2012 BMW S1000RR Review

[CannonRoadPilot]

I love the Asymmetrical look.

[spanzera456]

just think, these guys are all at work right now! I want that job!!!!

[turbosized]

I OWN A GSXR 1000 K5 BUT I DEFINATELY WANT THIS ONE!!!!!

[planktonization]

It's a fucking superbike, people talking about headlights ? Best 1000 roadbike is in my opinion the zx10.

[Getthefuckoffmylawn]

Keith Richards brother

[heemoii]

dude this guy looks like tony hawk 00:25

[scorpleon]

bmw got it right ! you cant see the lights when your riding the best sports bike on the roads.got to love the s1000rr,gonna trade mine for the 2012 !!!! nothin better on the market unless you like sheds

[Bartholomeusismyname]

Are you stalking me??? I agree that the s1000rr looks badass but I would rather the front have two round healights...thats just my "opinion", not a fact. Do you even have a motorcycle or are you talking all this shit and dont even ride? If thats the case your opinion reaaaally doesnt mean shit. Oh yeah, 90% of the people on here think the new 1199 is beautiful so what that tell you? Your the minority...

[malekai777]

thats crazy the best bike is also the bang for the buck hope i get back a good tax return this year

[veetya92]

pfff. i still like these headlights. 

[TroyFox711]

First of all u the 1199 is about to be ridiculously priced. The S1000rr is by far THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK SUPER BIKE OUT.

[Bartholomeusismyname]

This is an amazing bike but the new 1199 might take the #1 spot away from it. Cant wait to see a comparison between the two

[buckwheat40]

@Bartholomeusismyname the new 1199 is fucking ugly!!! the headlights and nose are horrific. S 1000 RR just looks badass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kubicheck1000]

kkkkkkkk, careca é zikkka mano kkkkk

[b1elzinho299]

mais uma para tomar pau do careca terrorista!

[sonicnofadz]

Why the fuck did the Japanese Yen have to sky rocket, now all my favorite vehicles cost way too much. Now you might as well buy a fucking euro bike for almost the same price.

[SerhatR1]

everything is nice except the ugly headlights...

[usrodeo5]

I am getting one (Red/white/black) as soon as the BMW dealer in Orlando starts getting them in...shoudn't be much longer...I am totally psyched!

[luigibattista10]

Panigale eats this bike for breakfast. And before you start with your bullshit, I have ridden both. I just rode the Panigale in Trapani,Siciliy.

[hackneo64]

@luigibattista10 watch out we have a badass over here!

[luigibattista10]

@hackneo64 Easy to eat. Trust me. Try the Panigale my brother, you will understand me. Look, I rode this s1000RR in Mexico and of course, its a bomb (compared to my R1 2007 and my GSXR 2009). The BMW is an astronaut but the Ducati is an alien. Sorry for my english.

[luigibattista10]

@hackneo64 And I forgot, to me, the Panigale is the most beautiful bike ever built with the best materials, the BMW seems like a chinese bike next to the Panigale. Don't believe me, go to the Ducati dealer and see for yourself. Cheers.

[hackneo64]

@luigibattista10 ive seen one in person at the international motorcycle show a few weeks ago, i wasnt as impressed as you. For the money you paying it has diminishing returns, which means the performace doesnt match the cost. It has a cool digital touchscreen though.

[luigibattista10]

@hackneo64 Did you ride it?

[mrtruthshallprevail]

@luigibattista10 Puhleezzz, ducatis are nice to look at sure , but dont give me that it looks like a chinese bike next to it crap. The bmw happenned to reset the bar for sportbikes when it was released so cut the crap yea. And yeah , me own one so back off junior.

[luigibattista10]

@mrtruthshallprevail I'm sorry but I could not understand your english.

[hetisjechillerboyjwz]

is it any comfortable?

[dogg5306]

Ducati Panigale has reset the counters! :-)

[TheMessier1]

still 193 ps -.-

[Csirkefoga]

guy looks like having a hangover and a heavy sunburn lol

[CaptSaveAHo3]

@Csirkefoga lol

[hvkv0000]

@RTiger19 lol...im guessing uv got a zx... :D

[RTiger19]

@hvkv0000 Not yet lol. I'll have one next year for sure though^_^

[datnoticboi]

The fact of the matter is that this bike is only 2 years old, and it is already the leader of the inline 4s for the street. Give it some time in the racing scene alot of the usual winners have been racing for decades, even Jordan didn't win his first couple of years in the NBA.

[plazmixplazmix]

I'm never gonna like the headlights

[schecterguitarsfan]

I agree that the headlights dont look very good but hey its a very unique styling from BMW. This is a super great sports bike imo

[MrBigolnuts]

does Ducati make anything that can compete with this?

[Burugudunstuy123]

@MrBigolnuts I think the 1199 Panigale bro. They say that it has 195hp or something.

[Linkgt]

Nice, lets see how it does in next years WSBK. They were pretty eh this year...

[BeansOnGhost]

@89powerup who cares that is not a litre bike! Remember the BMW is 1 litre and pushing 193 bhp! But who cares really about power! The zx14 looks like shite! Where's the BMW is sex on wheels!

[Dreadzedan]

@BeansOnGhost yeah take away those headlights that bike is freaking sexy actually. the lines are really good. check out the race version without the lights, awesomeness. and they sell light-less front racing fairings made of carbon.

[paulmoiseau]

hells yeah love it

[aw3t464747]

The cockeyed is faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast!!!!

[CarmineD187]

Hand warms are clearly the best improvment!!! More bikes need it i hate freezing my hands in the fall and early april!!

[Bulgdoom]

@CarmineD187

They need to make hand guards, for sportbikes, its the wind that chills you most. Or heated gloves, because the bar heaters aren't that effective, your fingers still freeze on the outside where the wind hits them

[tristan17schulz]

@SportsSavage do you think that the bmw is still the fastest ?

[zhen19922]

cool

[1gnasty]

lmaooo he said u need to be troy corser to get everyhting out the bike but troy cant even get that bike on the podium well see if the new chasy changes that ???

[katana258]

oh yes i want then grip warmers that close's the deal for me... and the pointed clear tail lights wow

[89powerup]

zx still more powerful though lol. Then he lied by saying the most powerful engine. That new 14 is pushing out 210hp. Once air gets into, it'll be more powerful than that for sure. Just like the with zx10r. It may not seem all that powerful from a stand still but once it gets moving, bmw just hangs in the back lol. I saw a few pro racing where the bmw was getting owned. Not just by the zx either lol. Alex lowes was kicking its ass. The guy on the isle of man was beating it up as well.

[niceguyharry46]

@89powerup Stop comparing ZX14 toBMW 1000rr....that bike is 400cc more...and looks like SHIT....handles shit too....if u compare it to a litre bike

[tristan17schulz]

@niceguyharry46 your right !! =) xD

[niceguyharry46]

@tristan17schulz Thanks man : )

[niceguyharry46]

@89powerup and if u r only concerned about results ..then look also at WSBK results...kawasaki sucks there too..according to SBK thing...v all shud buy Ducati LMAO..

[BeansOnGhost]

Rain mode is 163bhp but I do like my 2011 Motorsport better than the new 2012 colours.

[BeansOnGhost]

@gac785 your just jealous you don't have one! Ride the bike and see/feel it you dumb arse!

[alehax27]

I think it's a hot looking bike. The asymmetrical lights make it unique in my opinion.

[tristan17schulz]

ive heard that the 2012 MV agusta f4 is the fastest this 2012. is it true ?

[aswardon]

the sounds sexy..

[supersayin1]

This bike is extra sexy!! And Please BMW don't ever change the headlights!! It's what makes this bike stand out, and it's pretty cool!!!

[hackneo64]

rod stewarts little brother

[uber0demon0tongue]

Just when my pops was beginning to think the new ZX10 was THE liter bike. Ah well competition is good, brighter future for liter bikes

[gac785]

i do like the red black and silver paint scheme tho

[jason60051]

Asymmetrical headlights were done for a reason. First they set the bike apart from the crowd and secondly to save weight.

[gac785]

@jason60051 Lets be real...how much weight could that possibly save. the only people who could possibly benefit from such a minor weight difference are super bike racers and they don't run with lights on their bikes. it looks retarded and so do the asymmetrical plastics. Bmw went way out of their way to make the s1000 look radical, and what they got is a bike that looks like shit.

[supersayin1]

@jason60051 AMEN!!

[freethug]

lol at like 2:15 he has his under armor shirt on backwards...

[zseries32]

@freethug he is supposed to show the Under Armor logo...

[edmaluf]

2 years later and I still hate the asymmetrical headlights.

[dracdrum]

@edmaluf agreed, it may perform, but it is ugly.

[Dreadzedan]

@edmaluf yip made a bike with such beautiful lines and then plant those things on it.

[noodlespudz]

@edmaluf I own one, and I also hate them!

[a6km]

@edmaluf 2 years later and I still dont give a fuck about those headlights

[dominatingCHAMP1ON]

@edmaluf ino i dnt no why bmdub didnt tke or advise cuz om prettys sure 90% hate the ugly head lights even 2012's jus came out hope fully dey take or advise for 2013;))

[buckwheat40]

@edmaluf well you're wrong, at first i didnt like the headlights either but now I like them, i think it looks very cool now and different. BMW knows style. you don't!

[rkrayton2000]

heated handgrips for a sport bike. Love it!!!

[6488ott]

welcome back on the review scene for sportbikes, motorcycle. And a good job too. In my opinion the best reviewer, the best review source and the best bike.....well done!

[CAJFB]

WOW!!!!!I definitely need to give BMW some much needed respect for what they have accomplished in the revised bike that has been produced!!!!!!Great job!

[MrMatt9O00]

do some onboard footage

[shadowxps]

Yeah holy fuck. Dream bike right here.

[StokedBeastMotoDr]

BANG POW
