTA last year i had the tuono and i have a 1250GS i wanna do track day on as well
Gracias a ti amigo x subir tus videos tan chidos, sube toooodos los que puedas, nos haces la cuarentena mas digerible. Atte: tu amigo mexicano “peter mac” 😜
Thanks for the video. Because of YOU (not completely but mostly), I'm planning to trade one of my bikes for an XR. I'm just waiting this crazy sh1t Corona (if only it was the beer) virus situation to pass and I'll make my way to the dealership. Stay safe Cuban, I really like your TH-cam channel and hope to see a lot more. Saludos from Portugal.
Good to see you my friend!!! I’ll be there the second they open that border!!!! Get there while it’s quiet!!! Hope to see you there!!! I want a super duke rematch!!! Lol 😂 😜😜😜
Hello Cuban Rider, I love your video. I wish to have your skills to ride :) As we have the same bike, yes ;), I wonder what are your tires in when you ride in the mountain ?
Sweet riding as always dude. Love the sound of that thing. What do you think about the new S1000XR? I actually prefer the looks of the model you have. Take it easy! Dan
Thanks Dan, sorry I missed your comment. I am very intrigued about the new one. Hopefully when I'm home in a few weeks I can find the owner of a 2020 to swap rides and be able to do a video.
Been wondering where you @cubanrider. What tyres you use on yours I jus bought Bridgestone s22 made a hell of difference to the handling of the bike slot stiffer tho so now dynamic is has to be used on perfect roads which we don't have many in the UK, and now were on lockdown and weather is beautiful which once again we don't get alot of over hear. Keep up with videos my mate I have made near enough same modifications to mine that you have. Just waiting on some straight through pipes to let her breath a bit more and also just added Rambo master cylinder corsa Corta wow man you have to try it. Keep up with the videos m8 they help on days like this. Peace Hasta Mañana
Yes Sir! El corsa corta es lo que le quiero poner a la mía ya que se me arruinó la palanca de freno cuando se cayó la moto. Todavía ando con gomas Bridgestone S22, son muy buenas.
Shit I just realized I replied in the wrong language, haha. Yeah man, S22s and want to do the Corsa brake upgrade since mine broke when the bike went down. Can't wait to put it back together.
Great Videos - Got a 2018 XR myself but on lock down so going no-where - I am in the UK and keep thinking about the Bren tuning, you seem to have had all options - did you need any further dyno work? Or did you just flash the MCU and away you go Spock - whap factor 2 - hope you and family all keep safe and your enthusiasm for motorcycling really comes through - great videos
Thanks Tony! No dyno work needed for my bike, but last time I checked on the 17 and newer you had to send them your ECU to get flashed which is less than ideal. I think if I had a newer one, I would just go with the Rapid Bike and recoup some of my money if I decide to sell/trade the bike.
is thats the tail of the dragon road? you would love to ride on the roads of the island were i live "Saint Michael island on Azores" thats the kind of road that i use every day to go to work on the north side of the island, coming and going 75km of pure adreneline betwin corners, thanks for the video, due to the situation and the road blocks here i´m at 1 month close at home and my tracer 900 sleeps and sleeps.
Yes, that's the famous tail of the dragon, it's a roller coaster. I just looked up Saint Michael island, it's beautiful! Would love to ride there for sure. I'm also away from the bikes, it's a little depressing, but soon enough I should be back to riding. Take care!
I was wondering how your bike is holding up re: reliability. I work in a bike shop (have been in that industry since 2004.) and I've come across just a handful of XRs, one R and one RR (1st gen all of them) and they all needed engine work VERY early on (most before 15.000km). The S1000R I rode 2 years ago is still one of the best bikes I ever had a ride on and I would absolutely LOVE to own the XR. Great videos, much love from Croatia.
Thanks! I follow the S1000XR forums and Facebook groups and for the most part these bikes are very reliable. A bad water pump, a stuck ignition and other minor issues are things that come up every once in a while, but they are rare considering the many R/XR/RRs are out there being wrung out every ride (to include mine) without issues.

@@CubanRider Thanks for the reply. It's really strange how different experiences people have here, it must be the very first gen of these bikes then. There's multiple ones completely falling apart (the entire engine needed replacing) including one in a big magazine here, I believe it was the Motorrad in Germany that didn't make it through the 50.000km marathon test without engine failure. The new 900XR is a more realistic goal for me tho. ;)
HOLA COMPAÑERO. AQUÍ EN ESPAÑA ESPERANDO MI S1000XR, PASARAN AUN MUCHOS DÍAS HASTA QUE LA PUEDA DISFRUTAR, MIENTRAS TANTO SE AGRADECEN VÍDEOS COMO EL TUYO PARA PODER DISFRUTAR DE VER LO BIEN QUE VAS EN MOTO. UN SALUDO CUBAN RIDER!!
that's a good tire for sure. I keep getting crazy good deals on the Bridgestone S21/S22, so that's what I keep buying... usually buy a set for under $200 with the rebate.
Un saludo Cuban Rider, un día supe de ti por instagram pero me alegra saber que sigues bien, ya llegarán mejores épocas, ahora hay que ganar a este virus cabrón, nosotros en España ya llevamos mas de dos semanas confinados en casa, se hace duro pero es la única forma de vencerlo, así que muchos ánimos y fuerza, esperamos volver a ver tus vídeos pronto y que por allí consigáis doblegarlo pronto, que vuestros gobiernos no lo infravaloren porque en Europa, aún teniendo una sanidad fuerte, esta haciendo estragos. Un abrazo.
Great videos, really enjoy watching. Wondering what camera and chin mount you're using? I assume you have an aux mic in the helmet or? Great engine sound! Thanks!
Hey, thanks for watching! The camera is an older GoPro Hero5 Session using GoPro's adapter that allows you to feed it power and an external mic. Now if GoPro would only make a Hero8 "Session" that would be phenomenal, but in the meanwhile the older camera still puts out decent quality and it's nice and compact. The only mic I use is tucked in my helmet, in the future I'd like to use an additional external microphone to pick up some of the exhaust sound better, but I have to admit the helmet mic works better than I had ever expected.
@@CubanRider Great, thanks. I have a Hero 5 as well (and a 7), the 5 does very well. I have the GoPro aux adapter too. Just to be clear- You're using a helmet chin mount and have both the Aux GpPro dongle and the external power mounted on your helmet (on the chin mount)? I've been using a side helmet mount, and thinking about using a mount like you're using.
Hey DEG, I usually run about the same pressures whether at the track or the mountains, roughly 30 psi cold. I might adjust depending on the temperature or if I'm riding with the Mrs, but 30/30 for my weight is a good starting point on a hot day riding solo
@Cuban Rider Hey, thank you for the content. Just curious, what trye pressures do you run for road use? I've found the stock pressures waaaaay too high. Can't do a run to set them up for my use case, since we're almost all "grounded", so I'm just stuck here asking around.
I agree about the stock pressures being high, great for tire wear and loading the bike up, not so great for corner grip. I normally run it as I would on a track, around 30-32 psi cold. It depends on the temperature that day and whether I'm going to be riding with my wife, in that case I would bump it up to around 34 cold.
You upload great videos, as a new rider i try to pickup things here and there from your riding but i still have big fears to push past my leaning and speed barriers. Do you know these roads before riding like this or do you just send it?
Yes, I have ridden this mountain road many times before. Flowing on these corners is not easy, specially with the big BMW, but once you get a good idea of how the turns go, you start building confidence.
Just run in my new 2019 s1000xr,triple black,what an awesome machine.Just wish I was as skilled as you,but getting there slowly,although I'm 71yrs old.Love watching your videos.
The triple black is beautiful, the color I would have chosen if given the choice. I hope I'm healthy enough to be riding at 70+, keep it up!
Great road, great weather, great riding, great highlights. I love how considerate the other riders/drivers were letting you by. We rarely see that up here in Canada.
Love the way you ride. Never gets old. To bad to hear from the incident but happy to hear you and the bike are Allright. Can't wait for new content
Love Your Vids, Your an Amazing Rider. Must be Great to have a Ride with You, but I´m from Germany an that never happened. Allways Good Luck and Stay Safe

Riding reminds me of Schaaf...both of you excellent!
I was JUST watching a Schaaf video... watching him is like watching one of my videos
Cuban
Glad to see you post again!
BMW needs to give you a big commission check for all the S1000XR you have sold due to your TH-cam videos!
Stay safe!
I won't buy the new one since the first gen is already very good, but if BMW gives me one to test I would ride the wheels off it and maybe even change my mind. 😉
@@CubanRider Next time you are in SoCal, I will take you to Riverside BMW Motorcycles and test ride all their demos!
@@CubanRider I have a second gen, Imo, definitely not worth switching over if you already have a 1'st gen.
Maybe the 3'rd since there seem to be a good number of smart improvements, but I have yet to ride it.

I’m bringing the Motard as well!!!! Endless fun
Feeling it Cuban, thanks mate!
I was jealous of your respect while giving way to someone else ,👏👏
Love seeing that traction control goes crazy 😂😂
Best selling point of this bike for me is how good these electronics work.
Had a s1000R and agree. BMW have top shelf electronics. I think the XR is the best all rounder.
Do you ride in Dynamic Pro mode? Is yes, does it turn the electronics off? You seem to wheelie a lot !
Just got to 6.30 mins. Cancel that question! 😁
Hello Cuban Rider, I love your video. I wish to have your skills to ride :) As we have the same bike, yes ;), I wonder what are your tires in when you ride in the mountain ?

Smoothness....
I was wondering how your bike is holding up re: reliability. I work in a bike shop (have been in that industry since 2004.) and I've come across just a handful of XRs, one R and one RR (1st gen all of them) and they all needed engine work VERY early on (most before 15.000km). The S1000R I rode 2 years ago is still one of the best bikes I ever had a ride on and I would absolutely LOVE to own the XR. Great videos, much love from Croatia.
Thanks! I follow the S1000XR forums and Facebook groups and for the most part these bikes are very reliable. A bad water pump, a stuck ignition and other minor issues are things that come up every once in a while, but they are rare considering the many R/XR/RRs are out there being wrung out every ride (to include mine) without issues. I think every manufacturer has a couple of bad apples, but my first one was extremely reliable for 35k miles and this one I expect it to be the same.
@@CubanRider Thanks for the reply. It's really strange how different experiences people have here, it must be the very first gen of these bikes then. There's multiple ones completely falling apart (the entire engine needed replacing) including one in a big magazine here, I believe it was the Motorrad in Germany that didn't make it through the 50.000km marathon test without engine failure.

What tires do you ride with. Super videos
Thanks! These are Bridgestone Battlax S22, great tires for street riding.
A state might help! How do you suppress wind noise?
hello Bro thanck for this video , what the exhaust ?
It's just catless headers into stop slip-on 👌
@@CubanRider thank you :)
the orange light blinking is anti wheelie or traction control?
Ciao cuban raider ma quel accessorio sopra il tachimetro che cos'è???
nice road, and good skills. I have same bike, which tires are u using now? I was thinking about new M9 rr thx!
that's a good tire for sure. I keep getting crazy good deals on the Bridgestone S21/S22, so that's what I keep buying... usually buy a set for under $200 with the rebate.
Cuban Rider thank you! And hope one day to ride on those roads too! They look awesome 💪

Hi what tires you ride on your XR?
Hello from the UK
Are you riding a XR or RR as i wish mine sounded that good ?? Lov your channel .Stay safe my friend.

What tire pressures you use on the streets?
And track?

That noise after 6000rpm.......
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING POWER BMW

Is that yellow blinking light on your tach indicating traction control? Noticed it was primarily blinking when you were gassing through the corners
OMG how do you drive 👏👏 I also have an xr and the traction control does not skip me, how do you do it? greetings ✌️✌️✌️✌️
Maybe it has to do with my worn tires? 😄 Mine is tuned and I ride it aggressively out of the corners, that's why you see the T/C working overtime.

Hi there! What do you think about the new s1k xr 2020? plz review if you got to drive 1
I'll be looking for the owner of the new one when I get back to see if we can swap rides.
Do you have a minimum air temperature you prefer in order to ride like this so your tires aren't too cold? Thx
You upload great videos, as a new rider i try to pickup things here and there from your riding but i still have big fears to push past my leaning and speed barriers.
Do you know these roads before riding like this or do you just send it?
Yes, I have ridden this mountain road many times before. Flowing on these corners is not easy, specially with the big BMW, but once you get a good idea of how the turns go, you start building confidence.
Which radar detector and mount do you have? I can’t tell on the video.
It's an older Escort X50 zip tied to the stock GPS mount
Great idea but aren’t you afraid someone will cut the zip ties and steal it? I’m wondering if there is another way to mount one to that gps mount.
Just bought a brand new S1000XR (Triple Black colour scheme). What exhaust and ECU tune do you use, if any?
The Triple Black is beautiful, on one of my recent videos I follow a triple black up the mountain.
una bela moto ,mas no é nueva una vuelta com la S1000 XR de 2020
Is the xr good for tall men?
It is perfect for taller riders, not so great for shorter riders.
Cuban Rider, the only person I would ride as passenger for. No homo.
🤣🤣🤣 I laughed out loud at this.
where are these roads?
Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee and North Carolina
