BMW Motorrad expanded into the adventure-sport motorcycle category with its original S 1000 XR. Based off the German brand’s ultra-high-performance S 1000 RR superbike, the redesigned 2020 XR borrows a tweaked version of the S 1000’s recently overhauled liquid-cooled 999cc inline-four (read the 2019 BMW S 1000 RR First Look) with a lighter and more sharp-handling chassis designed for added agility as outlined in the 2020 BMW S 1000 XR First Look Preview. In typical Motorrad fashion, electronic improvements and a plethora of options came on our testbike raising MSRP to $22,640 as tested. Watch this video and see what the Bavarian brand’s top-of-the-line adventure-sport bike is like to ride on the road.

Great review, love the format. Respect for being able to talk during a wheelie gone bad, usually I swallow my heart blocking my windpipe thus muting my voice. Cheers Adam.

These MC Commutes are some of my favorite motorcycle videos. Adam is entertaining to listen to and watch. He obviously does his research on each bike and delivers interesting narrative during the ride. I don't have the skill or guts to ride as aggressively as he does, so it's fun to watch Adam split lanes and "give it the beans".

@uski 4 жыл бұрын

There is a HUGE difference between Rain and Road. You will notice it after the revlimiter has been removed. Dynamic allows for power wheelies which are prevented in Road mode and later ABS intervention. Dynamic Pro allows for stunts if you're into that (stoppies, ...) and disables almost all assistance.

regarding the touchscreen... IMO touchscreens are a bit of a fad wrt bikes, good handlebar controls are FAR more important so you don't have to take your hands off the bars. Touch could be handy when stopped but with good bar controls even that is kindof pointless. I've always like the S1000XR performance but found it less capable for touring compared to the Ducati Multi and KTM SA. Strikes me more as a "tall guy's hypernaked". One big improvement is getting rid of the pannier scaffolding and going with a better integrated mounting solution... makes the bike look MUCH better without bags.

Agree it's good NOT having it... but it's a reliability thing for me. The electronic controller is buried in the head, subject to extreme heat cycles, and will eventually fail. What then, will the bike even start?

KTM Super Duke R, BMW S1000R, Kawasaki Z1000 for the fun. Ducati Diavel S or XDiavel S for cruising and accelerations. Kawasaki Ninja H2 and Z H2, Yamaha VMAX, if you want to die on the road (joking) Or for allrounders : BMW S1000XR, KTM Super Duke GT, Ducati Multistrada Grand Tour, Honda Africa Twin Sports Adventure ES DCT (electronic suspension).

Hi, could you do a video about the best performance on specific mileage of engine oil? This question has confused me for many years, I feel like the engine would always perform better after few hundreds of mileage than just changing new motor oil. Some of our local racers also agree with the opinion, they sometimes run the motor oil to specific mileage and breed it out for stocking, keep it till the track day and reuse the oil again for best engine performance. My question is "why the engine won't perform best when the oil is new? what makes it performed better after a few hundreds of mileage of engine running?". Thank you very much for reading my question.
