It’s a really good, underrated bike. I don’t think the 2021/22 is enough of an upgrade to justify the cost of trading up. It’s pretty much the same bike except for the styling and big dash. If you can get a 2017-2020 S1000R for a good price it’s definitely worth considering.
@@hermzohd cheers for that... Thats what i was thinking.. I bought at ftr1200 its got a great engine and ergonomics that make it feel very playfull .... But... It does not quite deliver leaning the bike it feels like it is going to start drifting at the slightest misjudgment.. Great if thats the plan but not when it happens unexpectedly.. Cheers.
Hello !! Nice video really love it !! Does this motorcycle has "blipper" (lower gear without touching the clutch) ? From what year to what year did they add this option ? I guess 1st generation S1000R has only "Quickshifter" and the 2nd generation (yours) they added the "Blipper" , am I right ? Great clip loved it !
How do you find the S1000R over a full fairing bike? I’m looking at a bunch of different bikes but can’t seem to make a judgement between these super naked bikes and the full fairing versions haha
The S1000R is a great bike, really underrated, but for the type of riding I do these days (barely any commuting) I prefer a fully faired sports bike. I now have a 2021 S1000RR and it’s pretty much perfect for me.
Nice vid i can´t wait to get my hands on one of these. I´m saving up and hope to buy a 2018 this year.
You’ll love it.
@@hermzohd i sure will :)
Same here a gen 2 2017-2020
Get the up and down quick shifter rather than just up on gen one
@@512460 And the updated chassie
@@totinontotinon oh yh and updated electronics, extra 5hp and a bit of weight reduction i can't remember exactly how much maybe 2kg.
Smooth mate, real smooth.
What do you think of this model. Would you trade it for 2021 or later models?.. Nice riding .. Too many roadside trees for my liking.. Stay safe.

Hey, thanks for watching. Yes it’s got a blipper from 2017 onwards.

Sweet video! How did you blur the speedo out?
Thanks. I used mask tracking in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Where did u put the Zoom H1n to capture the bike's sound ?
I think it was under the pillion seat for this video. Can’t remember exactly but that’s usually where I’d put it. Thanks for watching.
@@hermzohd Thx men !!
Cape Town?
Nope, Australia
