Sounds awesome for a stock exhaust !

Wow.. your last sentence was extremely true and poetic. Not only regarding to the bike, but to everything. RJ is a real philosopher! :D

Officer: Do you know how fast were you going? Me: Erhh... about RJ mph... :|

For you perfection is boring for others who want and need only one bad ass motorcycle in there lives the s1000xr is perfection.

Wow, that look's a lot more manoeuvrable than the S1000R. Sounds like the perfect all year commuter & tourer :)

Perfection is … kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fal1fKuDtNy0foE.html

I think this is the most I've ever heard you talk... You have a beautiful voice RJ!

I might one day agree with you, but for now, I am not yet bored of the perfection.

Covering up your speed and revving at a beautiful girl, naughty RJ

I gotta say I'm one of the people that really like the looks of it! It may help that I'm young (19), but it looks clean, sleek, and sporty to me. It looks like an amazing and comfortable ride, and I love the pops and crackles of the stock exhaust. I would seriously consider this as a second bike once I get my first which, of course, has to be a supersport!

Rode it today whilst my bike was in for a service. Out for 2 hours on all road types including town filtering, it's bloody epic. I can't see the point of the R now, it does everything brilliantly, I was keeping a very brisk pace and never felt close to getting outside my comfort zone, such an easy bike to ride fast.

@09:47 That was exactly what I got from the S1000RR and people thought I was nuts. They dialled out any kind of character from it. It was unchallenging. I got the impression that I could get off and the bike would carry on up the road by itself and park up back at the dealer :D They'd make a great (safe) step up for someone to their 1st litre bike, but it won't teach them anything.

You certainly know how to ride a motorcycle Sir. Brilliant vlog young man . Well done

Brilliant words of wisdom Rj. “Perfection is boring”.

Next vid please wear a eyepatch and say "RR" again 😜 #PirateJordanian 

My 2018 is now 5 years old. Still grinning, every time I take off on the XR. Just turn 8500 miles.❤

LOVE that ending, "Perfection is boring" while looking at the RR.

"Perffection is boring" SO TRUE, you are a poet RJ! I think the same whit the R35, if a computer drives for you, its not the same, its no fun...

That stock exhaust crackle is NICE.

That Chrome car THO! I couldn't tell if it was an Aston Martin or a Jag.

"perfection is boring" how eloquent. Nice vid RJ

Appreciate the upload RJ. I was trying to decide between this bike and the 2015 Multistrada and bought the Multistrada after a 30 minute test drive on both bikes and bought the Multistrada in the show room the same day and rode the Multistada 3600 KM / 2237 Miles home.

Your comment at the end, "Perfection is boring" is a great line and I almost agree. I have to keep my street triple as well because it has something that the xr doesn't. Partly its because its so unassuming, where as the xr is VERY assuming. I wish I could put it into words as well. The xr does everything except give you the very very biggest of smiles, that's where the street triple comes in.

Im really tossing up between this and a GS for a touring bike to compliment my HP4. I really need to find the time to get out to a dealer and ride one and a GS on the same day.

what a sound !

2:02 I noticed the initials. ;-)

Exhausted sound so cool :)

Very nice video RJ !! This bike is beautiful and her sound too !! Excellent !! V

Thanks for the great review on the Bike. Looks like it has the ability to add saddle bags too for the travelers in the motorcycle community.

Liked the sneaky little "RJ" on the dash @ 0:35

Fenomeno RJ! Non male questo S1000XR!:)

Beautiful bike, wouldn't mind getting one for myself...

Great looking bike hey!

Hi RJ, Thank you very much for posting this review... In due course I'll test the XR against the multistrada.

7:15 considering the turning circle and higher position, is it a better bike for filtering than the s1000r? I know it's heavier, but the turning circle seems to be smaller, isn't it?

I'm going to work for BMW next week so hopefully be able to ride this bike and see what it's like.

Good honest thoughts about this bike RJ, I do prefer bikes to feel special and that I'm actually riding it. :)

5:32 - Honda CB 600F Hornet!

I like the look's, might be something i look in to in the future.

Love my 2018 XR .....

Great review Royal Jordanian! We thought ours was cracking too.

Amazing bike, I did a test ride on it yesterday and I loved the power, handling and the comfy seat, it is so easy to ride. The only thing putting me off is the too much vibration I was getting on the right hand side handle bar, not sure whether it was that bike or it is a known issue.

R RR XR R RR XR R RR . The new BMW RJ !!!

Wow didn't see that conclusion coming!

If I ever come to london, I'm definetly buying an XR

Yup. I spotted the 'RJ' that appeared on the dash from 0:18 and onwards. Nice touch baby.

Rj you deserve a milion subs

I love the random RJ that pops up.lol good on you man

Yeah what a great bike man, look awesome must be a ton of fun! -Little

Was it the entrance to richmond park? Enjoyed it so much during my only week of riding. Unfortunately wasnt riding such a beaut machine(

Thanks for that RJ. Tried the R1200RS which fills the same niche as the XR with boxer twin and shaft drive. Too lairy. My 2015 R1200R isn't the fastest. Handles brilliantly and comfy. But is also fun, which is why we ride.

Gorgeous bike!

Awesome bike

Nice bike, very nice!

RJ wasn't that a speed camera at 6:00 minutes, the grey one?

Was that stock exhaust? Was that backfire caused by the auto blip qs/down?

RJ did you take this out to Waltham Cross outside Enfield at any point? Saw one riding around there last week.

Kind of remind me of the ''fact'' that we like people for their quality but we love them for their defects ;)

yeah baron loved it too

Hope one day I get one...😐

I was in London yesterday was so hoping to see you but I didn't ;(

Thank you for the great video. I would like to request a review of the BMW R1200RS if possible. Your review videos are some of my favorites :)

better than Tracer? you did a very good job on this video, loved the way you end it

As soon as a I get a decent income together im going to buy a BMW. I love them, they nail that style and feel and not much work needs to be done if your a simple guy like me, that exhaust sounded nice, quite yet had enough to it that you could let people know your around. I might look into this model or a future version of the S1000 or ill go with something else from BMW. New bikes seem to be coming out every year, it might take me that long to get the money together for a new bike... I'll be upgrading from a CFMoto Leader 150cc. CFMoto are another company that I like, they are new but making a big show here in Australia, I have their full range at my local bike shop 5 minutes from my house.

Loved this video! Great thoughts on the bike

Was this yesterday RJ, and were you in Oxford Street/Picadilly circus around 4pm - 5pm?

Being that you enjoyed the riding position of the bike, I wonder if you might enjoy the raspy, lusty twin of the Multistrada a bit more maybe? I for one would enjoy seeing you test ride a new 2015 Multi. Great video as always RJ!

Well Said Sir !!! The XR looks great, IMO, and from Reviews it is Great...tho, also... It may make someone feel like they're "Driving" an M3 vs. "Riding" One !!! ;)

@RoyalJordanian - so regarding your final thoughts. If you were to choose 1 bike for all purposes : S1000xr or K1600?

Is there a chance you can do a test ride of the MT-09? I'd really want to know your opinion on that bike! :)

Awsome bike

I saw BaronVonGrumble ride this and it looks and handles amzingly

Is your speedo in miles or kilometers? Because to me it doesn't look like you drive 100km/h (60mp/h)

Really lovin' the "RJ" on the speedo :D

What u think RJ,BMW s1000xr or ducati multistrada !🤔

Ahh the Traditional Throttle Flirt, gotta love it :)

Thank you RJ

Is this the stock exhaust or a custom one?

video quality is very good. what camera you were using for the shoot?

seems super smooth

I want an RJ T-SHIRT with the "Perfection is boring" Cit. Please 🤗

The XR is a good bike 😂. I love mine. Not boring though.

Saw one of these at South Ealing yesterday looks the part

Can be this bike a tough rival of Multistrada 1200?? Edit: sorry in advance if RJ said something about the Multiestrada, didn't get it, I'm not an English native speaker.

Epic! Thank you RJ.

what field of view setting do you use?

NIce to see your video and opinion on this bike, RJ. While a number of reviewers have done this bike and raved about it, it does seem to split opinions. The looks are controversial to say the least - I don't like it at all, reminds me of the older V-Strom - and the price is typical BMW, but I personally just can't find myself liking this bike.

Hey +RoyalJordanian did you test drive the new Multistrada dvt? what do you think about that? waiting for a review from you )

Could you do a video on the muiltistrada

Great vid as always - I love that bike and will have to add it to my never ending bike shopping list - once I move house :)

RJ must be putting his man sweat in these stock exhausts to make them sound so good XD.

Best ending statement!

how do you have effectively no wind noise at all? my gopro sounds like im going 500 mph constantly

That's a stunning sounding bike like its rr brother. I prefer the look of the RR though but I wouldn't mind if this was on my driveway ;)

Very well said.

Last words were beautiful :) !

Perfection is boring. Love it.

Did you say you were at Torquay, if so looks beautiful do it.

Hello, i dont ride big bikes like this, but does anyone know if he is switching gear without clutch?

What do you make of the vibrations on the handlebars and pegs?
