I think this channel is going to convince me to buy a bike. I've always been hesitant to get one because of all of the 3000lb death bullets piloted by distracted housewives, drunks, and teenage girls on the road. OK, I may have just convinced myself to not buy a bike again.

Had my S1000RR since early 2015, and while I do not ride it at its top since I am not tracking the bike. The only major issue with it since then is the quick shifter cutting out and that is mostly my fault for changing the shifter to an an aftermarket piece and messing up a sensor in the process. On the BMW cars I can see these repair bills being an issue especially among the M series, but the S1000 line has been pretty good. Especially when you consider that the same year I was about to get a brand new R1 which had a recall for a gearbox failure which could cause full lockup at any random speed....
TJ Gerrity 1.5L Inline 4-cyl. that makes 70hp. I'm not sure what the actual engine size is in ccs, but it's not big. I know the Accord engine was about 1,100cc so I think mine's smaller than that. :P
If I recall correctly this bike’s electronics and traction management was a real leap forward. Depending on the mode you had it in, it would keep you from looping the thing over, or sliding the rear out in a corner
You've got some dates wrong, dude. The R1 came out in '98 when Rossi was still riding 250s. He didn't ride a Yamaha in MotoGP until 2004. The BMW S1000RR out-R1d the R1 for sure. Any superbike that comes with cruise control and heated grips and goes and stops the way it does deserves its place at the top. I love your vids, man. Not trying to be a dick.
I love my 2015 model, having only been on some mopeds a 2003 Ninja 250 and an 07 R1 this bike is better than anything else I have tried by a long shot. Its comfy, not top heavy, leans in nicely. Traction control and corner ABS have already saved my ass. It has no issue puttering around town. The noise from the intake is amazesauce. And you can tour on it because you have heated grips and cruise control along with an adaptive suspension. I don't know what more you need. It just does everything well.
I love the s1000RR !!! FINALLY someone who did a review on a bike that doesn't receive enough attention. This is hands down the best BMW bike there is. If you gave me a list of bikes to choose from ranging between ( honda, yamaha, suzuki, kawisaki and the BMW ) i would choose the bmw.. only if it was the s1000rr. Other wise i would choose honda. and thats saying alot for me because im a die hard honda fan when it comes to bikes. Im mainly into dirt bikes when it comes to motorized bikes but if i ever were to get a street bike it would be either a CBR or this.
I thought I heard Simple & Clean from Kingdom Hearts in the end song Anyways, entertaining and informative as usual. Best wishes from North-East Pennsylvania 😄
Three things. That pupper was adorable. Simple and Clean cover was on point. What's the story with that wonky headlight? Threw me off whenever I saw the front end.
Motorcycles do not really need 2 great headlights. In endurance racing, most motorbikes only use one headlight. I guess BMW followed that and gave 2 different kinds of headlights to create that asymmetric face
***** Its actually all to do with airflow. The split design is just a a BMW thing to make them look different. They had to add the second headlight to get them road legal BUT they went with the small round light as it saves 300 grams haha. The body styling is different on the left and right sides as well, purely to vent heat evenly. This bike is the result of function over form motorcycle design.
Omg man, I laughed my ass off watching this. Your narratives are so brilliantly done, you had me laughing uproariously in a very quiet office. Well done. Where do you live, I'll let you review my bikes, 2 of them Triumphs. Keep up the supremely entertaining work. I'm gonna go shave my nuts now.

Sports tires are great and all but not everyone can afford to spend $300+ every 5-6,000 miles. PR3's can last a solid 12k at least. And for what it's worth, those tires are actually really grippy. Not something you'd use on the track but more than adequate for street use. You'd have to be going recklessly fast in order to start slipping on them.

Also, in most reviews both in Europe and the USA it usually comes ahead of the BMW I like BMW (pre-E90 M3s, endurance racing, Dakar Rally bikes...) but the Aprilia is better.

"It feels like a 600 when you get on it."
100% correct assessment. It feels much smaller than most other 1000's.
Nick Joslin agree, I sat on it once and it almost crushed my knees. Way too small for me.
nj4ck I must be a little smaller than you. It felt great when I rode it. I definitely wouldn't want anything larger.
Nick Joslin yeah I'm 6'4" so I get pretty uncomfortable on smaller bikes.

Right so you have a 1500cc civic and the Accords have not had anything close to a 1100 or (1.1 liter) ever as far as I know.

Awesome Japanese vs German engineering mentality story. I really enjoy the occasional bike reviews so keep up the diversity. Great channel guys!

The guitar guy totally caught me off guard with his Utada Hikaru song @6:45 lol...

My god, i haven't laughed so hard in a while. Good job dudes.
Intro song is so satisfying! Roman knocked it out of the park on this one. I wish there was a compilation of these.
There's no speed governor, I believe. The speedo just won't show how fast but you'll know it's over 180 mph...
