BMW M 1000 RR | IS IT WORTH IT?!

First ride and review of the eagerly anticipated BMW M 1000 RR at a changeable and chilly Donington Park Press Test.

Nah, this is a brutally honest and ultimately accurate review of the bike and who it is aimed at. As Chris rightly points out, it's designed for race teams who will junk so much of bike in favour of Race spec kit. Clearly it's a fantastic bike, but so is a standard S1000rr.

Anyone else appreciated just how damn clear that wind screen is; how the water beads up it in the air stream so cleanly - plus that silky smooth steady cam guffery. Phwooar!!!

Totally honest review! Thanks for being invited to such a cool day and not just noshing BMW.

1:51 Not gonna lie, I think the episode should have started out with this 😂

Huge respect for the blokes at 44teeth. After watching I was reminded of this quote I read somewhere, “Sincerity and truth are the basis of every virtue.”!
Keep up the good work you guys.
Really appreciate it.

Great review! Would really like to see a follow up to this with you riding one after a race team has been through it.

Nice, thanks Chris . Whatever you are doing these days, you seem much more focused and engaging.I see you replied to many comments. We appreciate all you both do and I get a bit of a chubby when I see a notification of a new video .( no matter the subject and that screams volumes)
Be safe .

Chris, your racing skill has grown leaps and bounds, it’s awesome to see, good for you man. It’s been fun to watch your progression.

This guy was great in schitt's creek and he’s pretty clever on a bike, goes to show you never can tell 😆

Baron is slowly changing from general glove faffer to actual motor journalist with real props

I was at Donington on the same day and Chris seemed more interested in an old school Kawasaki that was there...

[rolandfullthrottle]

Nice one, Chris !
This was a proper honest review, no bias here 👍

Chris I love this channel, it’s my go to… watched this and still traded my S for the M.. Having ridden them back to back on street and track. I can give you my opinion also. The S is an incredible bike, smooth, controlled and rapid. Both bikes in stock trim feel very similar, the M turns in a bit better. However, once you get them flashed and a full pipe, they are different. The M is more edgy, and gets power the power to the ground in a different way. I’m not saying it’s better but just different. It’s a shame you had not great weather and no slicks and the suspension was at the stock settings (I think), not the way to ride that bike. So yes, you need to do things to the M, but you also need to do things to the S. I commute on mine and track it, I love it. I’ve owned a lot of 1k bikes, and I’m really enjoying this one. And YES it does look good. Both amazing bikes. If you’re looking to save some money and still want an incredible bike the S is just awesome. If you want to feel something with a bit more life get the M (if you can afford it, it’s expensive but then again YOLO haha).

You are spot on in your analysis of this bike. I bought an S1000RR in 2013 then turn around and purchased the 2014 HP4 competition as a collectors bike. I have jus over 10, 000 miles on it and I have been waiting for the M 1000 RR competition just so that I can delivery of it as a collectors Motorrad bike as well.

Undoubtably one of the best looking bikes on the market right now

[tonykeast]

Big Chris... hitting nails on heads like a proper journo SHOULD! Bravo dude 👌👏👏👏

[mohlomphehi]

13:45 So one of them had an oil leak...? This is the BMW reliability that we have all become accustomed to. No surprises there.

[SaqibKhaliq]

The honest review is refreshing, as opposed to the gushing praise from others. Great video 🙏🏽

[LushmanGB]

I saw you in the background of a Bennett’s review video a few days ago, nice bit of sneaky marketing.

[brucekendall]

I'm sure you have summed the bike up perfectly.In the hands of the right race team it could be a winner.Thks.
