I’m 77 years old as of April 15 and have 4 bikes. A 2000 BMW R 1150 GS , a 2001 BMW K 1200 RS , 2001 BMW S 1000 R , which I’m crazy about and lastly a 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa . Age is just a number and I have been riding 62 years.

My friend upgraded from a S1000R to. M1000R last year. He just turned 72. AND he will leave pretty much anyone whos dumb enough to try in the dust in the twisties! Age is just a number, i hope i’ll be like my friend when i’m 72

Well done! Yes, those 1,5 roads can be tricky. 2 weeks ago I meet a young dude in a hugh Audi. He did some fantasy speeds in that corner. A left corner for me, so looking into his headlights I decided to go on the edge as much as I could. Passed the speedfreak, but came to close to the roadedge and the wheels went into the soft side and I was all of a sudden sitting in the ditch. So I'm glad I can sit here today with my "double" knee and watch your films! So all you guy's out there, you might be a skilled rider who can handle both bike and road...but you might encounter a young piebrain in dads fast car. Take care!

Amazing content as usual!! We are waiting also for the new 900xr Once again, greetings from Greece

The opening of your video, it's almost like you're drooling thinking about riding it. Great job as always!

The profile of that bike is *chef's kiss*!

You are one very careful rider. BRAVO.

Yeah, Scott, Another piece of Art from BMW, no doubts about it whatsoever! I hope to endure, reaching Seventy’s with enough stamina and be able to take pleasure on a bike like this choosing to ride it through the so called golden years…even if it’s just to ride it on a short road ride, contemplating its beauty and majestic performance while enjoying a nice drink on a sunny esplanade…Track days, I’m already not so excited for it today, at 59 years old. But it’s as you say to each, their own 👌🏻

Good Morning Scott. Keep your old introduction background song that I came to love😂 That introduction song has become a flagship of your channel my friend. Great looking bike but I don`t have the big bucks available for this awesome machine...hehehe...😃 God bless🙏 and stay safe bro. Cheers!!!👍💪🤛

I am kinda crushing on this.. Seriously considering getting one and add to the garage.

I need more information about these vibrations on the highway... maybe a long-term test of this bike?? PLEASEE 😁

Thanks for the awesome review. Is the seat more comfortable than old S1000xr seat? I felt bmw should have included a side and top pannier as an option. That would make it the ultimate sport touring bike.

Amazing review! Awesome bike!

Great vid! Hope it comes in the ASA soon! I’m in…ride safe!

Awesome review and amazing bike, great job 👍✌

another great video. thanks!

Picked up the RS multistrada, expensive but has character

Amazing bike!!😎👍🏼

I don’t know Scott, if you buy that bike you’ve got something to prove. It is a nice looking bike for sure.

nice - i think a lot of folks forget that there is a big difference between horsepower and displacement though. I love the XR, but that seat really lets it down.

Amazing machine !!

That bike sounds fantastic.

Very nice were certainly spoiled for choice as motorcyclists, what an awesome machine BMW thanks for the review Scott great job as always PS do you still have the RT?

Nice ultimate riding machine

Fantastic bike.

This vs Multi RS? I’m not sure which is the better machine. Both are amazing.

Great review, Thanks. What jeans are you wearing? they look great.

My dream bike🔥

Where we need these grazy fast bikes? I have mt09 sp year 2022. I think it is fast enough. It rips my arms! We have max speedlimit 120km/h. I liked honda vt750 in my 20s, now soon 40. Btw, i really like your detailed long videos, like pro! Most friendly hellos from Finland to you👌

If I was to buy another bike, that'd be #1 on the list to try.

Even though I typically had/ rode BMW Boxers, the in-line 4 S1000XR was one of my favorite do-it-all motorcycles (mine was the first generation). For "me" its "ONLY" downside was that it beckoned to be ridden fast all the time and at 69 years old I sold it to get something more laid back to better suit my age/ less need for speed.

Wow! Sick bike. Well done BMW

Men how did you get a hold of that model so fast. Good test review

Beautiful bike, beautiful countryside - it would be very easy to get distracted by the roadside brooks and meadows.🙂 I'm guessing you were far from the Autobahn .... did you mention buffeting at high speed?

Nice riding shots, getting better at flying the drone, how are you faring? Are you keeping it?

Wow those roads! What part of Germany is this?

Prove! You must be a rock star for them to let you ride that rocket 🚀

What bike would you choose to ride often for 8 hours? A Honda NT or Africa Twin? (because of the automatic transmission)

This bike is insane! Love the profile. I'm 6'-3". Any bikes like this for tall guys but nowhere near as expensive and over the top fast?

Well done review about an „interersting“ bike. Interesting, because I ask myself who needs/ wants such a bomb: Too high (for racing), too fast, too expensive (for the vibrations/ motor noise and lack of comfort), no fish, no meat.

No hard luggage, manual rear pre load and top end you can't use on the street I bought the standard gravity blue S1000XR and am very happy with more money in the checking acount

Can you try to get the XR with the M package and luggage and do a review. I just move to Germany and I’m thinking that be the perfect bike or maybe the new GS.

I can picture riding this up and down Grimmel Pass or something. Would be amazing! There’s really no rhyme or reason for these bikes as they are so powerful, and I think that’s why BMW makes them.

This is absolutely the superbike for tall guys😮

The bike must be euro5+. Does it still have the "plopping" in race pro mode or is it gone? Thx, as always and keep on going. Die Linke zum Gruß

What a coincidence! Just today I was at my dealer and had a very close look at the M1000XR. Did you do any gravel, and how was that?

Funny, tried it the whole day yesterday. Did a tank full (300km). Crazy. Fell in love.

I was riding such 1-1,5-lane roads in the Swiss Jura and Elsass yesterday. Lots of dirt on the roads, hidden corners... a 20hp bike would have been enough 😂

Like the looks of this bike with exception of the big catalytic converter.

Why on all your rides with the XR, the rpm counter starts the red line at 8000rpm. The engine temperature is low ?

Wow Scott, you don’t get to test ride those too often. Was it a used one or a brand new demonstrator? Either way, a truly beautiful bike with a racing pedigree. You’re so lucky to have experienced this. Thanks to your regular dealer 👌🤙

Coming from a 701 supermoto looking for more power , does that xtra that 200 lbs affect corner entry speed? Had a GS behind me yesterday that was fast but on those corners i pulled so far ahead of him . What say ye?

i feel like this and the Pikes Peak answer a question no one was asking. Sure, I get that power while touring is a given, not arguing against that at all. I'm starting to think this iteration of sport tourers is a means to justify the existence of the higher tuned engines against the tightening emissions regs

In India, Ducati Streetfighter V4 S is costing 34 lakhs on road ( Bangalore ), where as the BMW M1000 XR is costing 45 lakhs. Government tax system is absurd

Wait until you ride it without the RPM limiter. I just got my M1000XR back after the break-in service and it's a ballistic missile now!

Where is the big kidney grill？😂 By the way, this bike is super cool‼︎

I have to admit I like the setup but not willing to spend that high. I noticed the bike has RS11 tires. These are basically track tires for the street. My 1290r came with S22 but I’ve been also running the RS11. The bike just turns better with them.

If it had hard luggage, i would have ordered one. I have about 100 000 kms in 4 years on my s1000xr, in daily year round commute, Brussels and Antwerp trafic

Beautiful bike, very expensive though, maybe if i had the money.

Could you do a review on the Kawasaki 1000sx?

👍

Very nice bike. Honestly I demoed the 2023 XR. it has about 170hp amazing power/acceleration/torque and amazing brakes. Issues: A little tall. I am 5"10 and I am not flat footed. Heat: engine produces too much heat and rider is not well shielded from it. seat had a ball shape I think 2024 they may removed it. Exhaust sound I don't like. It's not loud but it sounds weirdly metalic. and a bit of vibration at high rpm. But it's expensive compared to Japanese bikes. a 22k+ for a motorcycle come on. it's just a motorcycle not a toyota corolla lol Bikes are fun toys. 22k+ for a toy! come on!

How much difference in horsepower and torque does it have compared to the 1290 SAS?

Notice the wind turbines in the backround are not turning.

can someone test this thing on the track ?

Super Adventure bike! Or not…just admiring the scenic views of your ride. Very jealous, no matter what bike you’re reviewing. 👍🤪🏳️‍🌈

Riding this bike on these narrow roads is like flying a combat-helicopter in the livingroom🫣 I guess you are too afraid to open the throttle on a better road😅

I can't believe with all that carbon it doesn't come with a radiator and oil cooler guard as standard 7:09. If I was buying one of these I would want that fitted before I left the showroom.

32k 😮 crazy price

They should retire the boxer and put this engine in the next generation of GS/GSAs.

I want to be that 70-year-old doing ludicrous speeds on an M XR on the Autobahn.

I don't get the logic of making rear lights even more difficult to see on an already difficult to notice vehicle like a motorcycle.

ride angle looks good on camera with that power -- nice to know you can if you want ..... // never done an M3 bike did the m3 car - that was a bit ferocious and I drove porsches - very sensitive road feeling like felt everything ... no doubt bike similar ....... nice vid .. tick // ....... worse bike drove CP 250cc lambretta -- fastest death trap ever built in europe ... italians are mad ... -------- unless dry perfect roads ..... never again .... //

It's so fast it must come with a quickshifter. 😂😂

hm idk looks like the rev limiter is still in place...would have been a better review if you could have given it the beans, at least on the autobahn.

It's too bad BMW hasn't figured out how to dampen the vibration. Every review mentions the vibes and how that would detract from using it for touring. I really would consider it provided the vibes would be tamed so you could have a performance tourer. So far the Pikes Peak wins.

Question, when you were comparing the BMW with the Ducati V4's, why do they all have the same side profile and look very similar? It might be fast but it is also ugly and doesn't look like a BMW in my mind.

இதெல்லாம் ஒரு bike ha என்னோட ஸ்பிலண்டர் + போல வருமா..😅😅

The standard S1000XR was too fast for me. I sold it and went with an old guy R1200R.

The V4s are only slightly faster though lol

Touring bike for sport bike riders

32 grand.....stupid money for bikes these days

The triumph tiger sport 1050 is easily the more realistic bike in that category It matters not that the bmw has more power and it’s too big physically and stupid price

As a BMW fanboy, I feel ashamed a bit that there is no huge improvements on technology in compairson to hondas Automatic DCT and eClutch technologies...

Is this bike classified as an adventure or sport bike?

Who’s aimed at , yeah it’s fast .. but you will never used the 200bhp on that style of bike .

Yes, that bike is way too fast for those little narrow crappy roads you were on 😆

Disappointing that all this time and BMW can’t get rid of the horrible hand numbing vibrations of the XR.

Makes no sense without luggage. Sports tourer without the touring.

Too bad that BMW was cheap in how they made the transmissions for this bike.. Very UN BMW like.. but yet, here we are. Bad clutches and cracking cases.. resulting in wheel drop because the trans case is part of the frame.

I don't understand the market/need for a comfort/touring bike with a sport derived engine and comfort (high-rise bars) ergonomics. I used to ride sport bikes R6, CBR1000RR, then moved on to a combo of a touring bike (R1250GSA) and a scooter (T-max). Sport touring bikes are useless, they can handle high speeds but with the way the bike is designed - the turbulence at speeds over 200km/h make them totally unrideable for 1-2hours+, meaning - the speed is wasted on this type of bikes. Not to mention fuel consumption etc with usually is X2 vs normal touring bikes like the GS/GSA and the likes. S1000RR is amazing, Ducati V4S etc... (regular supersport bikes) have their place. The BMW R1*** GS/A, KTM's super adv etc - have their place. These weird abominations so called sport-touring are simply oversatuation of the market. Just IMO.

Except it will grenade itself at any time….

To fast for roads, maybe legally

The graphics is just horrendous

Disagree not a good looking bike. bmw should drop graphics,just paint single or dual paint would look better.

Gorgeous bike..? This must be the ugliest BMW they ever made!

Definitely the fastest up the ramp when the gearbox falls out of it.rubbish

Overpriced garbage. Won’t last like a Yamaha half the cost.

A beautiful day" except for these ungodly and FUGLY windmills killing birds and creating noise and un-disposable rubbish!!!!What a shame!!!!!!!
