stig800 Haha Thanks!! Yes unfortunately about a month ago something went in my back (old sporting injuries) but turned out to be I badly damaged / slightly tore my right hip flexor muscle so haven't been on the bike for a bit. This is footage from before and I've actually got footage from when I went out with that GSXR 1000 that I went out with on my MT07 just before my back went too but still editing that one. Hopefully I can get back on the bike very soon 😀👍
Steve Hall Yeah I hope it drops too! When do you go on that road trip is that tomorrow? Backs on the way but haven't been on my bike for 4 weeks now lol this footage is before it went 👍
Thermal lining isnt in just yet :P Dont think i'll put it in, rather whack a thin jumper under my jacket, and if its dry, a hoodie over the top :D Think im gonna invest in the little screen for the Street Triple, to try deflect some of the wind off my chest. I dont mind cold, as long as its dry :D Bike sounded epic after you screamed past that M4
StreetTripleSam Haha yeah I know what you mean... I did that for a bit last year but some chills were still sneaking in haha. Yeah as long as it's dry tho it's all good 😁
Great video mate, bike sounds mint. Looking at getting the s1kr as an upgrade to my MT07 as well. Looked online and the manual said it has launch control and pit lane limiter on the 2017 model if you have riding modes pro, which I assume was a standard option on the s1kr sport. Do you know if this is correct, i assume your bike is the sport, so has the riding modes pro? Thanks in advance
JK Chau Hey!! Yeah I love the s1kr mate it is the best bike I've ridden! You will love it! I do indeed have the s1000r sport and you have 4 modes, well only 3 when you get the bike: Road / Rain / Dynamic. You get a little red chip connector with your pack and if you want it fitted you have to take it to your dealer when you have your 600 mile service and ask them to fit it. When they fit this you will also have Dynamic Pro mode (which is only mainly good for track use). But you are correct in saying you have a pit limiter and launch controll, it's off the RR. You can use these features in Dynamic or Dynamic Pro modes 👍👍😊 Hope that's some help. Thank you so much for the comment and for watching and stay safe! Let me know if you end up getting one 👊🏍💨
Chris MotorLife Cheers for the reply, that sounds great, they have so much kit on them compared with some of the competition. I’ve got a deposit on one coming early next week, so if everything works out I should be getting that one, can’t wait.
JK Chau Yeah they have all the gadgets you need and aswell as the quick shifter the auto blipper for the downshift is immense! I test rode the MT10 / GSXS1000 / Aprilia Tuono V4 / Kawasaki Z1000 but when I got on the BMW I just molded into the bike and it felt right! Haha... that's awesome news mate I hope you get it!! 👍✌
Thermal liner well and truly back in!
MAXrider At least it's not just me then haha
Great video. I was wondering where you were.great to see you back.

Been cold off an on here in Colorado for a month now. The heated grips have saved my hands more than once on the way to work. Be safe out there.
Shiyan Haha yes I've never had heated grips on previous bikes but so glad I've got them when the weather is colder. Thanks you stay safe too! 😀👍👍
Liners in, hoping this wind drops and dries out for tomorrow, glad to see your backs holding up.
Steve Hall Yeah I hope it drops too! When do you go on that road trip is that tomorrow? Backs on the way but haven't been on my bike for 4 weeks now lol this footage is before it went 👍
Chris MotorLife lakes was September, some great roads and weather was fine, just haven't been out for couple of weeks, might get out tomorrow.
Steve Hall Ah Yeah! Glad you had a good time. Hope you manage to get out tomorrow 👍
