The S1K absolutely NEEDS a map to unlock the bike. I dont know anyone who keeps it stock. Leaving it stock is like buying a new TV, keeping the plastic film on the screen, and complaining how terrible the screen performance is. Unlocked, the S1K shis all over every bike in his garage and all over that Aprillia and every other liter bike in its class.

The S1000RR needs a chip tune because it is criminally electronically restricted in the lower gears, particularly second. For example, in second gear, HP is down 50HP in the mid range vs the same bike with an ECU tune.

Ay, I have a BMW S1000rr (2022), I think it looks better than the 23. And a Ducati Panigale v2. And I enjoy the BMW in colder rides with the heated grips and cool gadgets. But the Panigale really just have that personality. RSV4 was a good choice and is a beautiful bike too.

I test rode a 23 S1000RR recently and was shocked at how underwhelming it was. Poor grunt, terrible muffled sound, lacked grin factor. Around the racetrack they are brilliant, so easy. But as a road bike, very disappointing stock I found. Congrats on the new bike. I'm looking fwd to see how you get on with it as the RSV is on my shortlist for my next bike.

For the road just buy a KTM/Husqvarna/GasGas Supermoto. 693cc single cylinder grunt. Pulls out of corners and traffic lights nicely. Wheelies, endos, skids, jumping speed bumbs, riding up and down stairs... any silly sh!t you want to do, it does.❤ And it's fast enough to pass traffic and easily brake all the speed limits. It's a Supermoto so it handless rough tarmac with ease. Light and nimble. Rode Sport bikes for 2 decades. Supermotos are way more fun.

@a20rsx I disagree my 23 S1K feels super strong down low. Especially after a flash and stage 2 tune. Can't keep the front end down without wheelie control. I know your probably thinking I'm a beamer fan boy. But I've ridden and owned loads of bikes over 25 years of riding. From 600rr to ZX12R. I'm not knocking that RSV4 at all. I know they are absolute monsters and are stronger than the S1K's no doubt, but for me they are a very close second. At least the two k67's I've owned. At some point, you gotta find a mate with a tuned S1K and give them another chance. Cheers 🍻

Strange i have always felt that the bmws.pull from.as low as 28mph in 6th gear a r1 and a ktm need to be in 2nd.. who buys a 1000cc sports bike to ride at 4000 rpm ? I had a cbr1000rr 05 and below 8k it was shit slow. The gen 1/2 bmw were dead below 7k this new one with shift cam pulls really well low down. Rpms. You cant really have power low down and up top this is why shift cam was designed to give best of both worlds.
@Yamaprilia9 ай бұрын
I agree it will pull top gear from low rpms and that is only possible because it has low torque at low rpms. Bikes with high torque at low rpms shudder and shake the chain like crazy. If you ride on the road in the UK you will find you are at 4000 rpm or less very often. Every time you go to pull away at every junction, petrol station, bike shop etc.... Shift cam actually gives s1000rr top end with s1000r midrange. But you are right the sacrafice with bmws high top end is no low end torque. Aprilia and Ducati have it all. High torque at all rpms along with high bhp and high revs too. V4 is the way.
