Thanks to you, I've finally learned how to properly pronounce Akra-povic! I was doing it all wrong by saying Ak-ra-po-vic :) The comparison between the R and RR was a nice touch. I ride a 2015 R myself and I completely agree that this bike has the potential to transform any rider into a hooligan. It has so much power and yet makes one feel so confident about being able to take any corner at any speed. I'm 46 and I'm barely mature enough to handle it!

An European channel that isn't British and in English, just what i was looking for!

Loved how you compared both the RR & R versions!

I'm a huge fan of your Channel and watching this in 2020 was like going back in time. You guys have come so far and I've really enjoyed it. Thank you!

Nice review and wonderful video. Love the drone shots!

I've owned the '16 model for about a year now. I've put just under 10k miles. The bike still acts like it did the day I brought her home. Absolutely incredible. I'm still blown away sometimes at what this bike's allows me to do. If there's 2 words I could use to describe it, they would be: Confidence Inspiring. I never felt comfortable enough to really lean on previous bikes. With this one, I was touching my knees to the ground after a couple thousands miles.

I have the same bike as tested, and agree with all that you have said. The quality of your recording and presentation is outstanding - well done!

Loved your little dance with the two bikes. You guys are so Natural, unrehearsed and free flowing. Awesome review as usual.

Nice vid mate, enjoyable and full. Watching before spleeping when I'm missing mine ;-)

Two very impressive individuals from Romania. Nice report gentlemen. Thank you.

Good job 👍. Nice review, good camera work and awesome music.

Good bike review! Succinct dialog, clear, contrasty video footage, glorious country side! With the video duration at around 12 mins it is not too and not too short. Keep up the good work, guys!

2000 subscribers when you posted this video. You’ve come a long way since then!

Beautiful bike in some beautiful scenery. Nicely made guys!

Thx for the review. Absolutely love my 2016 S1000R.

Pretty decent stuff man.. am gonna sub!

I bought one in 2015, so those slight differences you mentioned. I had an Akrapovic slip-on fitted to mine and it was very sweet without being offensive to anyone. I definitely agree about the smoother roads only preferably. I found some reasonable roads on other bikes could be really harsh on the S1,000R. How can you not get it through that first thousand ks and the rev limit opened up? You were only using the lower half of the revs it's capable of, and although they do pull surprisingly well even at those lower revs, the power just goes up and up as the engine screams insanely and what's available after about 10,000 is just pure insanity. You also had a brand new one so tighter engine and most likely running on mineral oil at that stage means slower still. I appreciate your review, but with a tight new engine limited to the low powered half of the revs it's by no means a complete review. Please do it again with one fully loosened up and unrestricted. I know I was just mesmerised on my test ride on the bikes test bike which had only just been unlocked when I went for a ride at the ultra smooth transition on full throttle from around 1,500 rpm to nearly 12,000 rpm in 3rd gear and the strong but smooth increase in acceleration till the camera on top of my carbon fibre Rossi AGV helmet started to tear my head off. Mind you that was a perfect helmet for that bike, just not with a go pro stuck on top. Once loosened up properly they are a schizophrenic bike. They can behave so tamely and in an instant become a raging insane monster. Man I miss mine. An idiot in a car took care of the bike and me when he lunged his jacked up Jeep wagon out in front of me while I was legally cruising at 100 kph with just about 20 feet to try and wash off some speed. I'm alive, though stuffed, the bike is alive somewhere, despite having the frame cracked from me laying it down so hard. I had to sell it though as the damage to me makes riding any great distance impossible and a sports style bike just too hard on my shoulders that got torn up pretty bad like the rest of me. I hit the car chest first and pulverised my left upper chest and tore my shoulders up by using my arms like doing a 100 kph reverse push up off the side of that Jeep. I had 5 holes in my left lung and lost my spleen. I've been riding for over 50 years and this was by far the most awesome bike I've ever owned so naturally everybody had to try and kill me on it, arghhhh!

That Magic Carpet comment touched my heart! :)

Thanks for the review. I'm waiting on our local dealer to get this model in (as well as the XR). Cannot wait to ride this bike!

As always a well presented review,thks.

Good review guys. well done

Great review mate 🙏

2014/2015/2016/2017 Every S1000R are just awesome..

Awesome review, best regards

Great vid & review!! Keep up the good work :)

Thank you for this Video. :) Good Job guys.

nice test 👍

Your videos are getting better and better! I would love to have this bike, or MV Agusta Brutale, and possibly an Indian Scout haha.

great footage!

love the vids

sound amazing

Very professional review. I would love to visit Romania as it has some of the best preserved forests and wildlife in Europe. And the Transfagarasan highway of course!

You have sold me the BMW S1000r, i will go and buy one for the summer, with the Acrappypitch exhaust

Goodness. Makes me want to trade my fz8 in and hop right on right the s1000r lmao, beautiful bike.

I luv this bike and hope to own 1 in the future whats it like with a passenger ? Great review

Neat Review.. We need more in English. Thanks!

Moto Madness intro :D

Nice review, thx! You did mention something about the helmet. Yes, it's very important but on hyper naked bikes you need a helmet designed for this sort of biked. Like Arai Rebel etc.. Regarding runin period. When I hired one of those from my local dealers they told me.... ride it like you would ;)

Will the 2021 model finally come with a TFT screen? Hmmmm...we'll see

Romania? Greeting from malaysia, what a beautiful country!

I have that same color....Catalano gray. Do you like it? Very nice review. One of the best for this bike in comparison to the S1000RR.

i love that at one point you just stopped in the lane and put on hazard lights and no one got pissed. in the USA you will for sure be yelled at or honked at

Hey guys, please tell me the Song as 4:50. Thanks

Thanks for the great review and video quality.. I'm sure the bike fells and performs good. I've noticed the trend in bikes today: first non existent pillion seat. A lot of riders would like too take their significant other for a ride. These perches are almost non functional and place a passenger too high and uncomfortable. Gone are the days in the 80s and 90s where you could have both. Let's be honest. I've ridden for almost 30 years in all kinds of bikes and in my experience the majority of riders will never even come close by a mile to the bikes limits and capabilities. Also newer bikes are very angular and full of flat edges and lack the beauty of bikes of yesteryear. They look more like machines the Borg would ride. Most new owners chuck the stock exhaust which has been thoroughly engineered for the bike and spend big bucks on performance units that will not help them be better riders or enhance their skills; not even close since they cannot exploit all the bike has to have in stock form.

I'm still thinking about your speech feature, where are you from, comrade?)

Nice Test. But what is that line at 9:40 , would've expected more from a motorcycle focused channel

Excellent as always!

Beautiful bike with a sweet sounding engine. Beautiful country as well. You are lucky to be able to split lanes in traffic, the police are all over our ass here in Florida.

Great work. Where are you located?

I love my red 2014 S1000R. It's a fantastic bike.

Great road at the end ( twists ) , where is it ??????

Great video as always. Which one would u choose s1000r or MT 10?

Nu stiu daca ati probat intre timp si Yamaha MT10, nu gasesc nici un video , as vrea sa stiu parerea voastra comparand-o cu s1000r

wow ...dream bike...also I'm working for it ✊✌

nice review. did you already try the Tuono 1100?

Sportbikes are not meant for being tortured in halted traffic..they wanna roam the roads, freely, or at least "Victoriei" evening rides.. For bad traffic i suggest a cheap scooter. Keep up the good work!!! I like your videos!

It’s a “holy day”!

wow

When those people rode pushbikes in front of your camera, don't ever edit out things like that. It makes the video feel natural and interesting in my personal opinion. Too many people opting for video cuts and different camera positions every 10 seconds.

4:35 shades and a tinted visor

FPS Russia reviews bikes now?

Best bike

how is the suspension on bumpy roads?

iu ar mai frend end ai chil iu for nating ! :))

"like always, have nice day"

no break-in period for a newly bought beast?

whats the weight of it ?

"Bomboana de motor" - Vlog Bandit 2K17

setting up position on a highway will be tough 70 MPG + will be a struggle in a little windy day and that is maximized without fairings, RR is much better and geared better for a highway and touring.

and we are Goin to steel........ the Mooooooooooooon

RIP

Romenian guys!

here's a question how tall are you and your friend?

The seat height seems low. Awesome!

Slav music 😂

I rode this and the Ducati Monster 1200S. I will do another test. For me right now the Ducati is more fun.

did I hear some romanian in the background?? 😜

cool accent

So it doesn't pop and crackle when u let go of the throttle? And that's the ugliest akra exhaust I've ever seen

Why do keep blipping the engine? That's what children do to impress the girls
