RIP asymmetrical headlights.
This bike came out when I was in highschool and I never liked the headlights. But I have grown to like it and now I miss it, now that I can appreciate such character on a bike's design.
Actually I also never liked the old headlights until the new one came out. Slowly I'm getting fond of the old design and stared hating the new one. The new one lacks the character of the old headlights.
Same here, but the new one is growing on me, like the old one did. I own the new one in red and I owned the old one in red and white (2013 model year) and still think that the old one looked better. But driving the new one......👌🏻💪🏻👊🏻
Well the older ones are cheaper so maybe you can actually get one easier :)
2019 model is beautiful, but it lacks that wickedness and aggressiveness in looks
True. Looks kind of like it could be a Japanese Bike as well...
It is very beautiful though. In my opinion it surpassed the panigale in that aspect
New one lacks the personality for which the old s1000 rr was famous for
True its very good looking but the sharpness is missing from the previous model
It looks cute.
Could you please do a video on quickshifters/auto-blippers? How they function and usability, love the content bro
The 2019 zx6r comes standard with a quick shifter. Are they needed in the street no are they alot of fun absolutely
william dolezal The ZX6 only has quick shifting for up shifts stock. The liter bikes have a quick shift option for up shifts and downshifts. Also it’s ECU based on the ZX6 not hardware.
@@kennethpowers8995 zx6 has only up quickshift cause it's cable throttle not fly by wire. What does ecu and hardware base mean explain please thanks.
There are plenty of videos on that already
same way as you do clutchless shifts just that now there is a computer that does it for you. it cut's throttle for upshift and then blips the throttle for downshifts just like you do manualy
I got to rent an HP4 for carving mountains on two separate occasions when we were in Taiwan in 2014. It was an unforgettable experience.
What rental company is that? Nice
I’m in Australia & I bought the very first iteration in the tri-colour, BMW colours. It was the FIRST in those colours in Melbourne & number 3 ordered here. I loved the bike but being honest the bike was better than me.😈🤪I traded “down” to a 2015 S1000R which I still own & it still is a brilliant performer even on the track. The S1000RR DID change sports bikes then & now. I loved the asymmetrical look & that’s what got me from the start. Great “history” video👍🏼 Cheers from Down Under 🇦🇺
Oi oi oi :)
Miss that asymmetrical lights on the new S1000
I'm a bit of a beemer fan boy but as much as I love the 2019/2020 version it just doesn't have the same character as to original 'crazy eye' version. Also they've screwed up calling the top spec M rather than HP. M is for car, not bikes.
M is for everything BMW. the M stands for bmw motorsports department and anything that they have designed is a M part. don't Mather if it's a 3hp scooter if they done it it's a M scooter. the M badge fits the bike 10x better than the HP badge does. HP stands for higher performance but it don't sell bikes and it don't fit in with the rest of BMW
Did you know that the reasoning behind the asymmetrical head lights was to reduce the bikes weight. The smaller headlight didn't have enough light output for Street use
Don't care. They looked way cooler and aggressive. The new S1000rr lacks character in it's looks, which it's predecessor had. An expensive motorcycle should also look the part.
@@shenanigans4177 totally Agree bro. When it was released it created its own DNA-ish styling imprint in the superbike world and then this just looks like the wife cheated and this is not his baby.
I got to admit I'm a fan of the new headlights, The original ones made the bike look like it had had a stroke, That said, they were definitely ORIGINAL and these days there's a lot to be said for that for that. Really enjoy your vid's HRR. keep it up.
Lol @ stroke
Yes the assymetrical headlights were spectacular, but 2019 update looks sick too. This one hell of a machine.
No one:
Bmw adding VTEC to their bike before Honda does:
The first VFR800 generation, the CB400 Super Four Hyper series, and I think some other Honda motorcycles had VTEC, before the S1000RR version.
I guess they didn't feel like it was worth the cost & effort. But I think it would have been great if Honda implimented VTEC into more of their bikes, just to stand out from their competitors, especially their Japanese ones whos quality & reliablity has caught up to Honda.
Suzuki offers affordable but great bikes, including a 750cc sport bike for fence riders, and Cyclops performance bikes with some generations having intergrated signals and great comfort.
Kawasaki has sharp angles, Lime green, and cheating engine sizes.
Yamaha has crossplane crank, and crossplane inspired MTs
What's special about Honda now, other then the Goldwing/ Valkyrie?
I think they should VTEC everything, for commuting/road-trip efficiency & elegance, but you still have great performance & fun, in the same bikes.
Then again, what do I know?
I'm in love with Electric motorcycles, and I'm becoming sick of the mess, maintenance, complexity, and unwanted attention engines bring.
The gsxr did that in its last update. It's got a physical pulley that's tied to the cam and changes past a certain rpm
How is it VTEC if it's from BMW? Also, Honda has had variable valve timing in their bikes before
I love all your bike reviews! Keep it up bud!
I found it funny back then when BMW anounced they will build a Supersportsbike and all the Italian and Japanese Big names said, yeah go on... your like 10 years behind when it comes to Sports-/Racebikes. And than BOOM the Bavarians hit like a freaggin thunder and beat them on their own game!
And how they lose?can u explain me?bcs of 20 hp more?Japan bikes cheaper for services,and more reliable bikes
Beat in their own game? The damn thing lacks horsepower in low to mid range RPM. Plus compared to it's Japanese counterparts, it has to be taken to the repair shop more often. You can get a Japanese Superbike for half the price and less maintenance.
Ooo, combined braking. Sounds like your VFR was ahead of the times!
Vfr is trash
Keep up the good work on these videos man! High quality videos 💯👍🏾
Awesome video! The 954 ones as well! 2 Of my favourite bikes, thank you.
Still love watching hero rr vids. More please.
Awesome video, BMW s1000rr is the reason I came into bikes, although it wasn't my first bike but second :) They raised the bar so high that pushed all other manufacturers to follow their footsteps.
Bro you are the most amazing. I make sure that i watch your videos as soon as you release them. Keep up this good work bruh 👌🏻🤘🏻
Great historic review. Very enjoyable to watch.
Just got my second one, a 2017 S1000RR. Great video!
HeroRR make more videos like this, I'd watch it plus tons of people are at home searching for content
Awesone content, really enjoyed that! Alot of the 2015's referred too were actually 2017 and 2018 models. Minor differences in exhaust etc.
Great video man keep it up and we'll keep watching
For all the performance the BMW has it hasn’t translated into a race winner on the track. Josh Herron has had his hands full this year on it compared to how he rode the R1 last year. I think the bike is just big and sits higher than the Japanese brands. Not saying it isn’t a great street bike it just hasn’t carried over to the track is all.
I think bmw doesnt gibe a shit about racing, all they care about is just streets. Even in car world they only care gt series thats all
The current isle of man tt lap records for the outright, senior and superstock classes are held by the s1000rr soooo...
@@111111guru TT Isle Of Man is held on public streets, soooooo....
I'll take the Honda or even the Yamaha over that money pit s1000rr
It dominated road races
Incredible content and delivery 👍
Humble review as usual keep the good work 👍
I'm a suzuki fanboy, but I'd be bluffing if I said I don't like the BMW S1000RR.
I have a hard time with those headlights, but still just an awesome bike! Great video💯🏍👍🏽
I understand that there are a lot of people who love the looks of the previous s1000, but personally, I like the design of the new s1000 more. Would love to own one someday
I loved it too in pictures, but once I saw it in person I have to say i'm not really a fan. Maybe I need to see it in a different color scheme.
The only bad thing about your channel is that you don't upload enough haha! Awesome content just wish there was more of it 😁
Incredible video, please do this for every the r1!
Great review mate
And now you own one. Congrats
we look forward to your point by point review of this contender!
Fantastic review, very interesting!
When I first saw the s100rr I liked it till I saw the headlights , but it’s got my respect seeing how well it’s done in motorsport , however I’m a zx10 fan boy , and they will always be my fave bike ,,, cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
Great video herorr 👍🏻
I believe they based it on the GSXR K5/6 they originally based their engine on the K5 and then tested it a GSXR frame and then obviously improved on that formula
Beautiful piece of machinery
I Just bought An S1000R a 2014 model, its pretty sweet. but the best part is the burbles on the overrun. i jist do that all the time :-)
Great tube! You exceed expectations!
The best automotive history video looking forward to your next video's
The 2015 is in my optinion the best looking bike ever build. The V4 is maybe the prettiest, but the BMW is unique and looks better and better thr longer you look at it.
Awesome video
Thank God for showing me that I will buy one for myself
Another A+ Video! Great Job!!
The 2019 version is just down right beautiful, where as the previous models looks mean and aggressive. Honestly cant decide which i like more
The best thing that ever happened on Earth is the modern symmetrical twin headlights on sport bikes. See 1998 Yamaha R1 or Ducati 916. NOTHING looks more beautiful than dual symmetrical headlights on a sportbike. Nothing. Aliens have 2 big eyes that look like a sportbike. It's the intended design of this Universe to have 2 big alien eye headlights. Predators have 2 eyes, not one blob of poop that barely lights the eyes of the deer in the forests when driving late at night. Any entity who puts a single headlight on a sportbike should be relocated to the Mars slave colonies (they have no idea what looks good and should be fired).
Another HeroRR exposed video! love it. great recount of the history.
Still my favorite motorcycle ever made. Don’t have the $$$ for one but I’ve ridden a 2017 up to 175ish and I gotta say it beats out the r1 and gsxrs I’ve ridden.
Awesome review as always. Why haven’t they won a WSB crown yet? Even after having a WSB championship winner on board? I’m a proud Aussie and he was the best, yet couldn’t get it to reach, on paper, what should’ve won, time and time again?
Amazing bike no matter what you got. Mines running 203.2hp at the rear, totally crazy. You cannot but love the bike.
good job on the vid, try to talk more about how this bike compared to the others during its evolution, otherwise there is little context to appreciate why something is important
The 2015 S1000RR iteration in black is the most beautiful superbike ever.
Excellent video, thank you.
One of a kind s1000rr
I really love the asymmetrical design. The new face looks like a Gundam, I love as well, old design is the S1000R I know.
Ahh German engineering..the nemesis of Japanese Engineering. Best rivalry ever.
German engineering is closer to American engineering. No where near as reliable as Japanese engineering. At least not anymore, maybe decades ago
Best video ever made on s1000rr ❤️😀👍
In the 2008-2012 era of bikes, IMHO the Yamaha YZF 2008 looks the most pleasing :)
I thought the new one is 2020?
Thank you for the video.
how's your leg man and how's the vfr hope you're well and stay safe.
They just kept making bike lighter and lighter with more power in every model. Loved the asymmetrical headlights.
Great video...!
Someone should make some mock assymetrical light stickers for the newer model, it looks too generic sportbike nowadays
Stay safe , I hope you could ride again
still considered the best street superbike out there :D
You got a couple of pictures mixed up and you missed the 2017 update
I noticed the same and also commented on it.
2018 S1000RR is the dream bike, final iteration of asymmetric eyes
Reason why i buy it glad i didnt go with the new version
it was and still is......THE ULTIMATE GAME-CHANGER!!!

The ducati 1198S had a traction control before the s1000rr
Hey hero, just looking for your and anyone else's thoughts about a burning oil issue on my 06 VFR. After riding on the highway when I come to a stop there is burning oil coming up from the front fork area. I suspect that oil is dripping onto the exhaust headers and causing the burning. Bike temp is fine and no errors anywhere else - just changed the oil 3 weeks ago.
HP4 is a dream machine for me.
The S1000rr is truly a great bike. Nobody can go wrong with it
cant wait to get it for my first bike :^)
I love riding and working on BMW motorcycles. Very few of them can be considered pretty looking. The S1000RR took not pretty to new heights (lows?). Badass bike, nonetheless.
I'm sure you love working on them, which you probably do often. As they're notorious for breaking.
Awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Sick....Totally sick!!!...🤙😎🤘
As a person who rides the 2010 and 2020 often, I still prefer the 2010’s rawness even though the horsepower and weight is subpar to the 20.
Hi.. you're not the 1st say that... im looking at the 2016-17 RR. Good to read these comments. A guy who also rode a m1000rr 2022 or 23 (i can't remember).. said a similar thing, if the reaction to his ride within his helmet ie sound effects were a barometer, then he was more excited and laughing on the earlier bike, a 2013ish.
The later bike seemed more serious and an exceptional instrument like- less emotional.
@@richbrett7268 yep, the new ones are great but too refined and professional. also it sits too upright, feels illegal to be that comfy.
I love this bike sooo much!!
Wondering when BMW will join motogp race!!
Rumours are that they based the whole foundation of this bike on the GSXR-1000. They apparently bought a couple brand new from Suzukis stripped them down and then built the S1000RR better
According to cycleworld's chart, the gen 1 s1krr did the 1/4 mile in 9.56sec.
You failed to mention the changes from 2016 to 2017. The 15 and 16 yrs. were pretty much the same except maybe color. When the 17 model came out it had to meet the euro 4 emissions crap. Some of the changes were the extra pipe on the exhaust going into the muffler. There was close to a 10lb gain in weight and also a significant horsepower drop due to the euro 4 crap. BMW did not change their specs even though. The 15 and 16 were the best yrs of the s1000rr in it's stock form so far.
Dispite not being a fan of the old headlights design, I have to give credit to BMW for trying that bold move. An if someone else does enjoy, I can't complain.
Dream bike
These bikes aren't about aesthetics but about pure performance. They are made for the racetrack primarily. That's why they are no looking so nice, or long/wide, heavy, comfortable, etc...as the bikes in same category before. They are becoming smaller, lighter, stronger, just for the pure goal of acceleration and speed. The person to buy this kind of bike, new, nowadays must be pure fanatic/racer or otherwise will sacrifice a lot compared to Sport Touring/Adventure/Naked bike... I don't like many of nowadays supersport bikes compared to those before. They don't have much point in everyday ride for me. But i sure like to see them. :)
I have huge respect for European bikes but if i were buying any motorcycle it'll be a JDM one. Cuz reliability matters.
I am the same, Japanese reliability is really amazing. I ride a 2008 Yamaha FZ6 and the only thing I need to do is oil changes and very basic maintenance. The service costs are ridiculously low. The bimmer is probably a lot more expensive to fix.
Amen..also dont care for this cca 20 less hp...my hornet 600 is 1999 y and over 100 000 km still running like new...
man, u can see from far this is a sponsored video....among all those 900...1000..1100 super bikes 95% of them are JDM, those bmw are good yes they are but cost twice as much, and if you really indo motoGP, you know that the dominance are 1 Honda 2-Yamaha, with suzuki in 4, BMW is not even between the 10 brands that has more winnins position. the knowledge honda has to build a best for the street, they know it will cost too much and no body is willing to pay...check that honda engine V5 that is a piece of art.
My last three bikes have been Triumphs. 80000 miles on the first ( one blown coil) 63500 miles on the second ( a broken clutch cable) 36000 miles on the latest on ( nothing yet)
@ good luck.
Takes the mick, that bmw wanted to set the 100 bhp limit a few years before that bike was released. Good job that was scraped.
HeroRR reads yet another brochure
I'm surprised you didn't talk about the lack of horsepower at low and mid range rpms on the new S1000. Great video though👍
But it has more torque available from just 5500 rpm whereas in the old one it is about 7000-8000 rpm.
Can you do a video on the vfr1200f?
OK side question wanting to see if this is true... Are parts from the RC51 interchangeable with the Honda1000rr? Thanks!
not all parts ;)
@@mateuszbarya9098 Thank-you! Grateful for your response. I'm mainly interested in putting the headlights and front faring from the rr to the rc51. (It was claimed to have been done). I shall dive deeper. Thanks again and Happy 4th!
My favourite is the second gen s1000rr
why did it take so long for bikes to get colour screens
Any chance to get a history of CBR 600F and Aprilia RSV4 ?
I did make a 600RR history video which does talk about the F series 600's as well. th-cam.com/video/a6UQliIBRy0/w-d-xo.html
@@HeroRR I've watched that video a milion times 😉 but you omitted the 2011-2013 600F, which I just got, could I get your opinion on that model?
Artanis02sk 2011-2013 honda 600s are objectively worse than 2007-2009. He tells you in the history video.
@@KagedDJ Good thing that subjective is what people go for :) I wouldn't have ABS, fuel gauge or the milage.
Best bike out there 15/16 RR
If I had the money an S1K would be my next bike without a doubt. Best in class litre bike
Check out some finance mate. These days you can get some extremely cheap repayments. The s1000r is an absolute beautiful motorbike. It does it all. A beast when opened up and an Angle when riding around town. Torque across all gears that leaves you stunned.
Yeah all of them in that class look kind of seem same with symmetrical lights you could always tell and S1000RR because of those nights that's why they should have kept them I don't think it ever really affected the sales that much
Man I was just unaware until last week that the older gen models of the BMW S1000rr only has the gills one one side of the body & not the other.. Which is dumb because they look really cool...But either way , it’s still my favorite bike.. I actually still like the older gen better then the current gen.... Especially the BMW HP4 Race.👌🏽🤤😩
If you really like the HP4, then you should definitely subscribe to the channel... maybe you'll see one soon ;) ;)
You have natural Microsoft voice
ngl the s1000rr is my dream bike
