In Dynamic Pro you don't need TC off to wheelie, also Suspension is always fully self adjusting, both in Dynamic and Road mode, Dynamic is simply the sportier setting, also 226kg is the wet weight not dry.

@LifeofSmokey 9 ай бұрын

Did I say dry weight? Damn sorry about that 😅. And the wheelie acted up really strange. Best friend found some stuff on the internet that the software from the S1000XR just doesn't want you to do long wheelies 😅🤷‍♂️

@AntaresSQ01 9 ай бұрын

@@LifeofSmokey No problems, just wanting to make sure the XR gets the proper justice it deserves, way too many people look it down, and imo the Gen 2 is worse than the Gen 1, it lost a lot of it's "fizz" the Gen 1 would walk a non shiftcam RR up to 100mph due to better geometry for acceleration and more midrange. One of the best bikes I've every owned. Still makes me question my choice to replace it with the 1290 SDGT. But alas both are great bikes in different ways. The XR is definitely the best allrounder there is though save for offroading.

@DarrenStarr 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for the brilliant review as always Smokey, I'm torn between an M1000R, S1000RR or S1000XR. Mainly road ride, but want to do track next year, would be nice to be able to tour with the Mrs Pillion sometimes. Most fun would probably be the S1000RR, Most pracitcal daily M1000R and for our longer journeys, the XR. Will have to see. Thanks again for your brilliant content. 🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:02 🏍️ This video features a review of the 2023 BMW S1000 XR, a high-performance motorcycle. 01:12 🔊 The BMW S1000 XR has a high-revving inline-four-cylinder engine that gives it a race bike feel, even though it's more upright. 03:04 🚲 The motorcycle has a Pro riding mode and Dynamic Pro, but the clutch wheelie control is limited to prevent over-rotation. 03:50 📏 The BMW S1000 XR has a seating height of 840mm (reducible to 790mm), making it suitable for various rider heights. 04:24 🏁 The bike features 17-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, 165 horsepower, and 114 Newton-meters of torque, offering a sporty and capable ride. 05:41 🏍️ The BMW S1000 XR is designed for touring and boasts a top speed of over 200 km/h with a 20-liter gas tank. 06:21 🔑 The motorcycle has a storage compartment that can fit a key, some change, and even a credit card. 08:08 🛠️ The bike's display offers various information, including battery status, tire pressure, temperature, and lap timers, making it suitable for track use. 10:01 🌬️ The wind deflection of the BMW S1000 XR's screen is effective, providing a comfortable and stable highway ride. 10:48 🏞️ The reviewer prefers the high-revving inline-four engine of the BMW S1000 XR over the BMW GS boxer engine for comfort and performance.

You have the rev light flashin at 6000-7000 rpm and shifts up there, wich is way to early, my light is set at 11500 rpm, rev limiter at 13500 rpm. the speeds you are doing 55, 60 70 kmh, i would be in 1e or 2nd, not in 4th or 5th. The bike comes to life at 4000 and realy lives up above 7000. When cruising the highways, I set cruise control to 140 kmh in 5th or 160 kmh in 6th. I ride between 25000 and 30000 a year, all year all weather between Hasselt, Antwerp and Brussels with my 2019 model XR. The big windscreen, denali d2's on the cambus big comfortable sadle and three bmw paniers make this the perfect commuter. (try filtering the 313, 314 or brussels or antwerp ring, it's fun!)

@LifeofSmokey 9 ай бұрын

It was a brand new bike and just did 1000km and needed to come in for first service just when I picked it up. That's probably why the shift light is set so low. I also don't want to destroy anything so I'm very careful with the bikes I get from the press fleet 😁. But agree it's a perfect daily rider and the sound is awesome!

@petervautmans199 9 ай бұрын

Ok, that is sensible, first 1000 kms revs are limited to 9000 something . Service center will reset this at the first service. Light, you can set yourself.

You are kinda right on the engine and not, to be specific this is the engine from the S1000R, the diference to the RR is that the superbike engine has variable cams that give it that top end power, kinda like the old E46 M3 had, the XR and R have just normal cams, the M1000XR will come with the RR motor and it will be on a diet, that bike should be proper fun.

@EEEBA1 if you go for full headers, you might need db killer to suppress the exhaust note. Db killer will take some power out which you are gaining from headers, so whats the point?

Hi Smokie I tryed a 2023 test bike at a BMW dealer. And it is a nice bike, fast, nimbel, and comfy. But at the same time it was a bit boring (like its to nobel, lags character and sharpnes, especially in its throttle control, I felt as if "it has a throttle cable made from elastic cord" What is your opinion on this topic?

@LifeofSmokey 9 ай бұрын

Let's just say I am also waiting on the +200hp version just like you 😁. I liked the bike a lot but BMW's for my experience need to be smooth and fast. Ducati needs to have a bit more mechanical feeling to it and KTM has to be that raw beast. I think BMW did a very good job with how this bike rides for their dna. But the bike comes to life in high rpm's and that's where you need to keep the revs. I like it , love the sound and smoothness but I do need some more horsies 😌

@Kirkster131 9 ай бұрын

Yea, even the RR bikes over here are nerfed heavily. A tune of some sort is mandatory. I did the Bren Stage 1 after riding it for a day after the 600 mile break in unlock. Whole different animal, a few days later I did the exhaust and all of the Bren performance mods as well as the Bren Stage 2. Yes it is not an RR but damn…. Will see about the M1000XR next year, probably going to be a very limited numbers bike. But frankly the XR should have had the shift cam motor already…

Whilst i loved the S1000XR, i felt that here in the UK, it was wasted on the roads. You couldn't utilise it's performance fully. I had initially set my budget at 17k, but after turning down the 1000XR, i settled on a 900XR TE at 8.5k, which was more than enough for UK roads and touring. That now leaves me with 8.5k for a weekend toy/very occasional track day. Hoping to get out this weekend to test a Speed Triple 1050 RS or 2019 SDR 1290. Cracking review. Was hoping to get a 901 Expedition but earliest we can get orders in the UK is next March/April which was a deal breaker for me.

😆 First what? First person to say nothing? 🤣 Did you immediately call you mom or significant other to tell them the good news? Just make a comment for Gods sake. If you can only muster one word try cool or awesome. Add something. Sorry it’s a pet peeve. 🤣

The most uncomfortable seat ever put on any bike! Love to see how that Genius Designer’s bottom feel after an hour of riding. Another Berlin F… up and they do nothing to correct it!

I think they tried to introduce a M3 bucket seat into a motorcycle 😁

When your foot or feet on the ground, seat is very uncomfortable. But when you are on the pegs, all good.

The worst bike BMW has ever made. Nothing but vibrations

Have been told this by multiple people but didn't notice that riding. Didn't take it on a 400km ride so darn should have known that in advance 😁

Earlier generations of this bike had significant handlebar vibrations at around 5500 rpm. Riders complained loudly and they've worked hard to eliminate them in the most recent generations. And they were never that bad - I had the gen 1 of this bike and put 22,000 miles on it, including 600 miles plus days without any real issue.

The "vibration issue" has been solved since 2019. Ride safe!
