Those fked up headlights in the last generation is what made it really special

That was a pretty comprehensive review. Some other reviewers even fail to mention the RPM flat spot. Good job Adam.

I own the 2020 RR and have over 1000 miles on it. Mine is (Brentuning) flashed and this dramatically improves the performance and character of the bike. Not only are the limits gone, but it’s smoother and sounds better. It’s amazingly fast and drivable. I’ve also done a couple of track days on the 2020 RR (and previous generations) via California Superbike School. For a “commute” review, you should have looked at a bunch more of its features such as the Bluetooth integration (both phone and helmet), Nav, useful phone app, and the brilliant hill stop assist (it holds the brake for you when stopped on a hill so you can relax with a quick squeeze of the lever). The Sport display on the TFT console is easily selected, which gives more information such as max brake pressure, max DTC intervention, current and max left/right lean angle and a bunch more. It’s very cool. You only use the programmable Race Pro modes when you want something special (e.g., do higher wheelies/stoppies). In fact you can select how high (either way) you will allow it to go. For the track, I keep wheelie intervention high so it only allows about a 6” wheelie, so when the power wheelie rises exiting from a corner, you don’t need to let up on the throttle. Just keep the throttle pegged and it gives the max amount it should. The US-tune RRs at CSS had rough vibration at high revs/throttle as you describe. For whatever reason (maybe the tune), mine is considerably smoother. The handling, brakes, suspension, programmability, console and so much else are amazing. This is a great bike.

lol, love that he stalled it! I've been riding since '94 and I still manage to do that from time to time. feel like the biggest moron in the world when I do.. Good to know I'm not the only one and even the professionals do the same!

Lol at 5:23, this is something that my dad would do.

That iconic shark gills look fantastic . All future s1000 should be coming with those gills. It's signature of the bike

Am I the only one who sees the face of a Yamaha R3 in this lil fella?

Love how dude makes wheelies look like the easiest thing.

XWorks flashed my bike and I couldn't be happier. 44hp gain in 2nd and 3rd gear.

Great review. I appreciate your professionalism in presenting both the pros and cons. High value report.

Amazing how you covered every single intricate detail I was wondering about with my BMW S1000RR. I am coming off a Daytona 765 moto 2 and you have answered all my questions, thank you. SUBSCRIBED!!!!!

I feel sorry for US buyers with those restrictions; I’m in the UK and have an M Sport with 2,500 miles on and believe me it’s way faster than the previous generation. And getting into neutral gets easier as you get more miles on it 😁😉

I like how you explain things objectively without being overly hype about about the bike's power. The rest of the review channels just blurs the speedometer and mumbles like they have a lisp.

although I like the asymmetrical headlights of the old model.

"We've already turned off traction control, put it in race pro 1 mode..." "...can't get it into neutral"

14:27 props to not cutting this out. My 2016 also gets really hot and it vibrates in the handlebars. Hands goes numb after about an hour of riding. Thought about upgrading to the 2020, but not sure yet.

I like your honest reviews ! Seems like everything has to be reflashed nowadays. Cheers !

Can’t wait for you to do a review on this bike with an unrestricted ecu on a track 👍

1:42: That reminds me of the Triumph Daytona 675R.

I don’t know about all that ECU talk, somehow other manufacturers like Ducati, Yamaha, and Suzuki can build a new liter bike that has power below 9K RPM, but whatever the issue is, it’s a real problem here. I demoed this for my video and I was surprised just how flat and limp this engine is below 9000 RPM. On the street its useless. It’s like riding a 600cc power-wise until you hit the explosion of power at 9K. Unimpressive torque as well. BMW needs to fix this bike. Also I had a hell of a time finding neutral and the demo bike I rode had over 2K miles on it so it wasn’t a break in issue. And I see the issue is here as well. They need to fix all of this for 2021.

When you cycle the power like that did it keep your settings or revert to nanny mode?

Strangely, miss the asymmetrical healdights.

8:08 that "just joking" sounded so cute. honestly felt kinda bad xD

10:20 That sounds like a very uncomfortable ride.

Powerband measured in UK makes over 200hp at rw on dyno.

I really like the new looks of sr1000rr😍😍😍

I wanna know who has 30 mins to watched these mc commute vids.

Nice and balanced review. Thanks for the effort. Do you think unlocking the USA restrictions (with ECU flash) could potentially reduce vibrations or makes it worse? Are the vibes coming through on the foot pegs also?

That vibration would be a deal killer for me

Good normal every day type review , all the reviews I’ve seen on this bike are track based , I don’t use my bike on a track so they are irrelevant , i ride a 2019 Bmw s1000R sport & I’m looking forward to see how the single R version of this bike will turn out , looking like it will be 2021 now so I might get a test ride on a double R soon to see what they are like cheers

That jacket will look so nice covered in bug splatter. When you restarted the bike to change the screen, did it turn the rear ABS back on?

It's not acceptable to have "excessive vibrations" throughout the bike while moving up the revs - and it's one of the most expensive bikes in the competition.

I thought the asymmetrical lights were Motorrad's signature design choice just like the kidney grills are for the car division. It's sad to see it gone.

The big problem with too much tech, I just want to get on and ride.

What's the reason for turning traction control off? And ABS , I thought these technologies supposed to protect the rider?

He thought he could hang with that harley! "Real bike"

AWESOME video as always.

So looking forward to getting this bike in a couple years and hopefully they've fixed the neutral and brakes issue.

Such a high tech, extraordinary modern bike, packed with digital features, display, engine, etc. and you still have to struggle, play with the clutch and gas to get to neutral from a standstill..

22k? Hmm... That's a lot of money for a supersport. The Asian bikes are giving some serious competition. Time for a shootout...

Great job man. Good question and answer!

Cruising at 4k rpm at 60 mph, with the beemer in fifth gear, is exactly what my 85 hp, 600 sport bike is geared at in 6th (for extra mpg). But, first is radically different. My bike hits 72 in first at 13k, while the beemer hits it at 10k. Launches are very difficult with only 85 hp and 45 ft-lbs of torque, but imagine DOUBLE of both. Should be easy, despite the slightly taller gearing. Doing the math, the S1000 should hit 93 mph at 13k. I remember an R1 from a few years back that hit 98 mph in first.

Traction Controls works in conjunction with engine braking, so you should leave Traction Control ON

American reviewers: "Disappointing engine flat spot" Everyone else: " Incredible engine, even beats 1100cc rivals!" Too bad about the restrictions!

Adam in terms of Vibration how would your compare to R1 or R6….

The location of the screen is too far below the eye line of the rider, this is a complaint i've had of my last 2 bmw including the GS 850 I own now. On that s1000, it's practically buried in the chassis, I would not like that at all. As far as the feature navigation goes, it's not difficult to figure out. ECU tuning can be done remotely by some of the better shops, no need to remove it.

How would you rate the build quality, material, selection fit and finish, the whole 9 yd as compared to the best Japanese and Italian bikes? Thanks.

great video - can you do the fireblade review and zx10r thx

Cruiser Rider question: what does RR mean race ready?

Well done review Adam... NICE👍

“This bike doesn’t like going on neutral” Reminded me of motonosity

Monster bike. With a full akrapovic system and a remap on the ecu its putting out +15hp in the mid range. Love it. Might have been better learning the interface before shooting the video tbh - weird seeing you have to turn the bike on and off to get to the main dash when you just had to push up on the menu.

Picking one of these up next week. I'm about 5"9...will my.neck back and hand be asleep within an hour? I would like the bars to be like helibars...less aggressive...more upright..

Does it seem to anyone else that this guy is braking really really late rollin up to some of those lights……yikes! My Duc has M50 brembo’s and I would never push them that much……but nice review dude! Stay safe out there!

Loved riding it, love the look, LOVED the brakes - they are insane. HATED the mirrors as well as how cheap the switch gear felt.

Good reviews, Adam. Thanks.

How are the gears placed people? Is it: 1N2345 etc Or how is it?

I like the gloves he’s wearing, wonder who makes those?

Check those wheel for cracks and understand BMW dealer told me they won't warranty them

Some unwanted stoplight chatting at 11:56 lol

I can't wait to see the single r version. I bought a Speed triple r over the s1000r only because I couldn't stand the look of it. Super Naked should look more muscular rather than looking like a messed up spaceship. The current s1000r looks like a spaceship that just had a photon torpedo blown up in its face.

Magnificent this design.

I don't get how only you mentioned the vibrations and also the power problem..

I want to hear the word "a small cheap bike" or somewhere between the line. But as always good content from Adam as the host of the videos! 😎🏍

Commute time: Grom-45 min; BMW S1000RR: 43min

Outstanding commute review.

There is one new bike out on the market with adjustable foot pegs for the rider and I can't remember which one it is do you know?

wait, is it 2020 in Germany already?!

What about the heat? Is it anoying for street/road?

We want full beans!!!

Faaak... I almost fractured my toe last week trying to get that damn thing into neutral after a demo ride. After a minute or so of trying, it seemed to become locked in 1st. Nice bike but that neutral issue is very irritating for a new bike

Hey! Where was the curtesy wave to Harley Dude?!

What is with the neutral? I saw a few reviewers have problems with that.

If you retuned the bike to remove the cpu limitations from the factory, does it nullify your warranty?

When this bike has more tech features than my 2011 Elantra #feelsbadman.

13:57 isn't that just like V-Tec

Can't wait to see this against Ducati V4 and Yamaha R1.

The old S1000rr looks better and more unique.

Is that a police officer in your right mirror at 19:00? Lol. Awesome review- this bike will forever be out of my reach but interesting nonetheless.

I doubt it is restricted in the U.S. when it's not in Europe.

I can hear the vibrations of the bike through your voice lol

Oh God these emission restrictions on motorcycle needs to stop

Vibrations from an inline 4 at 15:00? Maybe that's why even the little 310 also vibrates beyond 7000rpm- Genetic issue maybe

Does the bike give you static?

First thing i will change the exhaust

How long can you sit there fiddling with the geegaws and trying to get it into neutral before you overheat the motor?

Watch. That neutral issue will be next years feature when its corrected.

Great review

Interesting that it makes such close torque to the Ducati supersport s

Next do a commute review of Boeing Aircraft.......😂

no need to queue at traffic light that feels so good

If the Yamaha FZ/MT-10 is the Decepticon of of motorcycles the BMW S1000RR is the Autobot

I have really been wondering for a while the truth about Adam’s gushing review of the R1 yet his seemingly bored mood with the BMW. What is the deal. He doesn’t SAY it yet I hear his disgust with the BMW and his love for the R1. I just wish he’d acknowledge it and say why.

Holy crap look at all them buttons my bike has 1 the start button..

Bro all that shit... turn on this, turn off that, set this to max... I couldn't ride this bike because i would be uncomfortable riding it while feeling it's not set-up the best way... I'll stick with my 2006 ninja 636, i just get on and ride

i went to see this at the dealer and it costs $30 000 Canadian with all the options. In my opinion this doesn't feel special compare to aprila rsv4 1100 factory or the ducati v4

I hated the look of teh S1000RR for so many years & Now I Miss It More Than Ever😭 *I'm going to buy a 2018 S1000RR* It will always be the Aventador of Superbikes

This bike or 2020 r1m?

U can see the gear when u push 1 or 2

I'm not sold on the 2020 I'm sticking to a older year .
