Did you guys also know.... 1. The fuel indicator isn't a traditional gauge. The bike tells you how many miles you have remaining based on your fuel economy, similar to modern cars. 2. When you put fuel in the bike, the hole on top of the tank is perfectly sized for the gas nozzle. It doesn't wiggle and will never slip out. 3. With cruise control turned on, you can hold the switch up or down and the bike will accelerate or decelerate until you let go of the switch. You don't have to click up a million times to increase speed or touch the throttle. 4. While the bike does have linked braking, if you use the rear brake by itself in slick mode, then ABS won't turn on and will allow power slides. If you use the front/linked brakes, then ABS will continue to operate. 5. The bike has a CAN bus system. This is basically a system that runs the electronics on different circuits. It can detect when your light bulb is out and anything else related to electronics, and you'll get a warning.
No doubt...I think I remember counting 10 warning stickers on my Suzuki. Every last one was a pain to get off. I won't even mention the Aprilia. That was on matte paint too.
Great video! Did you know the S1000RR is the only/few sport bikes that you can change the air filter without doing a tank lift? It is right under the ecu, which is under the plastic cover at the front of the tank.
never seen one without the dynamic package before, do you not have the autoblip down shift? do ever get any delay/hesitation quick shifting 1st to 2nd?
You can get the bike without the DDC. It's not as common from what I've seen. The forks are black on the one I saw at the dealer without it. I do have (gear shift assist pro) so it's auto up shift and on the down shift. In 1st and 2nd I haven't noticed the delay. I tend not to use it as much in town 1st to 2nd though.
Nice! I love my S1K! It gets a lot of hate but is mostly from ppl who've never ridden or owned one and also from ppl who can't even afford one? So how would they even know? Exactly! Lol
I hear that the BMW 1000rr gets really hot while riding. That you feel the heat through the chassis and it will sting you inner legs and you feel lots of heat on your boots. Is this true?
You're going to feel heat from the engine. You'll feel it more as the ambient temperature rises. So it will heat up your inner legs on very hot days. Moving my legs away from the frame and letting the air flow does the trick if I feel warm. I don't feel sting or pain with a pair of riding pants or leathers on though. Haven't felt heat through my SIDI boots that I can recall. Not a deal breaker in my opinion unless shorts and flop flops are the riding attire : )
+Moreflying1 in 2007/8 BMW developed a test mule for their WSBK bike using Suoerstock zx10 motors et al. The WSBK bikes evolved into production machines based on the ZX10. There are many books detailing the S1000 development. Motorcyclist has a few articles referencing this. They were smart as Kawa continues to dominate WSBK. And no...I ride a Ducati and Honda.
IS THE BMW A FINICKY BIKE? I HAVE HONDA'S MY WHOLE LIFE THEY R SO DAMN GREAT! BUT I RODE THE APRILLIA LAST WEEK & THOUGHT WOW THIS BIKE WAS JUST A STEP ABOVE THE CBR REP 1000 SO WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE BM'R? THIS IS THE TOUGH PART I WANT SOMEONE WHO HAS HAD THEM BECAUSE THE RIDING I DO, BIG SUR CAMBRIA, OJAI, YOSEMITE BACK COUNTRY & SO CAL CANYONS I NEED A RELIABLE BIKE, MOST IMPORTANT TO ME! IN THE BACK COUNTRY & MOUNTAINS NEVER HAD ANY PROB WITH HONDA ..EVER! DO U KNOW ANYTHIG ABOUT APRILLIA? THANKS FOR THE REPLY BY THE WAY ..& KEEP THE RUBBER SIDE DOWN
In the time I've had the BMW, the only finicky thing I can think of is with the quick shift. The throttle on down shift needs to be full closed or it gets a bit rough. Also, keeping the throttle position steady produces the smoothest up shift. I don't like the way you have to remove the seat either. Longer runs...BMW is a better choice. It has more road amenities and for a sport bike very comfortable seating. You'll have a much stronger dealership network as well. I do believe you get a better warranty with BMW also. Aprilia requires finding a mechanic that is VERY knowledgeable about the V4. The valve trains need special attention especially if you track it. Go on the AF1 forums and read up. Aprilia still makes their tanks out of plastic that ends up blistering and warping too. Anyways...just a few things.
ALL THINGS I CARE ABOUT thanks! had a custom seat done had my throttle adjustments, bought a larger tail bag, Honda made a great bike but those were things that had to be done. Yes for sure I've been doing a lot of reading had my Honda 12 years 77k on canyon miles, mountains, This will be my last sport bike so I want it to be that close friend I had with my Honda CBR, thanks again! I'm still in the weeds & stand off on all the mass gizmo stuff but hell I still shoot 35 mil film! Later
awesome video! just got my 17 s1000rr and the first thing i did was take off those ugly "RR" stickers. You buy a 20k bike and they slap some cheap stickers on the side. ridiculous
I really threw me off when I felt the rear break being applied without my own foot pressure. Weird feeling for sure. Don't know why they don't say anything about the tank. Usually it's the up-spec bikes that get the aluminum, in other brands.
nice review, thanks. Enough light in the garage to be able to see the bike's parts, stationary without wind noise and a calm clear voice. I do not understand the purpose of a review at 50,60,70 or 80 miles an hour when the wind is blowing hard and you can't get what the man said. Another annoying things are why the fuck they clear their throat every other second or laughing like a crazy mad men or opening and closing the helmet's windshield glass constantly?
Did you know that the S1000RR HAS INDEED Stickers all over the place? The "RR" on the lower sides of the tank and on both sides of the tail are stickers. I own an S1000RR in Motorsport livery.
Yaniv...I look in my service manuals and user manual couldn't come up with anything. I don't really have a lot to go on based on the description, so I don't want to guess about what it might be. I'd swing by the dealer and ask the service dept. Let me know as I'm curious. Thanks!
Thank you for your reply. I parked the motorcycle for a day and the message is gone. I called the dealership but they will charge money to recall the message. I will wait and see if it will show up again. I will take a picture of it.
did you know, a little bit of plastic wont save your metal tank from whatever would dent it?. because..... if itll dent metal, plastic tends not to be tougher
I think you missed the point. The tank on the BMW is not underneath the plastic. So, if the handlebars make contact with the plastic it's not going the damage the tank. It's less expensive to replace a $250 piece of plastic compared to a VERY expensive aluminum tank. Of course not every crash is going to protect the tank, but if the handle bars get shoved into the bike they won't screw the tank up.
@@antownemercer7552 why? did you ride 2023 and prefer 18? i had a ride on 23 rr few days ago and it was blast, altho i want 16 just because of cosmetic look also tried m1000r 23 and its way more comfortable and as fun and made me doubt if i should go with sport again lol
No the dealer did not allow test rides. When i sat on both the 18rr was more comfortable. The 23rr had way more gadgets and quality was on point. The 18rr was over 4k cheaper and that was what edged me closer to the 18rr. If money wasn't an issue i would definitely lean towards the 23rr. However i did not purchase either. I'm waiting for the winter months to see if i can get a better deal since bikes are out of season and the price tag drops a little.
BMW S1000RR is more track bike because it deliverers the most power 11,000 rpm+. While the new 2017 Suzuki gsxr gives you power through the whole bike(ex: low, med,high)
I've heard about the early Panigales under-seat exhaust being hot, but I think they improved the heat shield though. Never ridden one. I have ridden the 1198 and it was sweet.
I own a 2013 1199 with 22,000 miles. The seat heat is greatly exaggerated. Not an issue. Has the updated heat shield and thicker comfort seat. The seat frame bolt heads by your knees however have left heat scars on my thighs.
RED MAGA i know but to have a stock system that sounded so good oppsed to that euro 4 rubish is a shame was a nice sound and no extra spending needed😭.... the 2017 sounds like a BMW agian if you get what i mean😂

Agreed, I had a 2015 gsxr 750 and it was plastered with them.
I love videos like this, shows me things that i didnt know plus its short and to the point.
I pick mine up next week! Going from a cbr 600rr 2003 to a bmw 1000rr 😁 just won a lot of money and first thing I bought was one of those bad boys!
Alisterr Overreem buy me one while your at it lol.
Are you still alive😂
He’s lying
Nice vid, completely agree about the seat, very comfortable. I was blown away by this bike.
Simply great video, i enjoyed watching it.
+nolimit...Thank you.
Great video. Many thanks from the. UK. .....
a superb bike . great delivery as well. I'm going to get me a BMW S1000RR
Great vid! I did not realize that the steering damper is adjustable!
Awesome video mate. I simply can not wait anymore for my own RR to come in March 2017!
Thanks! You'll love the bike. More videos to come.

lol...sorry. Right. why wait.
Money doesn't grow on trees guys. Takes some time to earn up for the bike as well as to be able to afford the insurances and stuff :)

Callover Pete Thank you!
thanks for your post, is it possible if you post about the features of the display and modes? i heard that it has untivwheel option? thanks again
Seat is definitely amazing
Very nice vid. I have the 15. Best sports bike ridden. Only negative is it gets hot on the left side where the knee rests.
very simple to take apart and put back
Thx solid video
could you make a video on all the buttons on the bike's handle bar? please....
Will try...but I recommend you download the user manual from the BMW website in the meantime and take a look. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video buddy

good info to know on the new 16
did you know that if you leave the key in the ignition with the engine off, and you push the bike along over 3mph the headlight come on? try it.
AngryJoeMan didn't know that. thanks. Safety features perhaps.
Great sir,the Double R is a great bike.
Did you know it's "steering damper" ?
yep...Thanks
Love this
Cool vid. I didnt know all of that, I have a 16 also! All black tho.
whats the paint code for this bike I have the same one in that colour I need the red code please 🙏
did you know the mirrors go in too. lol like car mirrors have the same bike love her
Mate that part at the bottom of both fairings where you think is awesome actually has a bit missing connecting the two parts together
@g4rr377 .........😳
sat on ton of bikes and the bmws have the best seats, i wish i could put it on my ninja.
Do you know if my 2014 S1000RR has the semi unified braking system as well?
The 2014 brake system with BMW Motorrad race ABS has partially integral brake.

Bought a 2015 in that same color are the 15 and 16 the same?

your bike is fucking awesome! love the s1000rr! love the video too !! subbed :) ty

Didn't even know this bike had steering dampening
Does the elecronic suspension comes as standard? Because i've seen many of 2016-2017 owners had the semi active suspension
Evan dynanda Rushydi DDC comes in the premium package for the 2016.
Moreflying1 how much the difference between the standard and the Dynamic package?
Evan dynanda Rushydi It's about $1800 US
definitely get the dynamic
Did you know that BMW reverse engineered the ZX10 as the design paradigm for the S1000RR?
I thought it was the K5 K6 GSXR 1000. But don't have any facts to back that up..Where did you hear that?

Have you had any issues with your S1KRR?

U must get the 2D sensor
nice vid mate
Thank you.

awesome video! just got my 17 s1000rr and the first thing i did was take off those ugly "RR" stickers. You buy a 20k bike and they slap some cheap stickers on the side. ridiculous
you're not paying for the paintjob, you're paying for decades of R&D..
You can definitely feel it when you are breaking both rear and front - I stopped using the rear after a while. Did not know about the tank being Al.
I really threw me off when I felt the rear break being applied without my own foot pressure. Weird feeling for sure. Don't know why they don't say anything about the tank. Usually it's the up-spec bikes that get the aluminum, in other brands.
i want this bike so fucking bad
would you trade your kidneys for it?
whats the problem u go buy it ?save and ther u go
It’s 13k OBO private sale these days, go for it
Bro how bad does s1000RR heat up in daily use ???
It heats up the inner legs some on hot days. It's not unbearable though unless you're wearing shorts and flip flops.
sagar mishra The right side heats up a little
Does yours veer to the right?
Not that I've ever noticed. But then again I don't ride hands off even with the cruise control on.
Mine does, did you ever find the fix?
Mine does!!!!
