You just about hit the nail on the head when it comes to the fact we ascribe meaning to objects. Here's why I'm attached to mine.

My father owned 2 BMW S1000RR bikes, one for the road and one for the track. Back in 2011 he was at a track day at Barber Motorsports Park when, entering the corner that the museum overlooks, he had a stroke at 138 mph. He was a fit and muscular dude so he survived the initial trauma. He however succumbed to his injuries about a month later.

I was left with his road going S1000 as the track bike was totaled beyond repair. Back then I was scared of the 600 I tried to ride earlier that year. But I knew I was never going to get rid of my dad's bike. I didn't build up the nerve to ride the BMW until 5 years later. That whole time it stayed in our garage with 1500 miles on it, untouched. The nerve came about after we took it to a dealership to get the fuel lines and a bunch of other stuff replaced. That was when the service manager, same person who helped my father out getting his track bike ready, told me that I either had to ride it or sell it. As it would just fall apart if I let it sit for any longer.

Since then I've logged 15K additional miles on the bike that I've affectionately named Spitfire. She's taken me to many places and events since I started riding, and I've met so many new friends along the way. The connection I have to this piece of machinery is a strong one. Even if it breaks down and can no longer function, it's turning into a museum piece in my home lol. Having something that my father was the original owner of, and being able to take care of it myself, is something I will always cherish.

Little note about the bike as well. After my father's accident, we had the original stock fairings from his track bike installed on his street bike I ride today.

My bike means alot to me lol.

Came here to see what's wrong with a bike, left knowing what's wrong with ME.

Here in Germany, the coldness and the lack of caracter is the main selling point.

[davidalexispr]

Only thing wrong about the S100RR is that we don't own one 😂

[Bhatakti_Hawas]

So the only thing wrong with S1000RR is that its perfect ??
🤔🤔🤔

I own a 2014 BMW S1000R. While it's not exactly the same bike, I adore it! I would compare it more to a sniper rifle then to a soulless machine. Something that's very reliable and precise, you know what to expect every time you get on it. For me it's the ultimate combination of power, looks, reliability and support/comfort (electronics, suspension, handlebar heaters, riding modes etc.). What's left to say: Good work on experimenting with new projects Yammie! Keep it up! Cheers from Switzerland

I don't know about everyone here but I personally really enjoy the philosophic slant you've been leaning into, I hope you continue to do so. Much love

[cameronleslie]

To be honest, the reason I like the S1000RR is exactly because it's soulless, it's not got the history of the GSXR and the looks of the Fireblade, it's a motorbike that's there to be a motorbike, it does exactly what it was designed to do and nothing more, It really reflects the German way of approaching things, summed up quickly as "get it done in the most efficient and effective way possible"

(Not to mention that I definitely think it looks the best of all the 1000cc superbikes at the moment)

[CallMeTipz]

Is this video even ABOUT the BMW S1000RR? :D

[imdicc]

When i get drunk, i go philosophical like this

[revmatch]

I don’t think any bike is cold and lifeless, i think its the people that give life to the bike.😍

[Mbee]

Wow bro, such a clinically, cinematic and NON SARCASTIC piece. Keep up the fantastic quality!

I have a 2015 S1000RR and I love it. After years or Harleys and other Cruisers, I decided to try sport bikes. The Ninja 1000 i had my eyes on sold a week before I got home, so I looked through their inventory again and saw an all black S1000RR. My last bike being a 2008 Harley Crossbones, which was mostly blacked out except for the chrome spring up front, it caught my eye as the bike I needed. I was actually scared to take a sport bike out for the first time, as I have heard horror stories and also the day I bought it, it was raining a bit. Before I rode it off the lot (and I did, I just left my car there for 2 days, haha) they told me to put it in rain mode as it will be a lot more forgiving. But i did fall in love with it. Being a bit older I worried about my knees being crouched up all the time, but i find i have fewer back issues on a sport bike than on a cruise.

Since then, I bought a 2000 Ducati 900 supersport. It is also beautiful, but more for the sounds. It has that L-Twin and a dry clutch that rattles.

I love both my bikes.

Dude! This is a dope video! Excellent thoughts (and great quality production), I am super into the yamonologue. Pleeeease more intellectualism in moto content!!!

[MichaelRachal]

Love mine. Is it clinical? Yes. But I'd rather be able to count on controlling all those horse than overcoming some wild beast with an on-off throttle and no safety gizmos. I like how you wrapped the video up. Great job.

[championhorse]

The s1000rr is absolutely my dream ride

[desertfresh]

I couldn't disagree with you any more on this. My s1000 has so much more personality than my 959. Nothing has made me feel more than my S1000

[zuccmarkerbergzuccurmama]

a philosophy lecture is the last thing I'd expect from a motorcycle video, but HOLY SHIT you made this video so much more interesting

[danzrach]

Hey mate, you are a fantastic writer and orator, I really enjoy your content and please, please, please, if you get another bike, don't go crazy again, save that for the track, we need you around for at least a little while, now how is that for a long sentence!!

[GFJDean]

This is my favorite video I have seen from you. I love the philosophical side, and the fact that you use evidence to support an intelligent point you are making.
