I just picked up a 2015 S1000RR yesterday, what an incredible machine. Cruise control on a sports bike is totally worth it. The suspension is incredible. The stock exhaust is amazing.
Saw last night on Ebay 2014 RSV4 APRC models now going to just under 11K... Some real bargains to be had with last years models at the moment which must be worth considering.. Come on 11K for an RSV4 is a dam fine deal!
I think I speak on behalf of the majority of your viewers but..... You have been missed!!! Good to see you back again. Going to my local BMW dealership on the 7th to take a ganders, definitely tempted!
if you think about it most animals rape each other which is fucked up! hopefully the ducks have a system for consent , like 1 quack for yes or two quacks for no.
it's great to see someone testing a bike in real world conditions I've been riding bikes for nearly 40 years and never been near a track nor do i have any interest in doing so... however what i do like about sport bikes is the protection from the wind at speed....great stuff.
Baron , you should remove the beep at the start of your review ! Your humour was hilarious even when the review stopped during the traffic .Excellent review by the way !
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say how proud I was to hear the belch @ 2:28 in this video. I then convinced myself it's because you silently love me. I then saw it as a shout out. I am deluded. Also, very interesting dude - I am looking at this bike very closely. Too closely. Wallet-rapingly-close.
Hey Baron! Do you plan on doing anymore trips like the one you did to Spain? It was great to watch. :) I hope we will be able to see your review on ZX10-R or H2 one day. that would be awesome. :)
The Ice Man machine becomes a bit more passionate... Just hearing the new model's engine go up and down the rev range compared to your other vids (HP4, Gixxer etc etc) it's noticeably sounds smoother. Extra gravy on this S1000RR!
Great video after long time.. keep em coming. Since you had 899 & outgoing S1000RR, i'll look forward to your review on 1299 and a comparison to this new S1000RR.
The bike sounds great and I'm sure rides even better, but I just can't get into the new design. The original looked so good, especially the asymmetrical headlights. Now it's just kind of...off. Great review and video as always!
Just got my full bike license, cant wait until the day I can own a bike like this (once I got enough experience on bigger bikes) Love the vids keep up the good work ! By the way you sound like Robert Webb.
Some people say that after doing a few track days, your skills on the public road increase. Do you feel that doing track days has improved your road riding?
Hmmm - its a complex discussion. Put it this way, all experiences that improve your bike control make you a better rider. However, track riding is so totally different from road riding that it could lead to over eagerness on greasy, unpredictable roads. Equally, if you get your fix on a track, you could calm down on the roads. So it depends on your own mentality. A track is pristine and predictable - the road is anything but.
I felt the same after a defective fuel pump recall/repair. I'm not sure how much of all that you can really feel in stop and go traffic though, except for the mid-range part. One thing is for sure, if I get another supersport, it will be another BMW.
awesome bike! I saw one in Miami an you're right about the nose an colored plastic. I really enjoy watching your videos they're informative and hilarious! awesome video!
When you talk about the cheap looking plastic I totally agree. Although I was looking at a cheaper model 800 r (still a £9000 bike), it just looked plastic. You could flex the plastic on the sides and where the tank would be normally with your finger. Totally uninspiring for something on the expensive side.
Hey there, I just met you cuz of #doitwithdan. He said you were pretty awesome. So in the first 5-10 minutes, I subscribed to you. I enjoy your vids man. Your pretty awesome has he said. ;)
nice to see that you have got rid of the cod eyes lenses (44 teeth review)..... i have a 2 year old, he is like a damn dictaphone... he's started referring to a certain member of my family as 'scumbag', i haven't discouraged that. Nice review.
Barron I gotta a question for you. If you had the chance to buy one of two S1000rr. One being a 2014 and the other being a 2015 both at 0 miles or kilometers and the 2014 being $2000 less in price which would you choose?
+ThatDudeJCrash I am 5'5" and I just bought a 2016 s100rr and it is a big stretch for me. I am going to lower my bike as soon as I get the chance. it is a pretty tall bike.
That bike is so sexy, I definitely want to upgrade from my Kawasaki zx6r to one:) I'll be waiting to see what the '19s come out to see if there is an upgraded TFT screen.
That truck in the beginning is the same truck in one of your earlier videos, probably while on the gsxr if I remember correctly. That made me deja-vu for a moment. Haha
I still find it weird seeing you ride sections of my daily commute to work (except I'm going the other way through Roehampton to Wimbledon on a Versys)!
Remember the 80s when BMW's best effort at a sporty bike was the K1 and nobody would even dream of buying one if you were a sports bike nutter? They've come a long way.

"That's where that duck bitch got nailed." I fucking lost it!
You're correct Sir Grumble. My DDC suspension failed on my HP4 after 8k miles and cost $2200USD to replace under warranty.
2200USD to replace under warranty. How do they justify that?
x-sbk Its a BMW.... Justified.... :P
Yes 650ib, don't forget to mention that it was under warranty
Nice to know my theory about BMW reliability is right. lol
x-sbk
It's either covered by warranty or it isn't, you don't cash out $2200USD... under warranty.

We have been missing you! Please post more often!
Just bought the 2015, same color too. Great vid, subbed!
Best bike reviewer on TH-cam , period. I laughed so hard, and this is not the first time I watched this particular piece.
Love the review BVG!
No one else can make bike reviews so interesting
I love when you talk about your childhood stories. Hope all is well, nice to see again. Ride safe..
Your lane filtering abilities is legendary!
The gang-bang story left me concerned about the poor duck's emotional well being ;)
I read this comment before hearing the story. I'm scared.
if you think about it most animals rape each other which is fucked up! hopefully the ducks have a system for consent , like 1 quack for yes or two quacks for no.
@ Lambchopride Mate I can honestly say I have never chuckled so fucking hard over a You Tube comment. I commend you good sir!
Mohi Ahmed haha thanks Mohi :)
***** th-cam.com/video/NLLrRmB5qgw/w-d-xo.html ;)
"i've go to stop fucking swearing" ....."oh come on fuck face" haha you crack me up brother
it's great to see someone testing a bike in real world conditions I've been riding bikes for nearly 40 years and never been near a track nor do i have any interest in doing so... however what i do like about sport bikes is the protection from the wind at speed....great stuff.
Baron , you should remove the beep at the start of your review ! Your humour was hilarious even when the review stopped during the traffic .Excellent review by the way !
You do make me laugh Baron. lol You also have helped me to understand motorbikes a hell of a lot more than anyone else ever has. Thank you
Nice video Baron, loved the chat on 44 teeth too, love both channels!
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say how proud I was to hear the belch @ 2:28 in this video. I then convinced myself it's because you silently love me. I then saw it as a shout out.
I am deluded.
Also, very interesting dude - I am looking at this bike very closely. Too closely. Wallet-rapingly-close.
i was actually in Bahnstormer sat with Alistair when you called up the other week.....!
***** No kidding! He seems like a super cool guy, and as usual I said too much. Foot in mouth syndrome man, seriously.
See you at the launch!
I haven't seen too many of your vids mate but you split like a boss. nice one geezer
I gotta say, your lane filtering game is on point
Please review the new Aprilia Tuono when it comes out :) always wanted to hear your opinion on a V4
Hey Baron! Do you plan on doing anymore trips like the one you did to Spain? It was great to watch. :) I hope we will be able to see your review on ZX10-R or H2 one day. that would be awesome. :)

love your videos...watching them allows me to work on my anxiety with you moving through that traffic
Great video after long time.. keep em coming. Since you had 899 & outgoing S1000RR, i'll look forward to your review on 1299 and a comparison to this new S1000RR.
Can't wait to see you comparing the S1000RR to the new R1 2015.
"Thats where that duck bitch got nailed!" LMFAO!! That killed me.
So much power and so little room to have fun with it... lovely bike!
***** You should add how tall you are in your channel description so people can relate to it when you talk about comfort etc :) Loved the review!
Back on form dude. Back on form.
Time to get up, goto work, have coffee, and start my day off with this vid :)
Wait! you forgot to have your morning poo!
***** Best to do all these things simultaneously.
I just got the 2012 model i think its the prettiest of them all
Great review, sounds amazing also. Stock can brilliant!! Well done BMW, wonder how loud it is for track days though..
Great review - everyone should review/test ride a bike on their regular commute - makes so much sense!!
You're lucky to have this bike before its released to the public, peace!
Hay Baron :
we in Canada enjoy your vlogs very much indeed .
Keep 'em coming !
MS
Thanks mate. For some reason I can listen to you talk shit all day. Love it.
Had me laughing through out the whole video! Great review. Stay safe brother!
The bike sounds great and I'm sure rides even better, but I just can't get into the new design. The original looked so good, especially the asymmetrical headlights. Now it's just kind of...off. Great review and video as always!
Just got my full bike license, cant wait until the day I can own a bike like this (once I got enough experience on bigger bikes)
Love the vids keep up the good work !
By the way you sound like Robert Webb.
Back to the Baron of old. Love it and keep it up.
Great vid, wished it didnt end.
Cant wait for you to ride the new R1.
Baron you have to watch this back with the Closed Captioning on its bloody hillariouse!
hey dude been waiting to see another vid soon as u come on made me smile please want more great review buddy :P
Awesome review man you convinced my fiancé to let me skip the 600 and get the s1000rr!! Can't wait to get mine in august
I like your reviews coz you ride in the city ..unlike others who review it on race tracks.. not everyone can ride them on tracks everyday.
6:06 - That's what makes a ride entertaining for me tough.. being in control of what the bike does at any time
Baron Your back! Thank Baron Von Grumble for that
Nice video dude, throughout the video I see the streets are pretty clean compared to the streets in the Bronx, New York
Favorite story ever at 8:32

*****
it absolutly does !
if your a beast on track don't necessarily make you good on road, but if your good on road your usually a monster on track
Hahahha Bullshit^
Sham Letly Other way round?
Good to see some old school Barron mixed with a great review.
Man I dont know how you stand riding in traffic like that. I thought rush hour cleveland was bad, but now I feel blessed lol.
Two of Germany's finest speed machines at 15:06. The bike and the 911
Even if I dident care anything about the bike, your review is extremely entertaining thanks for keeping me laughing.
I felt the same after a defective fuel pump recall/repair. I'm not sure how much of all that you can really feel in stop and go traffic though, except for the mid-range part. One thing is for sure, if I get another supersport, it will be another BMW.
best review I have heard in ages - but less swearing.....
Gorgeous, fantastic, sexy machine reviewed by the one, the only, the best bloke on you tube BVG! Keep up the brilliant work man! Love you! :D
Great stuff Baron, I actually like that nose scoop.
Great Review, indeed a Jizz machine. Is there any update on when we will get the 24 hour country challenge?
You really need to try out the Aprilia Tuono 1100 rr and factory tbh :-), both proper Jizz Machines!
I love your videos Baron. So entertaining.
"I've gotta stop fucking swearing."
That gave me a chuckle.
Sold 1199s. Loved it but miss it dearly. Maybe the 1299 will do.
awesome bike! I saw one in Miami an you're right about the nose an colored plastic. I really enjoy watching your videos they're informative and hilarious! awesome video!
In fact, all those roads. Was my commute to work in Curzon St.
your jacket matches the bike? match made in heaven lol - that bike sounds so good I had some sensation in my private regions
Dude I would not be able to live out there that traffic OMG. And the way you squeeze in-between those lanes I thought you were gonna scratch that bike
Crazy Cruella laugh is the litmus for a jizz machine! One hundy percent accurate...always.
+1 on the prettier part - it looks incredible except for the monocle face. Wouldn't stop me buying one though!
Great commentary, BVG!
Love your work mate keep it coming cheers
I cannot adjust to you guys driving on the other side of the road. crazy
Why?
It's weird for about 5 minutes when you come out of the tunnel in to Calais. Sweden switched overnight in 1967!
Funniest moto reviewer on YT hahaha. Subbed :)
Splendid as always! Thank you sir!
Makes me want my first sports bike now! :-)
Looks and sounds bloody marvellous
Look forward to your R1 review if you get the chance to play on one
Your commentary about the ducks made me laugh! People in my office are staring! Great video by the way....
Saving up for one. can't wait.
Christ, that digi panel on the tacho is huge!
Great video! Thanks for the review!
Now, any word on the Ducati Panigale 1299?
Cheers!
coming! 44teeth.com/ducati-1299-panigale-review/

dustycanbecrazy New one. no question.
Thank you very much.
A 5'5" would this be an okay bike for my height??
+ThatDudeJCrash I am 5'5" and I just bought a 2016 s100rr and it is a big stretch for me. I am going to lower my bike as soon as I get the chance. it is a pretty tall bike.
+bmw s1000rr I would think so but you should probably setup a test ride to he sure.
That bike is so sexy, I definitely want to upgrade from my Kawasaki zx6r to one:) I'll be waiting to see what the '19s come out to see if there is an upgraded TFT screen.
True to your word, you answered my silly questions. Thank you!
Can't wait to see the new 2015 r1!!!!
That truck in the beginning is the same truck in one of your earlier videos, probably while on the gsxr if I remember correctly. That made me deja-vu for a moment. Haha

Brilliant mate love your work.
The lady at the start slipped on her own moisture... The Baron and his BMW have that effect.
Well, that's a very fast bus you have there!
Just mine yesterday love it so far
What is your owners experience so far? Thank you
Using the quickshifter in a low RPM can set some problems. For downshift also. You need to use it for the track, and for high rev's.
Riding over Hammersmith bridge and round the roundabout has to be the most depressing experience ever.......bike looks amazing 😵
Love that sound from the exhaust!!! Have you taken of the db killer yet? I understood it has a baffle which you can take out.
Love the s1000rr and I so want to get one one day !!!!!
"That's where that duck bitch got nailed" - why I love Baron
