Great video. Bike is “meh”. All bikes are great on spec sheets today, but it’s the bike that gets your heart pumping and looks like sex on wheels that’ll be exciting.

@@ilmostro16 so true

Haha very true. What a legend!

When's the birth video coming out?

@@ilmostro16This is one of the best looking bikes.

You definitely need the M. POWER!

Same! I’ve had my 2020 and rarely take it out of road mode. But I NEED the M 😊

@@Motorelief_mike - I know the feeling. What's great about the R is that below 8,000 RPM is an easy motorcycle to ride. Up top is a different experience.

@@JohnJay1745 The R is my first sport bike. At 55 I figured WTF< I'll give it a go. (I have 6 bikes and rode 33k miles last year, so not a new rider). I need to get some proper training to get the full benefit from the S1R... but can't lie... the draw of the M1R is strong... that black is sexy AF!

Seems typical for these boilerplate launches. They're all the same and basically pointless from a review perspective. A bunch of "reviewers" follow each other around in a line in the sun, half of whom can barely ride.

I echo that experience 100%. Got a Tuono now…

Same, too. Felt it had less personality than the double r

Couldn’t disagree more

Who’d have thought an Aprilia would be cheaper!

True, but the Tuono is a previous generation to these newest chassis. It’s pretty heavy in comparison. Not that big of a deal on the street, but the newest BMW’s tech and power is unreal.

@@Showmetheevidence- Aprilia has always been really competitive with their pricing idk where you got that impression from

@@adamniswonger8015 I think calling the tuono pretty heavy is quite a stretch, yes it's 10kg more than the bmw but tbh if you've ever ridden one you'd be aware how incredibly nimble the v4s are, they just feel like 600s

And the SD-R Evo.. its a torque king

i wish that too! One day maybe....

I find it really interesting how much men feel the need to bring GT in totally unrelated debates. Pretty low level, to be honest.

@@dlicen Did you just assume someone's gender? Or did you mean generally?

If you enjoy riding your bike, as opposed to working on it (or, more likely, having it at the shop being worked on or waiting for parts) I'd suggest the M1000R.

@@pedronogueira8148yes get the M with the competition package you won’t regret it and you will forget about Ducatis and Tuonos thank me later Cheers

Growing up is realising "slower" cars and bikes are more fun. As in being able to get the full potential out of a vehicle without dying or being completely silly.

130-150 twin, parallel for street....inline 4s while great for racing and tracks just don't really have a place on streets....have 890 R and wish it had just a bit more.....don't need anything close to 200 hp although would like to try a SD 1290 one day....

kinda: the dynamic and dynamic pro modes let you set anything you like to 4 different levels so it'll go rain, road, dynamic, dynamic pro and you can. Think configurable presets instead of just a thing to mess with traction control on the fly.

I just face palmed 😂

@@Murr_3823 🤦‍♂

There is none. The M only has more power above 10k rpms... So unless you explore high revs regularly, better to save some cash for a second bike or trackdays etc.

But this isn’t a sportsbike

@@mbal4052 err what is it then?

@@Google_Does_Evil_Now a super naked

Jeez. If you think that a BMW is going to be any better reliability wise then you haven’t done your homework.

@@jockojockoson9995 I don't know bro, my 2021 S1000RR has been flawless so far with 20+ track days and couple thousand miles canyon riding.A lot of my Ducati owner's club friends have had similar gremlins. But maybe I don't have all the data. Can you send me a link with BMW issues?

Same. Supposed to get mine in April after a slew of Ducatis, all of which have been cruel mistresses. You getting any better intel than I am on deliveries?

@@motosagelamy friend is service manager at a big dealership and he strongly advocated for me to go M1KR over V4S - German engineered, less expensive parts, more accessible for work. I love my Ducatis to death but fuck I’ve had one issue after another

I believe they are the same. You're best off looking for a taller seat. Or buy a GS Adventure 😂

@@FortyFourTeeth yea a taller might work, I believe they’ve actually made 3 different heights. Definitely not a GS fan at any stage of my life thank you..😂.

rearsets that move up and back can help. make sure they move A LOT back.

@@douglasw4082 thank you. I’m trying to find out if the frame on the 23 is the same as 22/21 that way I’ve more options on sets I can buy. There asking £1250 for the M rear sets that come on the white m sport..😂. Others are only adjustable up or back 5mil. No good.

I'm not as tall as you - I'm 6'2" - but I've spent a decent bit of time on a 2021 S1000RR with the taller seat, and it made a massive difference for me (and for my dad, who's the same height). The bike feels infinitely better to me with the taller seat; in my opinion, it's definitely worth getting, and will make the riding experience much more pleasant for you. If i remember correctly, the taller seat is an inch higher than the standard seat

Cuz professionals can still crash and they want to protect the bikes?!?! ... big Corporations don't like just throwing money away..

@@bmorisquati It's definitely Health and Safety rather than a cost/crash issue.

Same. Dropping just one tooth on the front and leaving the rear standard made a world of difference. The savings in price can be used elsewhere. 👍😎🇦🇺

I'd keep it. If I was coming in from a completely different bike, the M would be the pick, but it's probably not worth sinking so much money into something that's just the same but faster.

@@marcusgeorge1825 Where'd you buy the new front sprocket? I'm also in Aus.

@@marcusgeorge1825 I have a Gen 3 S1000R Sport....how has dropping 1 tooth on the front changed the bike?

@@jimmybh A great question. As you can’t legally explore the top speed on roads, dropping one tooth increases the acceleration at the expense of top speed. The same result will also happen if you leave the front sprocket and increase 3 teeth to the rear one. It’s also a racing tactic when setting up bikes for different tracks to ensure (regardless of track) you hit max rpm at 75-80% of each longest straight. So, at a track like Phillip Island you actually go the other way as Gardners straight is 800 metres long. Hope this help explain the reasons why.

you spelt Tuono wrong....

Test ride a Hypermotard. I bought one off the back of Statham's review and it's been a mental time ever since. I'm so glad I bought it instead of the Streetfighter. It gets all the attention, but the hyper is a fantastic road bike that never gets boring at the speeds my old self now wants to ride at. Be warned though, the character is very much coked up toddler.

It's crazy that the bike is so good, one of the main criticisms that I hear is that it's too good lol

@@kiztime1234 sounds good! Mate of mine had an Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 and I was blown away by how good that was! For a road bike, I'm not sure you need anything quicker or better on a twisty B road. Really changed my preconceptions with that genre of bike! It's a shame dealership support for Aprilia North of Edinburgh is lacking, or I might have gone for an RSV4 rather then my Gsxr-r

That’s why I bought a KTM SDR 🔥

The standard s1000r engine isn't really accessible at road legal speeds, so no chance with this one!
