It’s not just 31 year olds who like them. I’m 60 and on my second S1000RR M-Sport. It really is as Papa Yam describes it. And 250-300 miles a day is easy. Tracked it, toured it (northern Spain) , scratched it - local roads, loved it. As for the XR? No! Just NO! As the old man in Monty Python’s Search for the Holy Grail said - “I’m not dead yet”.

The Isle of Mann video of Peter Hickman riding this bike to a record lap is simply unbelievable. He is a unreal talented rider and that BMW he is riding simply seems indestructible.

YN, I'm 50yrs old and recently got a 2022 S1kRR and love it. Been riding 35 yrs

I would love to see a "I'll review your bike!" where you ride and review other peoples 2 wheeled amalgamations.
-
Just need to add - the ABS is sophisticated but, downhill hard braking will get you into a lot of trouble - the rear lifts and the ABS cuts the pressure and you don’t stop till the rear gets back down. The only option left is to look through the bend and apply the gas and hope the TC helps you out - it will, by the way, but ask me how I know😅

I’m getting a used 21 s1000xr here this weekend. I took it for a test ride today and honestly, it’s super smooth. Even though it has way more power than I need, I love how tame the bike is on city streets when it’s lower in the revs. The electronics are also a nice touch as well.

54 yo here and ride an '18 RSV4. I'll never step down.

You feel old at 32? I'm more than twice your age and have ridden Harleys only for the last 40 years. But last October I bought a 2016 S1000XR, and I absolutely love it. The engine has a split personality. Under 6000 rpm, the bike is mild manner and controllable. But when you hit 8,9,10,000 rpm, it turns into a beast. I can only imagine a RR. My dream Beemer is the MXR.

"Feel like it's got your back". That is a great description of how I felt when I got some experience with the S1000XR. It's just "there for you", do something a little dumb, electronics are there to jump in. It's just so good at going fast, making you feel like you're as safe as possible doing it, and keeping you comfortable while it's doing it. I got my XR at 45. You might still be a little young. ;)

11:30 yeah I feel you. Got my first 600cc bike at 27/28 years old (A Yamaha XJ6F Diversion). Dude, I used to ride 250 300cc bikes, and I'd be dead if I got de XJ when I was younger. The power of the engine, the four cilinder sound when you rev it, it blows my mind. Thank god He only gave me conditions to by a sportsbike now. Otherwise, I'd be a dd squid :( Cheers from Breeeziiiillllll Yammie!

I think you would love the s1000r or the m1000r It has the comfort and position of a naked bike but all the electronics and almost all the power of the s1000rr
-
Cruise control, heated grips and hill hold are my favourite features 👌
-
my favorite bike in my garage is my 23 s1000rr. The bren tune stage 2 is icing on the cake
-
Superbikes is the best and the safest bikes for roads. They have everything. I am 56 years old and still like it after 38years of driving. 🎉🎉😊
-
Biggest YAMAHA d rider speaks highly of different brand bike? Suprised
-
Thats definenly my dream liter bike
-
This is legit one of the most fantastic plot twists of all time lol. I love the S1000RR (I remember watching baron von grumble riding one back in the day when I could only fantasize about affording something like this) so I'm a bit biased, but love seeing Yami enjoy the ole beemer.
-
Yammie Im thinking about the s1000rr and a V4 and I really need a video of yours comparing feelings on the bikes... differences between electronic suspension and daily pains for a daily rider like me... as always love your content 🤙
-
Personally, I look way too small on that bike; standing at 6'3" tall. That's why I bought the 25th Anniversary Hayabusa and bought the TTS Performance 400 Hp Supercharger and outfitted it with custom carbon wheels with ceramic bearings. I had Moore Mafia do 100% of the installation and it's a monster to say the least. I fit on the busa like a glove without any back aches, butt aches or knee pains from long distance riding(600 miles in a day while achieving over 180 miles to the tank ! )
