  • As much as I want the bike, I can't get over the retarded look of the headlights.

  • Ducati 1198 used to be my dream bike but i changed my mind to a BMW S1000RR

  • As a Honda guy, I hate to say it but I want this bike.

  • talk about monotone :S boringgg

  • OMG you're paying the same for a bike which goes as fast as this as a new Fiat Punto? Who the heck in their right mind would choose the car? XD

  • i want this bike so bad!! working hard to buy one

  • MY DREAM IS TO RIDE ONE:) IT IS MY FAVOURITE

  • i jizzed @ :22

  • 80% talking 20% riding... wth

  • nothing can beat the s1000rr....hear that zx10r

  • @thelawnguys93 the bmw is ugly as fuck like your mommy's fatass

  • @hikoseijuro24 R U jellaous , that the bmw is succesfull byke ? Faggot !

  • agusta f4....

  • @apia13

    considering the F4 costs around 23-28 grand used where the s1000rr can be had more easily here in the states at a mere 15 grand, its definetly more suited for american sport bike riders. when was the last time you saw an F4 cruising dowtown in the states? very rarely, not many mv augustas are produced each year which drives the price up. this bmw is a nice bike for a great price, comparable to a 1098 but the duc costs twice what this one does.

  • I love the Japanese bikes, I really do. You would have to be silly though to think this bike can't compete with them. This is BMW's VERY first superbike and it's already putting away every other liter bike on the market. Stop being so pissy and thank BMW for raising the bar on the competition so we can see even greater bikes from everyone.

  • i agree, its much better looking than an R1 and i was an R1 Fan right up until i saw this bike, slickest liter bike ive seen yet

  • lolducati

    

  • So let me get this straight...70% more $ than any other superbike so you can have programmable throttle lag and a few adjustment numbers on the front suspension??? This is a nice bike but its stupidly priced. ZX-14, r-1 or GSX13 all hold their own against the BMW and they do it at a much more competitive price.

    The other thing that's dumb is that it's lines are a direct copy of the R-1 except the exhaust is hideous! It looks like a deformed appendage that doesn't belong on such a nice machine.

  • @notanythingful This bike is the same price as the Busa. I know. I own one. You can option it up to a little over 17k, but you don't have to.

  • will he be quiet and just run the bike for 4 mins, its a much better noise than his annoying voice

  • much better than the r1 the early r1s looked good but the new one just look crap

  • dude nice ride mcysu1

  • Wow..... BMW have proven alot through history. Proves they can shit on everyone if this is their first attempt at a super bike..... lol GO BMW

  • It looks better than an R1!?!?! Are your eyes retarded?

  • good on BMW bringing the options list to sportsbikes, that'll be £10k please...oh you want an engine with that oh ok then its £15k please, oh you want brakes ok that'll be £20k please... wankers

    As the saying goes wankers buy BMWs id buy any other 1000cc bike over this however good it is

  • Looks better than the R1??? Dreaming lol :P

  • what about hayabusa?

  • @mossner101 LOL

  • its perdy

  • i own a 2004 zx10r i have ridden this bike,it is fast but it does not rock my boat,it has too many electronic things and it is hard work

  • @RABBITOOJ oh you mean like the new zx10 that has the exact same shit but less power lol. thats why there is a base model so you dont have to have all that stuff on it. also it all dose it automatically so how can it be hard work when you dont have to do anything. if you actually rode one it would rock your boat cause it has way more power than your 04 zx10. but its all the same with all the zx,gsxr,r1 riders they are all pissed cause bmw came out with there first bike and blew them away.

  • the best motorbike EVER!!!

  • i now , but com on guys give him a break :D

  • very impresed .... i mean its in stereo and not just one ear

  • And it fits normal sized people yay :)!

  • I believe that was Portimao track

  • Ok, is MCN a professional outfit or what?

    It just looks like they got some random scruffy guy off the street to talk dispassionately about the new bike in front of a passerby with a cheapo point and shoot videocam.

    Yawn-enducing intro, less than a minute of shaky footage of the bike in action, dreary wrapup and that's your lot.

    Dreadful.

  • This guy could take the fun out of winding up on a porno set and being invited to join because you're just the guy they were looking for!!

  • very tempting but n head lights are just OUT

  • @JVL8701 yeah same thing for me, i dont really like the head lights, wich makes for me the GSXR Still the best bike ^^

  • i just about shit when i saw 30 OF THESE ALL LINED UP!!!!!! i want one........

  • @Moppin919 you mean jizz

  • i never wanted to say this: this bike is best bike, better from yamaha r1 r6 and the other bikes...

  • no way this is the best dont say it if you didnt try the ducati 1198

  • BMW now runs againts Japanese brands.

  • love it 

  • Don t belive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It s just Propaganda , to incrise sale in crisis time !!!!!! They used to use such metod before in 1939 ........ I stoped buy car test katalog which was made in GErman because germans car alway win, !!!!! even thouth are they very bad and expensive....

  • just like 100 cats running from a dog :P

  • I rode one of these for about 10 miles....I bought one 4 days later. Sold my ZX10 with less then 3kmiles. never look back.

  • Dear Corruptarsehole and redhotwhatever. The obvious thing to say to you two is get a room. Apart from the I would take the BMW over the CBR anyday even if it were 3 times the price. But I will stick with my F4 1078 which shits all over everything. Corrupt arsehole you have tickets on yourself and if someone else wants to comment let them and don't be such a fucking tool!!

  • I love when guys think this bike or that bike is the best machine, how could you possibly know without riding one. By reading figures? By looking at someone Else's opinion? Not to mention most guys that have their own opinion don't do track days. How the Hell do you know what bike is best with out track days? Riding on the street doesn't win any argument or further your knowledge. Since only 13% of people can ride a 600 I am not inclined to take you seriously. I discuss bikes with professionals

  • Sorry BMW but I will keep my 09 CBR 1000RR. That bike is not the best looking thing out there and for the price difference it isn't worth it. BMW brought this out knowing the 2012 revamp isn't out yet. Comparing this bike to the CBR is like splitting hairs,. You can talk all day but on the track the numbers do the talking. BMW has NOT done anything completely great, it is competitive. It is NOT ahead of anything rather right up there with them. I would put it in the CBR's class, which is #1

  • @CorruptArsenal213 don't look now but BMW's have gone 8.49@158 compared to busa's and zx-14's hovering in the low 9's and high 8's, they are all that and bag of chips my friend

  • @redhot916spd If you knew your facts you would know that the CBR set the world record in 2008 for the fastest 0-60 and 1/4 times beating the BUSA and ZX14. The BMW us fast don't get me wrong, I rode one have you? I do it for a living do you? The BMW is a great bike no argue about that but there will be a counter to it because there always is. I can tell that you are very limited in sport bike knowledge and you gain what little you have from reading and not 1st hand experience. BMW is over done

  • @CorruptArsenal213 the gsxr won the national event and the stock to stock the beemer is up 25 whp over the gixxer, so you have rode won hahhahaha ok expert, go win a national championship and then tell me its faster.

  • @redhot916spd have you rode either? The CBR was even less HP and beat the Gixxer. Stop reading about it and quoting what you don't know personally. You will never ride either so this convo is done.

  • I respect all the work and technology BMW has put into this bike but everytime I look at it I just cant help but cringe, its got a lazy eye for f*cks sake.

  • i love everything about it exept the headlights. i think they look stupid and should have kept it symetrical.

  • The Germans have beat the Japanese at their own game. This bike is a high tech miracle. Its what the R1, ninja, gixer and Blade should be if they weren't so preoccupied with sales figures. Its about time performance motorcycles caught up with the advancements happening in the performance car industry. I like my bikes hi-tech and by that I mean technology you can use on the street. What good is a cross plane crankshaft when 90% of sports bikes are ridden on the street?

  • the best engine are Kawasaki very powerful r1 is only famous

  • @spacetrance1 The BMW is the most powerful in the class.

  • 3:52 front lifts up... how is he alive!?

  • Front end is UGLY.

  • @zyou8er At first I thought so too, but now I've changed my mind and really like the asymetric head lights. Looks very sporty and high tech. It kind of grew on me.

  • that is one kick ass bike !

  • The r1 has the most usable power engine

  • @kidsolo36 Aha? And why do you mean? I guess you did not drive this BMW

  • give me one :D

  • Anyone not liking this bike should at least appreciate that more competition will lead to better bikes in general. Especially after such a piece of perfect engeneering entered the market ;)

  • got mine arriving end of june...cant wait as soon as got off the demo bike i knew i was going to get one....awsome machine....

  • I love this bike... Its so cool..... The only thing i dont like is the fact BMW dont like to use symetrical headlights.... For some reason that just bugs me..... But still all round an ace bike :) :p and i want to have one sitting in my garage in the forseable future

  • they made it real nice ... it looks damn sexy ...

  • holy hell could this guy make more noises with his mouth?

  • deutsches qualitätsprodukt

  • i want this bike in my garage so bad

  • Very nice bike.

  • Wasn't Trev with BIKE mag?  Thought I recognized him.

  • I'm considering between Aprilia RSV 4 Factory and this Piece of Art....

  • Great Job BMW! I'm a Kawasaki fan, but I'm glad to see BMW step up the competition, hope to see them in Moto GP someday!

  • Comment removed

  • You guys are fuckin wankers, perhaps it's just that the presenter can ride a bike quicker than you, how we perceive a bike is a personal thing, this thing rocks for a BMW....

  • wow i know nothing about bikes but that thing is fu**ing hot! i want to bend a girl over it and spoon on it........ -_-

  • that presenter was pretty bad...

  • @paltalkdevil i loled

  • thats a piece of shit compared to this bike!

  • busa's are freaking ugliest thing ever created.... sorry dude

  • no the ugliest ever created was your mother

  • why do you have jump to the mother. my god man get a freaking life. we are talking about bikes here, not people you freaking loser.... but hey, stop talking to me, you freak

  • can u have hi-beam and low beam on at same time?

  • just mod it like any bike or car... not very hard to do..

  • I love chrome, wet paint and HIDS

  • lets say I buy this bike. I am really into custom paint jobs preferably House of Kolors Brandywine over gold... But could I have the black part painted too or just the green part? whats the material of the black sections

  • Sounds like 600 :P

  • The fact is that they don't call it the 1000RR listen carefully he does say S1000RR, MCN UK have nominated it to be the new KING of the HILL, out performed all the Japs in BHP, braking, and top speed. Now what will I get as a trade for my ZX-12R..?

  • Love the bike. hate the fact that they had to go n call it the 1000"rr"

    Its like... WTF?? honda has "rr" race ready

  • to je aspoň stroj, nějaká Honda CBR může jít akorát do ....

  • HONDA CBR 1000RR....

  • At 28 more HP and lighter weight than the R1, it will blow that bike away.

    As to competition, BMW have been running the bike in world Superbike competitively for the last year. First year out not all that bad.

    That color is hideous. fortunately they have a red, white, blue race replica color available as well as an anthracite.

    Probably means that the hideous green will be a collector's desire in a few years.

  • Lets see, time will show all. Japanese and Italians are producing sport bikes long time before BMW so we will se what newbiee can do, so i dont think it will keep up with Japs or Italians, but if i wrong, that will be one of the best sport bikes in the world and great succes by BMW motorrad.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH this guys said it looks better then the r1. wow, didnt say anything about performance, just looks, which is false anyway

  • what a ugly color !.

  • someone knows the name of the music?? its awesome!

  • its pretty unique

  • i dont see why 1 light is smaller than the other

  • @DONNELLY091 I think it's ugly as hell :O

  • 3:49 it sounds almoust as good like my zx6r 2008 ;):D:D:D...

    This is the  best 1000cc motorbike right now on the market....BMW made a brilliant machine...

  • On the market yes. At World Superbike. No.

  • We need to wait a little bit and I'm sure BMW will show full potential of the S1000RR in World Superbike....;)

  • Its BMW, thats why :p

  • Did that guy almost eat shit on that wheelie he was busting? LOL 3:48

  • @CaptSaveAHo3 haha yeah.

  • i dont really like the color of the test bike

  • this guy is fucking miserable, i would have a huge ass grin for weeks if i got to do that. although im incapable of actually doing it.

  • damn that is sexy

  • This channel sucks. It played a commercial in the middle of the show. You Tube dies!

  • 190 at the crank...180 on the ground? Holy Crap!...Bmw has begun its blitzkrieg on the literbike market...And its hitting with force.

    I Wonder when they will make a 600? Hmm...

  • They won't make a 600. the cost is virtually the same to make a 600 as a litre bike, and it sells for less.

  • i hope so...otherwise they will have a glaring hole in their Supersport segment...They should consider that, and making a 13/1400cc bike to compete with the Zx14 and hayabusa aswell...do i think they will? No. Do i wish they would? Yes.

  • Sport homologated bikes come in 2 sizes 600 and 1000 cc (except that they allow 2 cylinder bikes up to 1200cc such as Ducati to compete in litre class because they don't put out as much HP.)

    The 1300 and 1400cc production bikes are mostly a sport touring bike.

    BMW makes 1300 cc Sport touring bike that I consider superior to the Hyabusa. It is a ton more expensive, but that is because it has all the farkle that one would expect of BMW plus a shaft drive.

  • bmw have a k 1300 which is blindingly fast but it is a naked bike

  • They also have a GT version of that bike with a ton of farkle on it including a big windshield and saddlebags. It's slightly less power, but a modification to the air box will fix that.

    Any of the new top sport touring bikes have a top end of 160 +,

  • @Yoda8945 you can detach all of that shit and you can still carve through the canyon

  • I'm a bully because the guy can't grasp basic english ? LOL

  • meh japs have been developing sportsbikes for decades, dunno if the germans are gonna pull it off in a year, having said that, it is a nice looking bike

  • "BIKE" magazine, here in the UK had this to say about the S1000RR:

    "In two years time, all Japanese sportsbikes will be like this"

  • less than that i assure

  • good, then maybe ill be able to afford one

  • Whats a frottle ?

  • you're such a bully

  • bhahaha he said frottle

  • Yawn yawn yawn

  • just buy the aprilia rsv4, way racier bike

  • No way that looks better than the R1

  • looks nice... but 10.950 Pounds.... ,,!,,

  • Friendlyness of a fireblade, get up and go of a zx10 looks better than an r1 and the gsxr is going to be somewhere behind it?

    What a load of fucking bollocks

  • please stop chewing the mic, please.

  • interresting.. Btw anyone up for some dity talk^^ ?

  • lol @ dity

  • dickhead! spell properly u silly cunt!

  • But I love DUCATI bikes

  • look like yamaha R6

  • It looks better than an R1? I know looks are subjective, but mate, come on.

    Also, MCN, although your videos are free, I've always wanted to say that your clips are amateur at best, at least buy a fking tripod, if not, go and get a halfway decent videocamera!

  • next time.. take the fucking mic out of your mouth..

    I can hear your mouth smacking with every other word.

    Gay

  • You have to compare it to the new Aprilia rsv4 Race Machine,and the Ducati 1198 R Corse,the Yamaha R1 and the Kawasaki zx 10 r...

    However,another great bike comes to this club!

  • amazing bike! but price.....

  • Great looking bike. They're already setting new standards with this fantastic bike. Way to go BMW!!

  • agreed its the first half desent looking bike bmw have made but next to a 1098?

    traction control is for newbies

  • i think it looks and sounds great, only let down for me is the lights? really let the whole agressive look down.

    but all in all a great job from BMW i reckon?

  • Dunno about you but i love the gills look on the side! im on restrictions for 3 years but :(

  • Ugly bike. Ducatis rule

  • i like it now but id have to change the fairings and lights. looks a beast appart from that

  • as cool as it looks, aesthetically, i dont like the asymmetry

  • this bike is perfect!!

  • I'm already on the list and will have mine in Thunder Grey Metallic with DTC and ABS. Forget the quick shift though as it didn't get good reviews in the HP2. Delivery should be in March but I'm stuck in Iraq through June. Can't wait to get home and ride!!

  • dayum it's ugly.

  • i give it a +9

  • I think the mistake many of us are making is to think about this in terms of other, older BMWs. This is not a touring bike, or a sports-tourer for old men. It should be seen in the same class as the R1; GSXR; ZX10R; CBR-RR; RSV4; 1198 etc. That's the class BMW are aiming at, and they are not aiming to come in as an also-ran. They want to be at the top of the group, in every particular.

    Have they achieved that? Well, the jury is out - but it's looking pretty good so far.

  • I don't think it's the most attractive bike, but I agree it's better than the current R1. It's distinctive without being ugly. Streets ahead of anything with stacked headlights.

    Wayne Gardner said it was far better than he expected in many ways. It is a match (or more than) for any standard road bike in handling, power, quality and ease of use. He particularly praised the handling and the engine management and throttle control, the modes and so forth.

  • Add all the extra features the BMW has to your R1 and it wil cost more then 3k dollars. The difference in price is there because the BMW has better brakes, suspension and lotsm ore. Its an out of the box trackbike unlike the R1 where u have to put cash in the suspension and brakes to make it track worthy.

  • I hate the headlights !!!!!!!

  • Yeah, I don't like em either :(. But the rest is awesome...simply BMW.

  • The headlights look ugly as fuck.

  • this bike is nice!give the R1 a run for it's money

  • it deffenetly doesnt look better than a r1 bur probably an awesome bike
