So the big question is - what to I do with it next!

Being able to ride a brand new expensive bike that's already been laid down is a dream. No worries about scratches or dings and can ride the wheels off it. More RR content please!

Baron. Any new video from this channel is and will always be VERY well received.

Chris, I'd say keep it stock and just ride the hell out of it. Would love to see regular updates just with daily use, real world stuff. Hope to catch you at caffeine and machine on my R1 too! 👍

No way Baron! I acquired my 2020 BMW S1000RR in exactly the same way six months ago! The bike had a trackday, took a fall, and found itself in the gravel, but in my case, it was on the left side. The previous owner simply couldn't be bothered to repair the bike. Resulting in significant savings for me, landed the purchase at 3-4K below the average price in the used market (in the Netherlands). The only necessary fix was minor (O-ring leak from the output shaft). only repairs after that were: the rearsets, grips, bar ends and shift lever, alongside the fairing repairs. also kept the little marks on the swing arm and frame. It is only noticeable if you basically look for it. My opinion on what you should do: Keep it and use it. I'm going to do the same. it is a bike that i dreamed of owning. going to "Picos de Europa" Spain in September for my first Europe tour. Can't wait!

0:48 Definitely the son of the father... 🤣

Top buy Chris..looking forward to seeing her all done up! ❤️

I really enjoy watching this sort of content from you Chris, it's so satisfying to watch - can remember the Gen1videos of you riding around ranting and raving on your way to work, not to mention the hp4 rebuild you/Bahnstormer did..!

Great to see some new videos, watching your adventures has helped me in bad times. Be kind to yourself 👍

Mega, loved the video and think you've made a very sensible purchase here. Can't wait to see how this develops!

Yes, just keep it, enjoy it and do plenty of content with it. It's nice to have the same bike for a few years and we can all share your experiences with it.

Reminds me of the Gixxer that you had, on your solo trip to Spain all those years ago. Keep it and enjoy the feeling of stress free ownership

I have been earning a living out of this kind of stuff since 2006, it's the best way I know of getting your biking kicks for free. Just fixed an old Triumph Trophy and the only expence was 25 quid to the DVLA for a V5 and it's going to need a new battery. Its drying off next to my MV F4, 996 and 750SS at the moment.

Awesome project! Look forward to following this 😎

So nice to see you making videos again! Keep it, ride it, have fun with it! It is an incredible bike! I know I would ;-)

Totally understand the whole stress free riding thing. I rode a 2000 zx9r for about 10 years come rain or shine and thoroughly enjoyed it as it was already 'used' Now that’s a track bike and I’m on new stuff (Speed Triple 1200 followed by a Speed Twin 1200) and I find myself triple checking the weather for any chance of rain, getting all pissy if I ride through a puddle and losing my head if I find a stone chip anywhere! It’s exhausting, and it means I ride a lot less 😕 Great content as always Baron 👍

Wicked job Chris, very satisfying video. Enjoy the beast

So good to see you vlog. Just went to rewatch your big tour through Europe. You are looking much better and happier!

Keep it and do some bigger trips on it. Such a nice bike, the little rebuild really turned out awesome. I love those kind of videos

Happy days mate looks great, reminds me of the damaged HP4 purchase, same vibes, loved it.

Lucky find Chris! I've been looking for one in this condition, to fix up also. I think you just enjoy it, and like you said, its had its trauma already (and you didn't do it!) so just ride it around and enjoy!!!

A lucky find Chris, well fixed. As previously said, just ride it for years to come and enjoy it..!! If I’d the spare cash I’d take this off your hands……awesome tool. Stay safe.

Always a huge fan of your bike videos , finding you last year watching you on this channel and the other fixing bikes and repairing them inspired me . This is my goal start of small old bikes and build up . I have an addiction now and currently working on a 99 tl1000r, a 97 CBR900 , and a 91 zxr750 (barn find never had a UK MOT) only did its first miles then stored and never moved 😮😮😮😮

Yes Baron Von Bimmer! Thanks for the upload x

Do another multi-day ride through Spain like the good-ol days. Very fond of those, got me into riding and ended up becoming an instructor and made some great memories along the way.😊

Would watch you painting a wall Chris. Great to see you and your young lad having a laugh!

Anodized blue rear sets?? Get ya rat out chrissy 😂

Dude, watched a bunch of your videos this morning. You totally crack me up. Sub'd!

Can't even tell it's been crashed. Always good to see another Baron video pop up.

Good dealership vines of Guildford came down from Yorkshire to them to get a bike as they do price fairly. Good job on the Bike Baron, looks and sounds sweet

KEEP IT, USE IT AND ENJOY YOUR PURCHASE!! love the channel!!

Welcome back, Chris. I missed your face! Thanks for the few extra stickers in my order you sent to the USA.

Mini Baron seems like a future rider! No doubt about it. Great kid you got there C!

Such an incredible bike, just enjoy it! I tuned mine and transformed it completely. Do that, and you'll never want to sell it.

Starting to get a beautiful collection going there.. keep it and add it to them... do the usual exhaust, tune, etc and stick it in the fleet...

Customizing it would be great. Id love to see that. ❤. Entertaining video as always! Relaxing slow tv content!

The old railway tunnel just east of Meon Hut crossroads.. I used to down shift my 748 there just for the sound. Epic road. The A272 is heaven for cars, bikes and bicycles.

A near new RR Lego project 😊 fun + a wicked machine afterwards! It’s got a bit of stormtrooper look about it… especially with those fresh gloves too..

I’m picking up a 2022 S1000RR Saturday I can’t wait but you are very lucky to be in the position to get offers that one might see you at loomies or the other cafe n machine first I’d heard of it might be worth the average speed cameras near by 👍🏻

Nice work! Never know buying a wrecked bike but it worked out great for you !

Absolutely gorgeous bike 🤩

Keeeeeeeeep it, throw an exhaust on it! Stunning machine, would love to see you tour Europe on it! Just like the old days

Fantastic video. Ride it use it . Bring back the Barron chatting random stuff on rides out

I stumbled across your video randomly as it was in my feed and you picked the bike up from same place I picked up my 23 S1000RR back in April when it got delivered, vines in Guildford haha. Small world I guess.

What a brilliant day and my panties have been wet since morninig when Al published his Suzi-8 review. And to come home to a Chris-BMW-vid ...well it is time for a smoke and coffee. I must say it has been a bit sparse since your BBB Tour but i forgive you since you guys are still smashing it with generally big news. Happy Trails. ps: Still waiting for an Aprilia 457 or 399 Duke ripper.

Ive got the older style one bought a few months ago what an amazing bike! It is so bloody fast.....Bmw part prices are scary but guess they don't go wrong hoping!

Good to see the baron back on form on a great bmw 😊

Love this content, I picked up a gsxr 750 in similar condition, fixed it up and I’ve kept it for a road bike.

Oohhh Hello you guys...! Welcome back maannn....

Always good to see your face dad.

Nice work Chris, came up a treat! If you're not in love with it I reckon sell it and put the money into something you love, got to get out in the shed and fix my 09 Street Triple R I stacked over a year ago at a trackday, made my own muffler and got the rear sets, just need to pull the trigger on a new radiator so I can refit all the farings and indicators.

Smoking deal looking new. I pick up my 2024 s1000RR tomorrow but mine has the forged wheels.

This type of content from you is great to see. Make the bike baron spec then ride the piss out of it and make funny vids along the way. All the best 👍😎👍

Great job sorting out that bike mate

The right number of bikes is “one more”, so good one you👍

Would love to see you keep this bike and do literally everything you mentioned on it. Have had a 23 RR for a few months now so obviously im bias but...

Keep it and ride it as much as possible, enjoy it!!!!! 👍🏻😎

Great video and I think you should keep the bike and enjoy it.

Hi great vid. Without doubt keep her and as you say enjoy her for a while

I'd say this video was well received, good job sir!

I can only assume someone's significant other politely but firmly suggested they should "get ride of that bloody bike"

Wished I had the mechanical confidence to do something like this… love the RR, gutted I recently had to sell my 21 plate due to sciatica 🙁… bike looks mint and will be interesting too see where you go with this.

This is an awesome find, very jealous. Such a beauty, I’d love to find something like this to fix a few things and have her ready to go. I think a few smaller, very typical updates, a slip on, belly pan (the bmw cat bothers me), a tinted window screen, and use the hell out of it like it’s meant to be. Looking forward to seeing more of this, and the 996!

My thought is that this is a great idea for a long term series - ride it this season, commute/track days/touring what have you. And then sell it and find a new project for next season. Rinse, repeat.

Reminds me of the first time I dropped my bike, all of a sudden you get that relief of not being precious about it anymore.

Keep it. Then do the The Transfagarasan Highway. Nice long 10 part video would be amazing.

That washing montage was lit! 🤣

I am mega excited for C&M at West Meon! I would keep the RR as is and just use it for miles with smiles

I, for one, think you should go for that delicious paint scheme, youve nothing to lose. Just like the stress free ride of not worrying about its first drop or anything, you dont need to worry about "ruining" a new bike 🤷🏼‍♂️

First Chris, and now you... Seems everyone wants some of the crashed RR action! Can't blame you though, people are scared of bikes like these but if you know what you're doing, they can be awesome. Completely different planet, but I rebuilt a very similarly crashed bike (gen 1 SV) from Pembry. It's a frustrating, but rewarding process.

You are living "the dream" my friend

Ahhh. Them long white gloves on a white bike. Looking beautiful Keep the bike stock (ish) and travel Europe. So dope seeing people travel on racebikes

Looks like a very nice bike and rides like one too, they seem so smart these days, and by the way I liked the old Baron outro theme played at the end.

Chris , keep it , use it , do some mods on it for us , wizz it around some tracks as it was made to do and film all the adventures as you do them , carnt wait 👍

Love how this felt like an old style vlog

Keep it and enjoy the hell out of it! Do trackdays, tour on it.

How you pick up a perfect spanking S1000RR just because the opportunity arises makes me happy :D

The video was received very well Chris 🤛

Nice😎 Top quality machine for a fraction of the cost. My dream daily.

Great bike mate, don’t bank the cash just use it and enjoy it 👍🏻

Keep it as is, and ride and enjoy it!

Keep it baron and just have fun racking up the miles shes a beast 👍

At a good price I would have bought that instantly. Only cosmetic!!! Great, Well done

This reminds me of the old crashed & repaired hp4 carbon videos 👍👍

As we say in Thailand, ''Up to you''. Looks mint and structurally checked by Vines. If it was me, I would sell when I found another project......Projects are good therapy...Cheers

A win win I reckon Baron 👍🏻

a few replacement parts and a nice detail and that thing is ready to go

Great news on Caffeine & Machine at Meon Hut. On the bike Chris, I dunno! Maybe keep it and ride the b’jeezus out of it, but depends on whether you have time to vs your other bikes, projects etc.

A new Baron video. My week has been made! :D

Absolutely stunning machine! 😎

I really like when Baron has a super bike to make content on, so I am in favor of you keeping it! Or selling it and getting a new project superbike! Maybe some travel content this summer?

I think the fix is better than the buzz of keeping it I’d love to repair things and bring them back to former glory and then move to next project but space and money I don’t have enough of unfortunately! But keep it up it’s good content just need more in depth filming which I know isn’t easy

Perfect Bike to do some fancy stuff with it. I say keep the old lady and make something special out of her, she deserves it

Ideal track bike, relatively cheap for a modern super bike, no worries about it going down again.

She looks beautiful. Done well there. I was hoping for a step by step deep clean guide 😢

by far the quickest build series

I would like to suggest you ride it down to the first round of BSB at Navarro and after the trip you will know what to do with it. Rory might sign it for you😃

One extra bolt left over is mandatory on the first time assembling/reassembling. 😂😂👍👍

Amazing stuff as usual Chris. If you're not attached to the RR, I think maybe set a raffle thingy up to all of your subscribers at £2 a pop. Might be a nice investment 😜

Keep it, ride it, love it. 👊😎
