If you’re stopped at a gas station with a keyed bike, you’re not pulling the key out of your pocket, you’re pulling it out of the ignition and moving it down 6 inches to the gas cap…

Brilliant insight into the great features of the S1000XR 2020.. Real world ownership reviews are absolutely invaluable for potential buyers... Superb video and sound quality... Great channel and vlogs...

Picked up my new XR yesterday, love it!

Hey, thanks for the great video, I’m considering the XR as my next bike having had an older model as a loaner for a couple of weeks. The new one seems much improved. On the subject of cruise control, I live in Scotland where temperatures drop sharply in winter (single digit Celsius is here already) and I have never had an issue with cruise control with any of my past (or current) bikes, and I’ve had 3 from BMW, a 1200GS Triple Black, a 1200RT Special Anniversary Edition, and a K1600GT Sport. The cruise control function is the same on all of them, so yours should be fine. Looking forward to your next video, keep it shiny side up !

Cool features. I have not rode a motorcycle in over 20 years, they have gotten pretty fancy and NICE! Glad to see you are wearing your gear too! New friend and supporter here!

Great video brother, ... and what a nice bike!! Motorcycles have come a long way in the last 30 years. I also subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of your content. Have a great evening.

Another quality video thank you.

Love the gas cap idea, the self cancelling signals, I leave mine on all the time. Very nice bike Mate, thank you for sharing and take care.

Thank God I will buy one for myself

Hey man good vids keep it up got my sub.

great video cant wait to test ride one. might switch from my 1260S

Beautiful bike, and nice video.

About self-cancelled turn indicators, absolutely agree, old phobia gone off, new one appears) On my f850gs there is no dashboard mode with cornering information, cool feature! QS on my 850 is a bit rough, but on big GS it is like you try to quickshift on tractor.

All well expressed man thumbs up

My interest in this bike has been growing. Brought me here. Awesome review. How is the mpg? Also, how is the break in? Is it limited at first? Or just break it in like a Japanese bike? Also. Do you have a video about the gps? I’m coming from a MT10 and a Harley. But I want something with power and sporty touring. Something that I can put some miles on.

i like your s1000xr, i think its a rad machine amd definitely no slouch with the s1000 motor in it. super smooth it seems, and cruise control equipped. not certain if the future machine im really lusting even has that, dang i hope it does. gsxs1000f

Nice video thanks for sharing, couldnt agree more, love my 2020XR except for the breaks recall. The scenery looks familiar, DC metro area? Ride safely.

sounds like your loving the new bike.

Subbed and notifications are on.

My tyre pressure readings on the TFT seem to missing, any ideas.

Do you have the tall seat or the standard one?

Thanks for the video. Good points. I don’t have the TFT or the quick shifter on my 750gs. I bought it used so I couldn’t get it on my bike. Would I miss them? no not at all. Do I want them? Yes definitely. I am very grateful that I have the cruise control and heated grip. One thing about the heated grip that’s wonders me, actually it’s not about the heated grip, it’s more about the users manual. Due to the users manual (at least the Swedish one for the 750gs) the first level is 25% the second is 50% and the third is 75%. Why isn’t the third mode 100%? Is there a fourth level ? Or if 75% is “full” effect what would 100% be? I totally understand that’s the percent is totally irrelevant. It could just as well be 28, 65 and 98% of what the heating elements in the grips are capable of. The 25, 50, 75% is too give the user a picture off the different levels . But in my head full effect should be 100% other wise I get a picture of that’s there’s should be a fourth level. It had been more correct to write lo, medium and high. This is of course not a problem an have nothing to do with the heated grips but I think it’s an interesting way of how they choose to describe it in the users manual 😊

I'm thinking of buying one, I did the ride test and felt two things, the handlebars were shaking slightly at 7000 rpm and the right mirror was out of focus. Do you have any of these problems?

Just taken delivery of a new S1000XR my number 1 not so obvious feature is the engine braking adjustment. Coming from a big twin being able to adjust it while I get used to my new ride has been great.

Self cancelling indicator is cancelling when you travel a specific distance not time as I remember it was 200 metres.

Nice bike mate mine got nothing like yours

Thumbs up catch you later

What is your best MPG on that monster ? Thank you !

I like those self-cancelling signals - I also have a bad habit of constantly checking to see if I turned mine off.

I have self canceling indicators on my ktm 1290SA as well, its really annoying, it keeps shutting off when im approaching an intersection. On the KTM its set to cancel after 150 meters, i really wish it was configurable.

Hi thanks for your reviews on the 1000XR, its a bike I'm considering. Whilst I need to get a test ride sorted, I do have a question. Can this bike cruise happily at about 60mph, approx 5-6000 rpms, without it "screaming' at you to go faster?

I also have keyless, even my ignition is keyless lol, although that does make my cap easily stolen if someome wants to lmao

Hey your top box is grey! Is that a repaint?

Some of the modern tech is great. I am still not a fan of keyless vs keyed ignition though

TBRD!😎Cool 👍 Return the favor and I also ride. A cruiser though cuz I am old and the muscle doesn't like sport bike.😁

Good afternoon sir. I am a fan of your videos enjoyed them very much so thank you. I live in Washington DC and would like to ride with you I also have to BMW XR. Love it. What is your Instagram sir ? Anyway have a good day and thank you. Daniel Sidzina #danielsidzina

Good morning, I haven't watched this yet, got up for water and noticed I had a new subscriber🤗 Figured I'd do a sub for a sub 😂 Looking forward to catching up on your content🤗😎🤗

Can I borrow this bike for a few miles :) I promise I will never return it:)
