Don't you mean wheelie control?

@@SportbikerNZ in the settings it’s just tc to turn on or off , then there’s the different modes dynamic & dynamic pro etc

Yeah, ma nuts aren't big enough to hit launch control...fuck that

If he just controlled the bike with a little bite on the clutch and brakes it would set off the line much faster...

Tbf going by the launch it looked a bit iffy, it’s not the easiest bike to launch, it’s take a lot of getting used to.

Realy WTF! Meoow! That's why I love my cat, sounds like a motorbike.

A very happy dyno. This BMW is about 190-193hp to the rear wheel with full exhaust.

@@sarunassurvila7857correct as mine has full titanium stock air filter and remap and it made 195 at rear wheel

thats just rider error. the bike will easily do 0-60 in the low to sub 3 second range with proper tires and a rider that knows how to launch it. if this guy was getting o-60 in 4.5 seconds then hes doing something wrong because my 01 SV650S is faster than that.

Sauce?

That dyno guy has no idea either!!! 184 at the rear wheel?? Its been consistently getting 202-207 hp at the rear wheel😂👍

@@andyp9040 If it was a different brand that would have been a reasonable guess... I AM a bit surprised that he didn't know BMW do this. If I buy a Ducati (my fanboi brand) and they say (202hp) I expect them to be 180-185 at the rear wheel... same for most other brands - but not BMW... they always underrate.

I was a bit dissapointed by this review between the dyno guy not knowing much about the bike and poor performance testing by michael mann it wasnt a good review👍

Go figure, its Euro 5 emissions but the USA bikes suffer.

Great question! If they didn't do a re-flash or failing that, put a whole bunch of miles on it after the install, if that might explain the slow 0-60?

Gsxr 1000 actually is wheel to wheel wit the bmw due to the torque curve of the gsxr 1000 even though the gixxer doesnt make the hp that the bmw does

@@clutchshot247 the bmw and the gixxer are also geared way lower than the zx 10 rr . the gixxer and Beemer 45 r 17f the zx 10 rr is 39 r 17 r. Big difference

@@christopheralonge7758 but check gear ratios zx10rr comes out to be close to gixxer when all said n done

@@clutchshot247 as I said. Bmw and gixxer 17f 45 r. Zx10r r. 17f 39 r. Google it

@@christopheralonge7758 i kno what u said bout sprocket sizes, but im saying bout gear ratios in transmission itself...

It’s not actually required as the bike runs wide band sensors, to get the absolute most out of it a map would be ideal but without one it’s perfectly fine.

Fiery Fugitive Race Pro 1 - launch control will only work in that mode.

Eh dont use launch control then bennetts😂👍

cantfindanamefree your golf has four wheels - it’s tricky trying to lay +200bhp down through the rear wheel!

@@bennettsbikesocial i have an r1m too 😉 I'm saying from my own experience launch control is not good on a bike. I've had 3 bikes with launch control and all were slower 1/4 on

cantfindanamefree I wish we had more time on that day to either record more runs both with and without launch control. Alas it was tough enough to get everything done in one day... and film it all too.

Bennetts turn the launch control off! Youre embarrassing yourselves. Il get that bike well below 4.5secs😂 amateurs👍👏🏻

Whaha i wouldnt want to be seen in a golf

Greatest all around sportbike ever made. Long live the zx 14r

@@christopheralonge7758 I really wish it would. But I hate to say the 2020 ZX-14R may be the last one made. 😩👎😱🙄. Kawasaki is really screwing up by getting rid of the ZX-14R,

2021 fixes dead spot

Fake video. The bike is 183 hp max. to the wheel with the stock exhaust.

There are lots of variables affecting dyno numbers including individual dyno machines themselves. It’s not an exact science

@@sarunassurvila7857 no its not fake, these bikes consistently make 190-195 rwhp stock

BMW always quote BHP at the wheel … I’m lucky to have a 2021 M Sport it’s an amazing machine and the power being stated is genuine , I’ve had an SP Blade , Aprilia RSV 4 factory, 2 F4 MV Augusta’s and this bike has so much more power.

haviii the lego gunner the Corvette gets 0-60 in under 3 supposedly. I agree, this is ridiculous for a liter bike. Maybe had traction control on the highest setting?

@Hugh Jaanus the first dyno you mentioned is more like a true measurements

Alex Miller It’s an art form and I tend to agree about not using and being faster but there’s a huge amount of power and torque on tap with the BMW.

Again a decent rider wouldnt have this problem- its all well and good michael sporting a £2k suit but if he cant ride a bike properly get someone else who can #allthegearnoidea

RH 85\G Why so negative? Can’t you embrace the video and it’s content as a form of entertainment with real life accurate evidence, not just a target to mock?

@@bennettsbikesocial I wasn't trying to come across as negative, I think you make some amazing content Michael but to go to all the time and effort of getting the new flagship model to a air field with the correct data equipment to get accurate times, and then come away with those times is a bit of a joke, If you were just doing it as a bit of fun id understand but 4.5 seconds to 60 really? did you not think that was a bit poor and want to retry, maybe without launch control etc? not mocking i realise a lot of time, effort and money goes into these videos but maybe just something to take forward into future videos that you need to take into account the riders ability and if something isn't performing as you think it should ask why and fix it rather than just putting the video out and wondering why people are critical of it, if id just spent £20+k on my new flagship bmw and found it does 0-60 slower than a old street triple id be a bit miffed aswell.

@@bennettsbikesocial I agree MM, its a comparison not a ' WSB max performance test'

RH 85\G I think he’s just saying that the bike should be able to hit those speeds faster given the hp numbers. I was as surprised being that my little zx6r was tested to do 0-60 in 3.1 sec.

It is absolutely worth. Why buy an expensive bike only to cheap out on mods?

@@VASILLEVSKI1878 I beg to differ. 99% can barely ride this bike beyond 10% of its ability so yes, a full exhaust is a complete waste of dosh. Better off spending that paper on better gear and signing up for a racing course(s) to improve one's skillset as opposed to making the bike quicker in the mid

plus mods add zero resale value

Nope. We did three speed runs in the morning with the standard exhaust, then three in the afternoon with the Akrapovic system. There was nothing done to the mapping, the BMW is a very clever machine which works out the air/fuel ratio itself. Have a read of the full review on the BikeSocial website, link is in the description.

afraid not son, see the new 44 Teeth comparison, S1000RR wins even down 100 cc

Pedro Rezende that’s my point mate

Just goes to show for an average rider a lot of power is difficult to manage. A SV650 is faster than that 0-60 too and I'd bet for most people most of the time would be faster off the line in the real world just because the power is manageable.

1st huh? Your life must really suck.

in Europe where UK is located, the Model Year is 2019.

i hate leathers ...

launch is all in the skill of the rider, the hp figures over 190 rwhp are well verified
