The perfect road bike? 2024 BMW S1000XR review

Рет қаралды 51,697

Күн бұрын

The BMW S1000XR's had a huge update for 2024, including more power, more standard kit and some supposed improvements to some of the old bike's weaker points. I've been living with one for a week, so join me for my final thoughts, a quick ride and a poke around all the new bits.

While working at a bmw dealership, I test rode every single bike out there for several years while saving up and deciding what to buy. Settled for a used 2016 xr. From carving the canyons in Southern California to cross country touring, it’s the perfect sport touring bike.

@richardbains5 29 күн бұрын

I had one, I found all the power was in the top of the rev range which meant that you were hitting 80mph before the power band kicked in. This made it a not so perfect bike for the road. Sold it and bought something with less BHP and more torque.

@kugangles9860 Ай бұрын

I love my 23XR. It's flashed and has aftermarket headers whixh transforms the bike completely. Its a proper animal now.

@dougiequick1 Ай бұрын

Nope the reviewers say the new one is way better and they are like gods of all expertise (NOT) I bet the difference is so minimal. 5hp? could easily be a simple lie. HB vibrations might simply be heavier bar ends I BET the new one is heavier "bigger battery" bit idk

I own a 2021 XR and still love it, going on year 3 in August. Seat isn’t particularly comfortable but that’s about the only negative I can come up with. I usually ride at a moderate pace and easily get 210-220 miles on a full tank of fuel. Truly ticks all the boxes for me.

Great review. I've had 4 XR's and love them. The current one is 2 years old. Owned it from new done 28,000 miles, a lot of that with the wife on, she's 60 and I'm 66. We go on european tours and both find it brilliant. Ride it like a 600 and its very rewarding.

@@donnyazoff980 I had major issues with an oil leak on my 3rd one., BMW and my local dealer sorted it out . They even gave me a huge discount on the one I have now as compensation. No problems with my current one after 28000 miles in 2 years. Fantastic bike. That said I think BMW have good and bad bikes. I've had courtesy bikes that have been shite. All I would say is buy one of there specials, like a triple black. The finish is better.

Great to hear the truth about the “improved” seat. The gen 2 isn’t great either but after trying just about everything on the market the standard M seat plus a Cool Covers seat cover is surprisingly good enough for 3 hours for me, which is more than enough without a break. The annoying indicators can be slightly improved with Weiser Technik Wizards that plug straight in and turn off the rear light function when indicating. Having followed a GS with the same lights for a while they’re actually not as bad as they look. I could see the indicator quite clearly. Standard screen is terrible, MRA Vario with the extension gets rid of the buffeting. It’s personal preference but the XR always makes me feel special, it’s very tame and easy to ride in traffic in rain mode, but after 8k revs it’s ballistic. It’s a great bike but you need to like working the revs. Low end torque just isn’t there.

Great review! I tested a month ago a Tracer 9 GT+, a 1300 GS and a S1000XR : all three the same day, from the same dealer. Spent about 2 hours with each, including a little run with the wife behind. Ended up ordering the XR (all packages, including the M as yours). Please ask question if any 😊

@morg8181167 Ай бұрын

My wife opinion: - tracer is the less « pretty », and not as powerfull as the others. Confort was ok. - GS is the most confortable, but seat heating is useless. - XR is the most appealing, but the less confortable as a passenger. But as my previous bike was a Aprilia RSV4, the XR is still verrrry confortable 😂 For me : - tracer was good. Great price/value. But for me you buy a bike cause you love it, not just like it… - GS, did not enjoy the engine : sound, vibrations at low RPM… - XR, loved all 😅 I almost chose the Tracer

Regarding the slippery seat it might be down to the riding jeans you wear. I had the same problem with my 2022 XR and swapped the standard seat for the supposedly non-slip M Sport seat. Still have the same problem but only when wearing jeans and not with other gear (textiles etc). Anyway, great review with the usual dry humour. Also in my opinion the vibes are a non existent problem and short screens are always the way to go 👍

Just get the TE. £18k ish, M sport just gets you an iffy paint job and less comfy seat. If only Cardiff bmw hadn't closed down 😭

I owned a 22 plate from new in april 22 to sept 22 traded it fir my gsa rallye all i can say is its a deeply flawed bike. No shift cam so gutless low down rider pegs in the way of legs when staionary. Very top heavy and vibey

Get a F900XR with dynamic and dynamic pro riding modes. It shifts and tours 60mpg, save yourself thousands. I can confirm as I have owned 2021/22 S1000RR x2. Still have a 2022 S1000R.

@kugangles9860 Ай бұрын

Two different animals. Anemic boring parallel twin vs a screaming I4. I test road a F900XR last year at a dealer while my bike was being serviced and it's nowhere near as fun and engaging as my 1000XR.

@inked-96 Ай бұрын

I had an 900XR and it was bloody awful. Suspension was shit. Rear brake was non-existent. Handlebar vibration was awful, buffeting was awful, seat was like concrete.

Crossed-up wheelies on corner exit and a rude inline 4 noise!

By the time you say the entire name it's already depreciated 20%.

Every single bike /car depreciates 20 % the second it leaves the showroom that’s the VAT ! Ash

It's reasonably tall but feels OK once you're on it... depends on your inside leg (oo-er)

@ski3435 Ай бұрын

There is a low suspension model available.

@dean-does-stuff-81 Ай бұрын

@@ski3435 the problem with low suspension or low seat is that they don't really ride the same. I had a GSA for a good many years, standard height. Had no issues at all. This xr 1000 isn't too tall, its too big. It seems to be designed around some one that is 6 foot 3. The seating area, bar position, pegs etc, for some one my size (and i would put myself in the average categorie at 175cm) the bike is just too big. Feels like when you are a kid and you get on your dads mountain bike. Its just all wrong and you have no confidence on it. Sure, i can ride it, but it doesn't fit me..

Plastic tank for well over 20k Looks shit, seat is still shit, I will stick with a much nice Ducati Panigale (yes know it’s not naked I like wind protection at 120 mph) and if you must have a really powerful naked try a V2 Streetfighter, even cheaper!
