My 5 year old son says it goes super-speed, like our washing machine. :-D I think he was referring to the sound. I don't think the BMW engineers would appreciate the washing machine comparison though. :-)
Great hearing what you thought of it RJ. Interesting that it has a wide turning circle, wouldn't have guessed that. Will keep that in mind when I have a go on one... :)
Thx for Share and Ride-along !!! This Bike has been 'past due' for arrival, here in Arizona US, Not sure why....maybe sales volume ?!?!? It is Sweetly Unique ;)
I always say that the L4 has a beautiful character, since i'm a big fan of the 4 cyl family of bikes. I gotta say, though, that the 3 cyl (triumph) sounds better and the V4 (aprillia) is even better. But that BMW sounds just gorgeous.
Sweet bike, smooth as oil, but it has to have a good rider as yourself to make it sweet. Great video, it seems to be a very rider friendly bike. Sure wish I could still ride, but my wheelchair does top speed of 11 mph lol. I very nice chair from permobil c500 a Swedish company that makes the best wheelchairs on earth but for $32,000.00 it should be a nice chair. Phil in melting snow Canada.
Just a heads up - the cruise control is an option and not standard. The sport model which RJ was riding comes with rain,normal and dynamic riding modes with the option of an dealer plug to get dynamic pro. Unlike the KTM the rider aids can be switched off while riding.
:O I want to sell my R1, break open my childhood piggy bank, sell all of my fishing gear, and possible sell my arse, just to have enough coin to get this bike!! AMAZING!!
I tested the S1000r yesterday, just gotta they that is just a fantastic bike, but I've gotta try that Superduke to have a fair opinion. Thumbs up as always :).
I wonder how this new BMW compares to my BMW K1300R? They sound similar. Looks like the S1000R might have the edge on the pick up and a lot more nimble.
What day! There I was riding my Derbi Cross City 125 (Yes it's a motorbike... It has two wheels and does 67mph! LOL) when I managed to stop next to you at a set of traffic lights... Just sat there in admiration... What a beauty that Nuda is! Mine is coming... : )
RoyalJordanian Just past Marble Arch, we both turned into Bayswater Road, at around 13:45 today. Then stopped next you as you turned right further down...Was coming from BMW Park lane after having had a good look at the new 1200RT... I'll say "Hi" once I'm sitting on my Nuda... : )
RoyalJordanian For your info: having a bit of trouble fitting the original alarm onto the Nuda as the system the bike needs to be plugged in to programme the alarm has been switched off at the dealer I bought the bike. To my surprised the system is also switched off at all BMW dealers. Also, BMW will do the service work but no warranty work on the Nuda (what a surprise!). Luckily for us, Freestyle bikes in East Sussex still have the whole system operational and to top it off, carry out warranty work too! The Nuda will live...
Hi RJ Loving the video regarding the KTM or BMW choice, I have ordered the SDR 1290 it should be here in a week or so. Having watched all your vids here hopeing you go KTM. Rgds Steve
RJ, which one of those 3 bikes(nuda, 1290 super duke, S1000R) is the best for filtering? Poor wind protection is something you can solve even with BMW Parts windscreen, it looks quite big.
The windshield for the BMW looks a little bit like the Alien Queen, i like it :-) I'm also interested in the difference between the BMW and the KTM. There aren't any Super Dukes left for test riding where I live :-(
The Nuda by far. I actually like no Wind protection. Hate screens that direct wind to the top of the helmet or any other part. Better to let the helmet aerodynamics take care of it.
I like riding naked bikes. I just hate stop riding them :-) Seriously, when riding with a windshield it is really nice that afterwards you can just take off your helmet and you and your jacket are more or less clean.
Really nice bike for sure and talk about silk shifting........but I must say it just didn't have that RoyalJordanian feel. Smooth? Yes but not the BOSS style of RJ in my opinion. Good test ride though sir. Ride safe
Great bike ! You succeeded not testing it up to max rpm's or his high speed, it should be hard with such a bike :D By the way RJ, i think you should try to move your camera fixation on the center of your helmet (just on the mouth position). The take is perfectly centered, you don't see the helmet and shows exactly what you are looking for ;)
Didn't the Brits used to drive on the left and overtake on the right? Here they seem to drive on the right or in the middle with the left lane completely empty.
Hello! Hope you're ok. Would like to have your opinion about the BMW S1000R. I have bought an Yamaha MT-07 for an year now and i'm thinking to change it for a new bike, really the choice is between the S1000R or S1000XR. The question is, would you consider a big step moving from an MT07 with 75bhp to the S1000R? The use is for daily commuting and short rides on the weekends, no track days, no crazy ridding with the bike. Hope to get your opinion. Thank you.
This is just my opinion, and it's really subjective as I just hate most of L4 engines sound, but if the BMW is your choice, your vids will not be as entertaining as they are at the moment with the Nuda. I'm not a big fan of the aesthetic of the Nuda, but yours has one hell of a sound, which I totally relate to you and your vids. With this inline 4, it would be like we lost a part of RJ's soul !
Dammm that is a lot of powerrrrrrrrrrr And she sounds very nice, i think you going to have a very though decision to make RJ :) But from what a seen you liked this one very much :) Nicely done Thumbs up
Sam, I changed my opinion. THe KTM is just an amazing machine, but for RJ and London, I think the Beamer is the one. Well, that is what I would go for with no hesitation. Amazing bike!!
Blahdeblah52 from what i watched my guess is the same :) But he does like to make some mods and the KTM is very nice for some good mods ;) so its going to be a though one
My 5 year old son says it goes super-speed, like our washing machine. :-D I think he was referring to the sound. I don't think the BMW engineers would appreciate the washing machine comparison though. :-)
He's got a good perception of speed ;)
Great hearing what you thought of it RJ. Interesting that it has a wide turning circle, wouldn't have guessed that. Will keep that in mind when I have a go on one... :)
150hp for filtering is exactly what you need
First bike sound I've ever liked... (Im a car guy but enjoy your videos)
few cheeky wheelies there!. Liking the cruise control.
Excited now as might get a go on one tomorrow. Needs a fly screen though as looked exposed on the motorway.
Thx for Share and Ride-along !!!
This Bike has been 'past due' for arrival, here in Arizona US,
Not sure why....maybe sales volume ?!?!?
It is Sweetly Unique ;)
Love the Bike, The electronics dont take away from it either, imo it gives it more.
This seems like a bike you can have a crush on.
Great bike!!
Quality video RJ matey, it does look like a weapon :)
I always say that the L4 has a beautiful character, since i'm a big fan of the 4 cyl family of bikes. I gotta say, though, that the 3 cyl (triumph) sounds better and the V4 (aprillia) is even better. But that BMW sounds just gorgeous.
vc sabe informa se essa moto vem para o brasil??
abraço!
Mário Eduardo Sellani the bmw? is like 90% a yes
Mário Eduardo Sellani Deve vir sim!
Nice work RJ. Look forward to the outcome. Can you adjust steering angle?
I love this song ...
Nice RJ would love to see more like this in the future :-)
Sweet bike, smooth as oil, but it has to have a good rider as yourself to make it sweet.
Great video, it seems to be a very rider friendly bike.
Sure wish I could still ride, but my wheelchair does top speed of 11 mph lol.
I very nice chair from permobil c500 a Swedish company that makes the best wheelchairs on earth but for $32,000.00 it should be a nice chair.

Looks like a BLAST! I'm hoping my local euro bike shop gets one in soon. I want to to take a ride.
Spectacular
Just a heads up - the cruise control is an option and not standard.
The sport model which RJ was riding comes with rain,normal and dynamic riding modes with the option of an dealer plug to get dynamic pro. Unlike the KTM the rider aids can be switched off while riding.
Great riding mate
awesomly fast shifting!..
The cruise control feature... DO WANT
:O I want to sell my R1, break open my childhood piggy bank, sell all of my fishing gear, and possible sell my arse, just to have enough coin to get this bike!! AMAZING!!
Or you could follow the advise I gave to +leadpin when he wanted to get his exhaust :)
I want a rockin hot bod like *****!! Was wondering how he got those washboard abs!! \(^_^)/ Thanks for the Ride Rj :)
***** They're under there somewhere you hunky man you! ;)
Only thing I’m selling my R1 for is a new R1 when it comes out. Cross plane growl is irreplaceable ;)
RJ What advice would you give Tiger 800 XCA or 1200 GS for commuting and touring
nice ride dude
I tested the S1000r yesterday, just gotta they that is just a fantastic bike, but I've gotta try that Superduke to have a fair opinion. Thumbs up as always :).
Character or not RR is a perfect bike IMHO, and I have no doubt this one is just as good.
Tuono? i know it looks weird, but rides amazing!!
have you considered Yamaha MT-09 3-cylinder? awesome bike and has best from both worlds (2cyl and 4cyl)
i love this bike!
Hey,
The full akra exhaust you have does it sound the same as the exhaust on the bmw s1000rr??
Thnks!!
I wonder how this new BMW compares to my BMW K1300R? They sound similar. Looks like the S1000R might have the edge on the pick up and a lot more nimble.
Mwuahaha First! :D
That bike looks awesome O.o damnnn Nice vid as always ;)
Haha I like the cruise control
Looks perfect for your riding style. Just needs a loud exhaust Akra or Austin Racing.
Excellent vid as always. Is it just me or is the frame rate a little off. Which camera were you using here RoyalJordanian ?
Everything is the same, GoPro Black 3+
Is short-stroke suspension compared with Nuda / Super Duke? What do You think about?
Still like the rumble of a twin or a thumper . The BMW is nice though.
Nice bike.
piekne moto!
Love the cruise control... So what do you prefer the BMW or the KTM?
Ktm 1290 eats this for breakfast in every category.
Both awesome bikes though! :D
nice bike man
Saya suka dengan motor ini RJ , bagus sekali untuk anda :)
Really nice..
lucky you RJ... handlebars ok? seemed a bit low
Very wicked thankyou. Would you buy one?
So which bike do you like more, the S1000R or the 1290 Super Duke R?
does the zero wind protection annoy you at higher speeds?
I'd like to see a Tuono v4r test ride, maybe a speed triple or mt-09 too.
Go with this one!!
Are you going to try the z1000 as well ??
*clicks like before even hearing the "woah"*
Have you decided RJ ? Bmw 1000R or KTM Superduke 1290 R?
I am jealous!
the ktm is gonna have so much brutal power
What day! There I was riding my Derbi Cross City 125 (Yes it's a motorbike... It has two wheels and does 67mph! LOL) when I managed to stop next to you at a set of traffic lights... Just sat there in admiration... What a beauty that Nuda is! Mine is coming... : )
Where, what, when :)

Renato Lopes Cool that you are getting a Nuda, enjoy. Heard good things about Freestyle on the forum.
did u bought it ? or just a test ride ?
Sounds like a GSX-R. Nice.
Hey I was wanting to ask is the ghost rider your family member?
The best bike !!
Very nice :)
How much it revs at 60mph (top gear).
Nice Man !!
Hi RJ
Loving the video regarding the KTM or BMW choice, I have ordered the SDR 1290 it should be here in a week or so.
Having watched all your vids here hopeing you go KTM.
Rgds
Steve
Congrats :) you'll love it.
has he took the front fairings off?
Thank you, but next time, a trip with some turn on the hills with windy roads. That could be a true test ride.
RJ, which one of those 3 bikes(nuda, 1290 super duke, S1000R) is the best for filtering?
Poor wind protection is something you can solve even with BMW Parts windscreen, it looks quite big.

Seriously, when riding with a windshield it is really nice that afterwards you can just take off your helmet and you and your jacket are more or less clean.
Nor Treblig
Especially if the windshielbi is as big as the BMW's.
You would definitely need a louder pipe, That wide turning circle maybe a concern during filtering. ( I'm no expert just an observation)
Oooooh sounds nice :-)
has cruise speed?
Really nice bike for sure and talk about silk shifting........but I must say it just didn't have that RoyalJordanian feel. Smooth? Yes but not the BOSS style of RJ in my opinion. Good test ride though sir. Ride safe
any full throttle clips ?
I get the impression you like it a lot?!?
Do the cruse control deactivate with a touch of (either) the brakes?
Throttle or brake will deactivate it
and clutch
Wonderful bike. Where was this ride?
Afonso Amorim what about London
Great bike ! You succeeded not testing it up to max rpm's or his high speed, it should be hard with such a bike :D
By the way RJ, i think you should try to move your camera fixation on the center of your helmet (just on the mouth position). The take is perfectly centered, you don't see the helmet and shows exactly what you are looking for ;)

Hello!
Hope you're ok.
Would like to have your opinion about the BMW S1000R.
I have bought an Yamaha MT-07 for an year now and i'm thinking to change it for a new bike, really the choice is between the S1000R or S1000XR.
The question is, would you consider a big step moving from an MT07 with 75bhp to the S1000R?
The use is for daily commuting and short rides on the weekends, no track days, no crazy ridding with the bike.
Hope to get your opinion.
Thank you.
Lisbon Rider PT What did you end up getting? I am thinking between the XR and S1000R.
Thank you
Hello. will get an S1000R next year!
Vince D from 125cc to RR?? I agree responsability comes first but....that's a big jump and a different new level....hope he enjoy it
Lisbon Rider PT Same here. Next season as well.
I'm trading in my CBR 1000 RR for The BMW.
But will it blend?
Are you getting a new bike RJ?
So smooth :) but it needs a louder exhaust... too silent for sleepy car drivers to notice it.
GET THE SUPERDUKE RJ!
Awesome machine mate. But I'd have the HP4. RSFM.
Original exhaust ?? :)
This is just my opinion, and it's really subjective as I just hate most of L4 engines sound, but if the BMW is your choice, your vids will not be as entertaining as they are at the moment with the Nuda. I'm not a big fan of the aesthetic of the Nuda, but yours has one hell of a sound, which I totally relate to you and your vids. With this inline 4, it would be like we lost a part of RJ's soul !
is this your own bike?
Now for the tough question. Which one will he buy? Personally, I hope you choose the Duke, sounds more ROYAL:)
Yes, or the Streetfighter S would be my pick.
probably a dumb question but can you do clutchless downshifts with the quick shifter?
Only upshift
That's what I thought thanks for the response
Nice sounding bike, cruise control, eh?
Is that your bike??
Why not a Tuono V4R? :)
Bmw is amazing and powerfull machine, but ktm have something else...both choices are great!!!
I liked the Super Duke but this was in a different class, IMHO.
Why did you buy this instead of the Super Duke 1290? Because it's better suited for commuting?
Because I have the Nuda.
RoyalJordanian
So would you buy the Super Duke 1290 over the s1000r if you didn't have the Nuda?
+DoubleYouPee Now he has the 3 ^^
I would miss the sound of a V2, but thats just my opinion
i think youre better off on a v2, it really just suits your style imo
Dammm that is a lot of powerrrrrrrrrrr
And she sounds very nice, i think you going to have a very though decision to make RJ :)
But from what a seen you liked this one very much :)
Nicely done
Thumbs up
Sam, I changed my opinion. THe KTM is just an amazing machine, but for RJ and London, I think the Beamer is the one. Well, that is what I would go for with no hesitation.
Amazing bike!!
Blahdeblah52 indeed it seems to suit RJ perfect :)
Its a lovely Bike as well
*****
So, what do you think he will go for??
I say the Beamer ;-)
Blahdeblah52 from what i watched my guess is the same :)
But he does like to make some mods and the KTM is very nice for some good mods ;) so its going to be a though one
BMW or KTM? Which one to get. Decisions, decisions... Now that's the kind of problem I'd like to have.
Buy it!
Nice (y)
Waiting to see how good the KTM SuperDuke is compared to BMW S1000R in terms of filtering :D
Look mom, without hands!
