More videos to come! I even made a playlist specifically for bike reviews :) th-cam.com/play/PLC0dZgVosHtsxPvzkIDswjw2YjCVodY6Y.html
Do a review on suzuki GSX S1000GT (2022) please
Would like to see a review of the 1250RT. And see how it compares to your GS.
It's so much more interesting to watch bike reviews from someone like you than a 'regular' boring youtube motorcycle reviewer. Feels like we are getting the no nonsense description of the way it would actually feel to own and ride a bike. Thanks and please keep up with this kind of videos!
True. I think it’s nice that he doesn’t focus on the specs and just rides the thing and gives feedback.
Its nice to know it rides well on straight roads
@@focusdanielsan2580 It rides excellent on the curvy roads as well.
I've had a '21 M Sport XR going on a year and I love it! M package comes with an Akrapovic pipe, "maintenance free" M chain, M forged wheels, and a super light battery. I have the low suspension version. I'm 6 foot and I can flat foot it. I know of no one who has more skill that can handle that bike, pull the trigger and buy it! You wont regret it...
I have 17k miles on my 2016xr. Absolutely love it still!! I ride hard northern CA, coast and mountains. Rented on in Milan Italy and did 2200 miles in 10 eays the Alps, perfect bike! No problem with it yet! I do hear complaints about vibrations, no worse than my 2017RR. Stick with Pirel tires. Yeah old guy 55 years here
I’ve been watching your videos the last year, love your content! I’m a XR22 owner and I can approve all you are saying about it in this video, it has so much technology, really comfortable and so responsive at high revs! Thanks again bro, cheers from Guatemala
I hv a 21 XR. I love it. Hadn't rode in 12 years when I bought it. It is everything I need it to be. My last bike I owned (back in the day) was a full on sportbike. The XR is Comfortable, has CC, heated grips, place to mount luggage, good wind protection, semi active suspension all the good stuff you mentioned and then some. Went for a day ride into the GA mtns ystrdy from SC. 300+ day and I couldn't ask for a better bike for me.... BMW made me a believer lol .
Seems like a really nice bike. You can just feel his enthusiasm while riding it. I will say Greg has bought a few new bikes that's he's been very excited about initially and then sold them within a year so you have to decide for yourself if it's the bike for you.
Couldn't agree with you more. I just upgraded my 2006 Triumph Sprint ST for a 2022 BMW S1000XR and couldn't be happier. Actually I'd be happier if the weather was nicer 😕
I bought the 2022 s1000xr m package , I’m 5,8 , 30” inside leg and I had it factory lowered when I ordered it and it’s perfect for my size everything you have said is spot on , amazing bike .
Love your videos , keep them going for us Scottish subscribers 👍
I ride the 22 M Sport. It comes with all bells and whistles including the Akra can and sounds a bit better. While I am an experienced rider, I am not a very skilled sport bike rider, but I am enjoying it to the core and learning it every day. The best bike I ever owned which is also making me learn more and keeping me upright with its technology!
Great video. I LOVE my 2018 “loaded” XR. After four year of ownership, still grinning every time I head down my street.
i have the same exact model for 4 mos now. the rev limiter after 600 miles turned the bike into a complete beast. M chain is nice addition. bought MRA VXCM windshield and never noticed doing 100mph because of the comfort. the bike is just amazing. by the way, the new update for TFT will let you go to the last screen. BT connections were all polished and no cuts on my cardo and iphone now.
right? then when I got my Brentune it felt like the 600 mile unlock all over again 😂
Same, it's a great bike
I bought the 2021 last year and it’s the best motorcycle I’ve ever owned, just ticks all the boxes for me! Go for it, you’ll never regret it and Thats advice from a former GS owner.
Just ordered the 2023 M1000R black competition package. Can't wait!
Great review thanks !. I had the 2020 BMW R 1250 GS ADV EXC TE and loved it. I bought the 2022 bmw s1000xr m sport, this year andI sold the GS to my brother. Both bikes are amazing. For shorter sporty spins, nothing like the gixxer 750 and the KTM 350 exc-f for the dirt.
Being a detailer at a BMW garage, the GSA and the 1000XR are most popular. Brilliant videos as normal, thank you!!
Regards from 🇬🇧
Thank you! I appreciate your no BS attitude in your training vids and app. Great for bike reviews, too!
I recently rented an S100XR and, like you, found the engine and quick shifter to be unbeatable. It also handles great and rides smoother than I thought it would. The seat is also very comfortable. Oh yeah, and it hauls ass!
Great review Greg, I really like riding different bikes & getting more feel for the style of riding I'm doing. If you feel like getting the bike then do it! Variety is the spice of life.
No Doubt. This one is by far way better than most of the others I have ridden. Very comfortable, very good seat and position. Love it, it enjoyable and yet very practical.
You’re absolutely right. That bike is something else! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Go for it! I would love to see some more S1000XR content. I am riding a 2017 myself. Amazing bikes.
An aftermarket seat is a must! I got the Sargent revolution seat upgrade on mine and now it’s perfect!
Great video! I'm 67, a 1200 GS rider-and you got me a little excited about this bike...if I were your age, or a bit closer to it, I think I'd have to consider this. But I think I'll remain a GS guy from here on out. When I get too old for the 1200, I'll probably end up on a 700, or 310. Great channel,always love watching !
I’m 65, and I keep thinking, I’m and old man, should this 2016 1000xr… Then, today I rode some favorite mountain passes, and I do every time I ride this thing, giggle like a maniac !!!! I’m keeping it!!!!
This is a great bike for what you like in a bike. It also has an amazing track capability. There is a TH-camr named Cuban Rider, who rocks this bike out on track. Great video, thanks!
Being the owner of a 22 XR, all i can say is this is the best you can have at the moment for the street if you have the budget for it. Having owned the RR and R. It offers almost everything those 2 models had, but with comfort. It's basically a do-it-all bike.
Yep best bike iv had yet
I need to upgrade my Z900
What about the multistrada v4s pikes peak?
@@chrispailor3317 Haven't ridden one yet. But i reckon it's pretty much the same thing, just a different brand. From what i heard, it is not as agile as the XR. And that version of the Ducati is also around 12K more expensive than the base price BMW. In the end, i guess it comes down to your preference and what you can afford.
Your reviews are phenomenal!
Just gonna say this- Get the bike already- you want it and it will do what you need and over-satisfy what you might want. But- you do you.
Very cool video. I have a 22 XR, triple black like this one, full options . It was the demo bike from the dealer. Got it with 300 kms at a 2500 $ discount. I'm 57 and always been a " sport" rider, so that's the perfect bike for riders like me. Go for it, it's a hell of a bike. Greetings from Spain !
I put risers on mine....as comfortable as a scooter....absolutely luv ❤️ 😍 her.
How to talk yourself into a new bike in one easy step. Too funny!!! Great job on the videos as usual.
I absolutely LOVE that you are such a BMW fanboy - such great bikes - keep those reviews coming! Please do an r1250rt, r1250rs, r18 B and r18 transcontinental as well... and have you tried the f850gs?
I’m sure you know this, but you have great insight into bikes. I have 45 years experience and your opinion means so much to me it’s incredible. I have experience with many bikes, from dirt, sport, cruiser to adventure and i am now looking at purchasing a s1000XR and I blame (or thank) you for that. I’m looking at the 2023, s1000xr, m package, adding the bags and I’m going to add the titanium exhaust. Then, I’m going to get it brentune stage II to get 170hp. Great review, couldn’t be more accurate with this bike.
These review vids have been terrific. Best part is watching you ride.
I just tried the demo today. Wow this is a different machine than my kawasaki z900. Its so easy to ride and speed. Braking power is amazing. The power. Wow. Lucky you for riding this amazing machine.
You seem to be enjoying yourself the most in this video. Looks like this bike might be the one for the upcoming videos
You just showed everyone why I have been riding sport touring motorcycles for years. The S1000XR is nicer than my bike that is for sure. However, the functionality of a sport tourer is unbeatable especially if you commute to work or take overnight trips. Thanks for showing this. I should head to my local BMW dealer.
damn straight - best bike on the road!!!! Rode last night 45 mins in 48 degree Fahrenheit temps with windshield up and heated grips - no issue! You can also remove the navigation mount (easy) if you're not going to purchase the unit...which greatly adds better visibility.
Your video had a lot to do with the purchase of my 23’ M1000XR, thanks!
Holy F this video is fun to watch...must have viewed it 10 times. Great bike and fun to see someone clearly having fun :).
Was looking at getting a r1250 rs or gs, now considering the XR.
Amazing channel, keep videos coming .
Cheers
David
I always take some time to watch your videos! I enjoy your reviews on bikes , thanks . Could you do a review on the BMW 1250 RS ? Would like to get your opinion on that sport touring bike !
I like these bike reviews you are doing as of late. Good stuff
In case y’all don’t know, you can get all the same Sport screen info (plus logging) from the XR on a GS/A if you use the BMW Connected App and a BMW Connected Cradle (and probably any other bike with GPS prep, of course). One of the best features of the BMW Connected App/Cradle, when it decides to all work correctly (it’s not 100% bulletproof), and it’s controllable via the BMW wonder-wheel/menu buttons on the handlebars.
About the throttle. You choose Dynamic Pro and i think it's the same as the USER mode from the 2015-2018 BMWs where you can set your response and DCT how you like it in the menu. So maybe the responds in dynamic pro is set on road and not dynamic and could be more direct (or how many would say twitchy ;) )
Anyways…GREAT bike. I rode one too in 2020 and it was awesome.
And great video too as always :)
Definitely will check it out at the local shop. For an Edelweiss tour in the Dolomites, I wanted something light and easier to toss in the twisties in the Alps, so I tried an F900 R - naked roadster. OMG…fun little thing. Now am thinking of the F900 XR…or, dang -. Traded in my K1300S in May this year for a 2022 RT and love it for 1000-2000+ mile trips. Still…the S100XR is making me think…
Gonna test drive this tomorrow morning... I can't wait
Current own a Tracer 900GT. Would love to upgrade to this. The same concept but more power, which is always welcome.
Gotta love that So Cal weather, 43 this morning on my way to work in Modesto.
Thanks for your reviews, it’s very fun to watch
When you talk about awesome bike, this is a perfect exemple!👌✌
Wow! What a cool bike. Love to see a test ride in the twisties. I have a 2014 R1200RT which I also bought from SD BMW. Good people. Now in Santa María where we now have a BMW dealership/ Harley but I know SD BMW treated me very well.
I owned 2020 model triple black and am in LOVE with this bike hopefully soon I will upgrade it to 2022 model 😍🤩😍🤩🔥🔥🔥
Excellent review ! I knew it was good , now I really know the XR is 👍 I've got a 21 F750GS right now that I absolutely ❤️ , this could be my next one too Jitsu . Could be a while though these bikes last a long time , and this is my 1st Beemer . Just got back from a wk.ender camping near Dallas. Wow what bike. Glad I got the performance model.
gotta love seeing my city, keep making these videos Fast Eddie(Greg)!
I have the 2019 1000XR, also in triple black, and it's hands down the best bike I've ever owned.
Cost of ownership?
I love my 2020 900xr. I scraped a foot peg a few rides ago for the first time which freaked me out. Max lean angle read 42 degrees on that side.
Great review. Props to San Diego BMW for being such a great dealer. The XR is a great bike and all things considered, a pretty good value.
Great vid, thank you.
I agree! I have the 2022 M-Sport package version, with the OEM cases (sides and topcase). It is an absolute joy to ride this bike. My R1250R doesn't get much saddle time since I bought the S1000XR.
Can you fit a helmet in the top case?
@@axist2389 Yes - fits great.
I have a 1st gen 2016 S1000XR. So much fun to ride.
Thank god for your channel. It is a godsend to have someone like you to tell us relentlessly EXACTLY everything about what we should wear, how we should ride, and how to put the kickstand down. PROPERLY, CHILDREN! I can't think of any better reward for riding a motorcycle than to be told every last detail, repeated monotonously, by somebody who obviously knows everything about everyone's riding and bike and situation.
EggsALent sarcasm ! [Or was it Heavy Irony ?]
Keep it going with these type videos🎉
Enjoying all the recent bike reviews Greg! Could tell you were pretty close to trading in the GS.
Great bike for sure, one of the best! Thank you.
I own a 1st gen xr. It is a sport bike on stilts with a livable riding position.
I took the sport bike even more with brentuning flash and full exhaust. Now it alot more hp. Alot!
The penny dropped.
I have the 2019 in triple black with 3 panniers.
I use it all year round in Belgium for around 30k kms a year, some 7000 kms a year lane filtering through Brussels rush hour.
It is the best ever.
I’m looking forward to your next video of where you bought this:-) I can hear you talking yourself into it the whole time😂. I support the decision! That thing is incredible.
Thanks mate for video and advise 👌🤝
Have this guy, with the Bren tune and decat went up one tooth in the front and it's unstoppable
Finally reviewed the bike I ride! I love my 2018
Like the reviews keep them coming
Just a note on the “dynamic pro” setting. It does not have the most power necessarily unless you go into the venues and eliminate all the nannies. If you want the absolute most power, you just stick it in dynamic mode and hang on.
Have toured extensively on this in Europe, really an awesome bike in all circumstances. Warning, if you test ride you will buy.
I’ve Got a 2015, still going strong. tried the 2020 but for some reason didn’t excite as much? Have just tried 2022 and they’ve managed to add much improvement but I couldn’t work what it was (narrower bars?) exactly - but it’s v. good! They’ve ironed out the wrinkles it had previously and even easier to go fast on!
Nice! For the money I would prefer the standard Tuono V4 but the XR is a valid choice.
Motojitzu should get a commission because I went out and bought that triple black s1000xr after watching that video. It's my favorite bike of alltime so far!
Nice. This bike is right down my alley. I suspect you’ll be buying one soon. :)
Try out an R12500RS. It’s a sport touring bike with the same boxer engine as your GS.
Informative review. I have an RT and a good relationship with my BMW dealer, so when I was looking for a sport tourer (technically my RT IS a sport tourer, but it leans heavily, pun intended, on the touring side), I test rode the 900 XR and S1000XR. I preferred the larger displacement of the two and felt that the bigger bike had better brakes, power delivery and suspension. I also test rode a 2021Tracer 9GT. In absolute terms the S1000XR was more powerful, had better suspension, and the brakes had more feel, but I wound up buying the Yamaha. I didn't need, nor would I ever exploit, all of the capabilities of the BMW. And the Yamaha was significantly less expensive. As always, it's important to ask yourself where and how you want to ride.
I never ever buy a Tracer GT9 instead of an XR. I have a '18 XR and I tested my friends' GT9 (also tried long term the Gen2 XR). They are in a very different league. On street I would not miss the power, but the suspension, brakes and electronics (DESA, cornering ABS, etc.) makes the XR superior. XR does not have a competition on the market now (Multis are meant for different segment, as the SADV too). It can nearly give you the comfort of a GS (with pillion and luggage), you can tour for thousand of kms, you can enjoy the twisties, and you can go for track days as well. The Gen2 tuned in a different way, less aggressive, no pop-bangs in dynamic, etc., but the Gen2 with a bren tuning it could get back all of the factory "detuned" features. XR is nearly perfect, but just nearly. It has some strange flaws, like terrible engine noise.
Hi Barry , You have already tasted blood by test riding the XR 😀.
As always great review. I currently have that exact bike...the 2022 Triple Black. At 59yo I was looking for something sporty but not too heavy as a tourer. I have owned many bikes, VFR(2), CBR(3), R1(2), R6, Superhawk, more MX bikes that i can remember and most recently a 2017 Ducati Supersport S. I bought the Ducati thinking it could do the touring part.....it cant comfortably. I tested many bikes last year, GS, RS, MultiStrada, Triumph Tiger and they are all good. When I tested the XR I thought I was sold on the Multi since it also has amazing, if not better( adaptive CC and blind spot) technology. Something made me go back about 3 months later and test the XR again. I asked the BMW dealer if I could have more than an hour test ride to properly figure out what this bike is about. After a nice 3 hour ride, I then realized that it is a wolf in sheeps clothing and thats exactly what I was looking for and to your point "A sportbike for old guys". It can play both roles effortlessly and it will make you smile the entire time because your not in any type of discomfort. I took it to Tennessee / North Carolina border ( Dragon, Cheroholla, BRP, etc)this past August. This was our 6th year in a row doing this trip and the XR provided the best experience that I have ever had on this trip. One of my buddies who has GS called it "a wheelie machine with side bags".
The only other bike that I can think you can really compare it to is the new MS Pikes Peak. If you can even get one....and be prepared to ad another $12k to the XR price. Cheers!
Thanks for saying what you test drove. Basically seems like we’re in the same boat bike choice wise. Trying to decide between this and the R. Haven’t really toured but ride a lot of interstate when I go to work and want to start touring. Wanted something with a windscreen and heated grips for when I ride in the winter in CO. Hope your still enjoying it.
@@mattstakeontheancients7594 The R is an awesome bike but it will have a different rider geometry....not as upright as the XR. Everything else is the same, including the motor. I rode mine stock for the first 2k miles, then i added the Brentune + Sprint AF. This made the fueling perfect under 6k RPM, which was the main reason i did the mod. It also added a little pop up top but I rarely get it up there. The bike now has slightly more grunt, not GS grunt, but better than stock.
Choice review mate. Makes me want one. Very nice bike! Looks like as nice as it gets. Thanks for the review. ✌️
Love your channel. I so love BMW bikes and have test rode a new RT but really like this bike. Currently ride a newer Wing but it's just underpowered and blah. But I just hear of so many issues with BMWs otherwise I'd own one tomorrow. Love em tho!
Excellent review of this motorcycle. Being born in Munich Bavaria. I have a tendency to be biased towards BMW Motorrad. I have a 1983 R100RS with 493,000 kilometres on the dial. And still going well.
Beautiful bike, thank you for the review 👍🙏…
I have a 21 XR M version. Triple Black looks amazing.
So much for unbiased reviews.
Had a 2015, did 45000 miles and 20 countries on it. An absolutely amazing bike, especially with the BMW warranty and service. Only negative service costs are approx double that of a GS.
Love your videos.
How tall are you? I'm considering one to replace my 2016 GSA
@@r12rtpilot 6'2" could stand astride it easily. In fact I added 2" of memory foam to the seat as the original is very thin.👍
Go for it! 🏍😉Marc,Quebec
Test rode a few years ago, awesome jet, just flying a bit too low for my driver’s licence 😉
Solid review bro. Definitely laughed hella hard at the Kevin Hart reference…alright, alright, alright!
👍🏼
The top case rack doesn’t ‘wiggle’ to distribute the weight, it is designed to try and stop high speed weave which effects a lot of bikes with top boxes.
That’s a pretty bike you got there, dude.
Wow gongratulations!! 😍
Amazing bike! I love mine!
That's an amazing sound wow
4 MONTHS MY FRIEND AND I'LL BE THE PROUD OWNER OF THE XR M. I M SUFFERING FROM INSOMNIA UNTIL I'LL SEE IT PARKED IN MY GARAGE 😂. TAKE CARE ENJOY LIFE AND ALWAYS ON ONE WHEEL. GOD BLESS GUYS. GREETINGS FROM GREECE 🇬🇷🙏😊🎄
I have one .
HP version with Akrapoivch and some options that comes with it.
I would recomenf it to the people who are looking for great touring bikes ,and great sport bikes.
As far as the turing is , the side cases are great , the full face helmet fits in it , and planty room for a 10 days trip, if you have side cases.
Top case is small , but bih enough to fit a full face helmet , and it is really stady .
You can ride very fast with all of the cases on .
Real fun starts anove 9000 rpm , and first time it was scary , since i expected to start slowing , but it just went faster.
If you are in the big city with a lot of trafic , with or without side cases you can go thru trafic easily.
It is comfortable. and if yu are not on a track or german autobahn , the consamption is around 6,5l/100km.
Since I am from Europe , I dont know how many miles per galon.
The gasoline tank is around 20 liters , and it is ok for 180 km on a normal road ( 115 miles), but on an autobahn , and when riding fast the consumption goes double.
I am ony mentioning it becaouse if you are riding GS , it has bigger tank.
On Hp chain lubrication is done automaticly , so no need to warry about it.
On normal version , you have to do it by yourself.
Normaly I drive in Dynamic mode since in Dynimic pro , the DTC ( dynamic traction control is almost totaly off) , and Dynamic is fast enpugh for me, and I feel safer.
On a longer trip I ride in the road mode , since it is softer , and you really feel the difference.
Yeah, my next bike for sure !
I saw one at my local dealer. They suggested a 900 Triumph Tiger, but I am in love with this bike. I don't want to get rid of my Triumph so I'll need to revise my investment plan. I do want to travel. This bike would be perfect. I have friends all over the USA.
Test drove a ‘22 before I bought my ‘22 GS. Definitely liked the acceleration better but liked the GS better overall
Great timing for this for me - I am looking to buy a 2022 BMW S 1000 XR - I have a 2021 Yamaha Tracer 900 GT which I luv - but seeing your video looks like this BMW is a better overall motorcycle plus its a BMW!
Best sport tourer out there, had s1000sx, fjr1300, mt09 tracer...bike for life for me...surprised you havent owned one G...one caveat take it out on a longer run in twisties being a taller fella that acute knee angle may be uncomfortable after a while.
