M1000RR OR S1000RR? Which One Should You Buy?!

Is the BMW S1000RR overall better than the M1000RR?

With the M1000RR being almost twice the price, we think it may be!

BMW has a following for a reason. These bikes have the power, the looks, and the premium feel to them, along with creature comforts that many appreciate. The M badge also has built up a reputation in the automotive world. But if we're honest. The M1000RR is lacking a little punch to really set it apart from the S1000RR.

Watch the entire video to hear our full unfiltered thoughts on which of the two we would choose, and what we would buy with our own money!

Are you guys surprised with the choice? What would be your pick?!

[robertholcomb]

Definitely agree with you, Mani, As an owner of a 21 M1000 RR I definitely got caught up in the hype when the bike came out, but the S 1000 RR is more than capable and the price difference leaves a lot of money on the table for track days tires etc....

[JohnnyBlankify]

100% right, I got the most base version s1000rr and upgrade it. Also same with Ducati Panigale v2. Got the basic version no limited edition, upgrade it and make it your own. V4S and V4, I choose V4 just because so many easy things you can do for much cheaper with quality components and considering we really don't need everything else that are on the bike as is in it's upgraded form from the company.

[ghostvardy]

I was in between both bikes but I got the 24 s1000rr full carbon kit full titanium akropovich exhaust and I absolutely love it ❤.

[Eonwheel]

I bought BOTH of them
2020 S1000 RR M Package &
2023 M1000 RR added Carbon Fiber, Full Exhaust and Brentuned them.
Both bikes are AWESOME to say the least.
However the 23 M1000 RR Kicks just a bit harder💪🏾👍🏾

[agustinrocha]

I just bought a new motorcycle this year. I went with the S1000RR just because of the looks. I prefer the look of the S1000RR vs the M1000RR.
I would love to liked the M1000RR as I own M cars. But I really like the look of the S1000RR with the M package.

[actionjaxon]

Yall need to get the naked M1000R. I’ve got a 24 and I love it ! It’s another great option. I like it better than my RR I had. Does everything the RR does better except top speed. That’s where the naked is limited.

[Crotchrckit]

Considering how BMW treated you, I wouldn’t touch either now.

[andigorani]

Got my first bike 5 weeks ago (f900r) as much as I love it, I can't wait until I have a few years under my belt for a s1000rr.

[benyaeast]

Thank you my persian bro, im deciding between these two and this video really helped! I love race bikes and benn riding RR my whole life but the naked one is also really good and comfortable! I might rewatch the video again! ❤

[LastRonin-tlev]

Completely agree. I purchased my 2024 back in February and just got the breakin completed and I love that thing. I can’t wait to get the bren tune n headers but this is an easy answer.

[masterjim]

S1000RR for the street, M1000RR for racing and track days and the fastest bike at the Isle of Man TT.

[laurentmarchesano]

thanks for all this information, great video like ever ✌

[natecote]

M1000rr isn't worth any where near what they get for them! Best to get a S1000rr base for 18, 000, buy the M1000rr fairings, get ohlins suspension front and rear, full exhuast, tuning, brembo brakes and other goodies for the same price yet have a much better bike

[fumontanaka]

Thank you for your great articulattion so that even a non-native can enjoy the explanations 👍

[American_Enigma]

Thank you as always for making these videos. I love your content and customer service. I will say though, there are a few things that may not necessarily be addressed about the 2024 S1000RR in this video. I have the 2024 M package with every conceivable box clicked. My bike came with:
1. Titanium Akrapovic Headers, as well as the muffler. I believe this is specific to the race package when ordering the S1000RR but it's been a while since I ordered it.
2. The 2024 S1000RR will come with carbon fiber wheels (when the package is ordered) and the M1000RR now comes with forged.
3. I believe the cylinder heads are the same
4. It comes stock with a 46 tooth rear sprocket, just like the M1000RR. It use to come with the 45 tooth. Not saying this is good or bad, just a similarity. Both come with the M Endurance chain. as well.

I actually had the choice between the two bikes and went wit the S1000RR. To me it's a better value for riding on the roads, while still providing track level performance that exceeds 99% of our abilities. You can't beat the electronic suspension on any bike set up. Manual setups are great for a track but not as conducive to changing road conditions. I will tell you I haven't seen one with all the bells and whistles go for 26k.

[GregNice]

Fortunate to have had the opportunity to own both of these and I agree with you Mani 100%

[mdubhood]

I would only disagree with you saying that the M1000RR has an upgraded suspension. I've always read that the S1000RR' front suspension is more of an upgrade over the M's because of the fact that the M is the homologated model so they gave it the basic suspension so that changing over to a racing suspension is easier.

[jedifyll]

This was a GREAT comparison topic video! All the facts laid out there. The S1000 is a no-brainer.

[Exitstrategies]

Same with Ducati, V4 Base vs an R gets you 95% there. The extra 20k can load that bike up with an exhaust, tires, wheels, clip ons, rear sets, track days, training, tires, warmers, stands, protection, a couple services. Or buy another bike an RSV4 and have the best of both worlds.
