Thanks Hector! Yeah i just wanted to give a real life perpective as i use it as an everyday commuter.

Thanks! And i do think so too. People buy Lamborghinis and daily drive them. This is kinda the same thing 🙂

Thanks!

I had zero issues with the bike. Bought it brand new, drove 30,000km with no issues at all. In my view, the S1000RR is the best bang for you buck. And by a long way.

Just picked up my 2017 this past weekend, I love it already. Thanks for the reply man

I've done a 4200km road trip on it and it took 4 days and honestly it wasn't too bad. I was able to get a comfortable position when riding +1000km in a day. And i'm 187cm tall, so not the shortest and i had even the lower windscreen on the bike, but in my view it wasn't too bad. But of course you do get a bit of soreness when riding for that long, so it would be more comfortable in a car 😁 The seat on the bike is plush and wide and when riding +100km/h, the wind lightens the weight on your arms a lot. And i just sat as far back on the seat as possible, so my ass wouldn't get sore. Plus this has cruise control so you can rest you arms. And as i rode it as a daily commute, i never really complained about getting tired of riding it, no matter if it was in the city in traffic, on highways or twisty roads.

Oh man, glad you are ok. But yeah, it works in every situation 🙂

@@SeeMeRiding now I'm tossing between new s1rr or old one.

@@BMWF900R get the new one 😃

@@BMWF900R get the old one. I had a 2018 one sold it, now I had a testride on the new one. It was way more cramped than the old one and the seating position got worse... didn't like the way, the engine felt either and the throttle response was odd. I tested all 3 modes. Now I am back to a 2018 one

Hey guys I’m from the uk and wondering if a s1k would last through all year round or would if just die on me in three years for using it too much 😂

In 2015 quite a lot changed. New look, better electronics, up and down quickshifter, cruise control, more torque and few other small things. I haven't ridden the older RR so can't really say too much on how much different it feels. But from what i've heard, the older gen is a great bike as well.

Well i sold my bike, but i did 30,000km in total. And the reference you did is quite accurate. That was one of the reasons i sold my bike now instead of 10,000 - 20,000km later. And tbh, you don't need to worry about mileage too much. Just like with cars, just service it regularly and you will be fine. At some point you have to do bigger changes in the engine and elsewhere as nothing lasts forever. But yeah in short, service the bike regularly and you'll be fine.

In my view, naked bikes are worse for long distances because you sit upright and all the wind blows on your upper body. Sports bike is way better for long distance in my view. Also depends on the bike itself, a lot of sports bikes have different seating positions.

@@SeeMeRiding i have my eyes on yamaha r3 or ktm rc 390 ones. alternate is the duke series of ktm love the cbr series of honda but they are discontinued what you think?

@@everengaged9370 Hard to say which one to go with. I have never ridden these sized bikes. If possible, go test ride all of them. Helps a lot with the desicion

there's definitely better bikes to get if you just want to daily. why not just getting a lower cc motorcycle if you don't plan on going insane speeds. liter bikes like the 1krr can touch 100mph in first gear, not to mention are really expensive. just get a lower displacement bike and save yourself 10 grand. as for a first bike, liter bikes require a lot of restraint and care to be ridden safely. they are way to easy to give it too much beans and end up losing traction in a turn or looping. I have a feeling that this comment may be a joke but I'm writing this in the rare event you're serious. if you still want to keep that supersport type look you can always go for the likes of the ninja 400. Yamaha r3, cbr 500, or if you're desperate for that sweet inline 4 sound and big bike feel, you can go for something like a cbr 650r (what I'm currently saving up for) but still this bike is a little more on the powerful side for a complete beginner

Depends. With this bike it will be the "easiest" in terms of sports bikes.

Honestly, never. I drove 30,000km and never ever had any issues.

Woah really good I have a question next year 2024 I'm planning to get yamaha r6 but I've been eyeing on the s1k I've been asking few s1k rider just how good for beginners like me my experience is 5 years or clutch moped and plenty of time on my friend r25 so what your opinion and your riding history also ,you buy it at a very young age did you have business or what and your first experience with the bike

@@dailydoseofanime2239 an r6 the clutch is a lot more forgiving than an s1k I think it’s better to get an r6 but if yk what ur doing then jump to a Beamer is fine. Also I do real estate with my mom she has her own company that’s why I can afford one at 17. My experience with the bike is that it’s comfortable the bike isn’t that heavy I wouldn’t say it’s light as well and overall it’s a really great bike u can still enjoy on it not like an r1 I tried riding it the throttle is very responsive and sensitive. That’s all I have for u :)

Nice 😎

I use 98 octane. Found in most European petrol stations

@@SeeMeRiding Thank you sir

Hey, sorry for late response, but i don't think you will have any issues at all. 12km one-way is very little. Unless you have back problems then maybe yes, but if not, you will never have any issues in my view. I just did a 4200km road trip with this bike and only thing that hurt was my ass 🤣

I’ve got a yzf 125 that I use on the daily’s and it’s amazing couldn’t fault it.

Faruk might feel little uneasy initially but u will soon get used to it.any way congrats on your first bike brother(considering u bought one)🎉🎉

Faruk I’m 18 I’m starting on an S1000RR

Cristiano Ronaldo u trippin

well then it's not too great, but you get the point of the video right?

I drive my bike in to December here in Sweden ( a naked though) when it's 3 Celsius I take my car. 😊

I did 30,000km in total before i sold it. Bought it brand new 🙂

@@SeeMeRiding That's really impressive, especially the journey from Spain to Finland

@@SeeMeRiding What are you riding now?

@@windyrun7979 At the moment i don't have a bike. For summer gonna be getting something for sure!

I get the point, but all i can advise to do with a bike like this is use common sense. Don't go full Ghostrider in a city or where there are a lot of people. Choose the locations where you drive faster. I did 30,000km in this bike, without being pulled over, not even once. I always choose my locations where i drove faster. And if a car comes towards me, i always slowed down so no one will get mad and call the cops.

don't pull over

Would recommend to go on a test drive with both to see which one you prefer. I'm personally more into sports bike. The looks are better and it just feels more cooler to ride them 🙂

@@SeeMeRiding I'm more learning towards sport bikes because of those very reasons too haha, but it's kinda hard finding a dealer that allows people to test ride here in Jakarta

I usually got around 6-8L/100km depending how i was riding. If just riding on the motorway, it was under 6L, but riding in the city was around 8L

Marbella, Spain

Sure and i will be getting one alongside a bike at some point, but for now i just gotta stick with a bike 🙂 Been driving my friends BMW E92 M3 for a bit and really want one myself. Let's see what the future brings 😎
