BMW gives superbike riders the best of both worlds with its tech-heavy S 1000 RR superbike ($22,195 as tested). Designed for competition but outfitted with street-friendly accoutrement, this Berlin-built streetbike makes a good argument for a sportbike that can do it all

SportsTranscript
00:00 Hey folks good morning and welcome to this episode of Motorcyclists MC commute.
00:05 Today we're gonna be riding BMW's 2021 s1000RR superbike. So let's swing a
00:12 leg over this bad boy and tell you what it's like to ride. Alright folks here it
00:16 is BMW's 2021 s1000RR superbike. This is BMW Motorrad's top-of-the-line
00:25 liter class sport bike. Now this particular model debuted for the 2009
00:32 model year and when it came out it blew the doors off the liter class superbike
00:38 competition. It was not even close how far ahead this s1000RR was to other
00:45 models at that time. Fast forward to today BMW gave this motorcycle a full
00:53 overhaul for the 2020 model year here in the States. New engine, new chassis, new
01:00 suspension, new electronics. BMW threw the kitchen sink at this motorcycle and
01:08 look at it this thing looks so awesome. Let's turn on the LED so you can see
01:14 them LED insight lights. This bike reminds me a lot of the Desmo
01:19 Cedici d16RR. The way the headlights are positioned there, that front fairing
01:25 minus that center air intake. A very aesthetically pleasing motorcycle. I like
01:31 that BMW continued to use its signature shark gills right here. That is a very
01:37 nice touch. Look at that works racing style swing arm. That upside-down swing
01:43 arm. This swing arm looks like a works world superbike racing component that
01:48 BMW Motorrad was using a few years ago. Look at those carbon fiber wheels. Yes
01:54 this motorcycle is endowed with BMW's M package which fits carbon fiber front
02:03 and rear wheels, a lithium-ion battery and this nice M badging on the seat. Not
02:11 only do these wheels look totally awesome but my gosh they make the
02:16 motorcycle handle so agilely. You just be amazed at how agile this 427 pound
02:24 liter class bike is. That's definitely one of the highlights of this motorcycle
02:29 to me is its supreme agility. This motorcycle is outfitted in the M package
02:37 which we just talked about. It also has the select package which is mandatory
02:42 when you buy the M package. The select package adds cruise control, heated grips
02:48 and a bunch of little things that you want when you're riding your liter class
02:54 superbike on the street. But enough talking about this thing let's swing a
02:58 leg over it and tell you what it's like to ride. Alright folks here we are at the
03:03 controls of BMW's mighty 2021 S1000RR and look a good old-fashioned
03:10 mechanical key. Thank You BMW I am very pleased right now. Listen to that thing. I
03:18 love these S1000RR's because even though they employ a sort of conventional
03:28 inline-four, conventional firing order, inline-four, water-cooled, 16 valve, these
03:34 things have a sound and a character all their own. This is a very racy feeling
03:42 engine but we'll get to that in a minute. Let's start off with the ergonomics. Now
03:48 these S1000RR's have historically always been a taller, larger rider
03:57 friendly motorcycle. If you're a taller human being you will generally fit very
04:03 well at the helm of this machine. Now the Motorrad engineers in Germany that were
04:11 behind the original S1000RR and the 2012, I'm sorry was 2012, maybe 2013 I can't
04:23 quite remember, update, actually were taller dudes. So they of course wanted a
04:30 motorcycle that they could actually fit on, hence that original S1000RR was
04:36 always just orientated towards larger fellas. Now this 2020 and 2021 model is a
04:46 little bit more compact. So the cockpit has been slimmed down slightly. You know
04:54 I'm six foot tall and I still feel fairly comfortable at the controls. I
04:59 love how wide the clip-on style handlebar is positioned. Other modern
05:07 sport bikes have a little bit more inward clip-on bend. This thing has got a
05:13 real racy, more aggressive wide stance which I like. The clip-on positioning is
05:20 maybe a scant higher than the old bike but it's not so high to make it not a
05:28 racy feel. What I really like is how the ergonomics on this bike are very flat.
05:32 The seat and the clip-ons almost feel like they're in line with each other.
05:38 It's a very flat neutral riding position. The rider foot pegs, they are tucked up
05:46 fairly high. There are definitely other super bikes in this segment with more
05:51 relaxed foot control placement but I like the ergonomics on this motorcycle.
05:58 Yeah they're a little bit aggressive for street use but they are not so
06:03 aggressive that riding this bike on the street is out of the question. Now this
06:09 S1000RR has the up spec M package. So we have that nice embossed M seat and while
06:18 that seat looks very nice it's actually kind of hard and firm. It's probably one
06:24 of the weak points in the overall comfort of this motorcycle. The seat
06:30 definitely wears you out a little bit faster than it would on other super
06:35 bikes but at the same time the seat is so sparsely padded that it gives you
06:41 really good rear shock feel which isn't something you want so much on the street
06:47 but on the track that is very helpful.
06:51 Now this S1000RR is powered by BMW's 999 CCi4. 16 valve dual red cams.
07:02 BMW overhauled this powertrain for the 2020 model year. The engine is smaller, it
07:12 is lighter and it is more powerful. Now BMW really blew the competition out of
07:19 the water with this original 2009 S1000RR engine and this this powertrain
07:26 continues to impress with its hard-hitting performance. BMW has added
07:34 its variable intake cam technology. They call it shift cam. This is
07:42 technology that was debuted on the 2019 R1250GS. Watch the video that we did
07:52 from that motorcycle review that has a good video demonstration of how shift
07:56 cam works. Basically what it is it's an intake cam shift with a different set of
08:02 lobes. So it has one set of lobes for low to mid rpm and then another set of lobes
08:07 for high rpm. So at 9,000 rpm the intake cam actually shifts position and goes
08:15 into high-low phase and that allows you to get good bottom-end engine
08:22 performance and fuel economy below 9,000 rpm and then a good top-end rush of
08:30 horsepower above 9,000 rpm. BMW says that that camshaft moves in less than 10
08:38 milliseconds. You can't feel it when it actuates. It's very smooth.
08:44 Now while this bike has that feature to give the riders the best of both worlds,
08:50 it has a peculiar electronic eliminator here in the United States. Now when
08:57 you're riding this bike in second or third gears the engine has a restriction
09:03 where it won't give you full power between 6,000 and 8,000 rpm and that was
09:09 done to comply with US noise and emissions requirements. So when you're
09:16 giving this bike the beans it will accelerate until 6,000 rpm. From 6,000 to 8,000 it
09:23 pulls the power back in second and third gears. Now for some of you that ride this
09:30 motorcycle as a street bike you may not even feel it. You know if you short shift
09:34 the engine and just lug it around town all the time and don't really get on the
09:38 gas or give the beans you can very well not even feel this this restriction. But
09:45 for me and more sporty riders who really want to feel the 183 horsepower of this
09:51 engine you're gonna feel it. Fortunately there is a company out of Texas
09:59 BMWHP.com. They are able to unlock the programming on this motorcycle and
10:08 delete this restriction. To do this you have to send them the ECU, the ignition
10:15 key, this ignition key module, and this display. You send them the four
10:20 things, pay them $850 and they will send it to you back unlocked. That
10:26 restriction is deleted and the bike will make 20 more horsepower at the tire. Isn't
10:32 that crazy? So it goes from around 183 to 203 horsepower with $850. Absolutely
10:40 unbelievable. The only caveat of this is it voids your manufacturer's three-year
10:47 36,000 mile warranty. So that warranty is avoided unfortunately. But it's the price
10:57 you have to pay if you want your S1000RR to run like it's supposed to.
11:06 A six-speed gearbox puts power back to the 200 series Michelin Power RS tire.
11:18 Now this S1000RR is fitted with Michelin's Power RS tire. I'm not a big
11:25 fan of this tire. The power cups on bikes like the 890 Duke R, that is a good tire.
11:33 This tire is a little bit older. It's questionable performance at best. So one
11:39 of the first things I would do if this bike was mine would be to ditch these
11:42 Power RS tires and put on a set of Michelin Power cups or a set of tires
11:47 from Bridgestone or Dunlop or Pirelli. Probably Bridgestone. Bridgestone's
11:52 doing really good things with this Batlax S22 street tire. I would probably
11:56 fit that tire on. The pricing's real competitive too. Now this M-Spec S1000RR
12:04 also rolls on carbon fiber wheels. Carbon fiber production wheels. It's the first
12:10 motorcycle in the world to ever roll on production carbon fiber wheels. And not
12:16 only do the wheels just look totally awesome, but they just make this
12:20 motorcycle so maneuverable. It is crazy the agility of this liter class superbike,
12:26 which we'll talk to talk about in a little bit. Now with that $3,750
12:35 M package, which includes the seat, the lithium-ion battery, the carbon
12:43 fiber wheels, and BMW's Ride Mode Pro. Ride Mode Pro system, which allows you to
12:53 adjust the electronics and you have access to the ability to adjust the
13:01 engine mode in the race configuration. Right now we have it disabled because we
13:09 have our iOS powered smartphone paired to the motorcycle, which we're gonna get
13:16 to in a little bit. But with the Ride Mode Pro option, you have the ability to
13:24 tweak engine power, combined engine power and throttle response. You can adjust
13:30 traction control, wheelie control, engine brake control, and ABS. And it gives you
13:38 three maps. Three maps where you can put in each setting you want. You also have
13:46 the ability to adjust globally the semi-active dynamic damping control of
13:55 the fork and shock. Now dynamic damping control is part of the select package.
14:03 And the select package is a mandatory package that you have to get with the M
14:08 package. So if you're getting M package for $3,750, you get Ride Mode Pro, carbon
14:13 fiber wheels, M seat, lithium-ion battery. You also have to have the select package,
14:19 which includes tire pressuring monitor system, which I love. It also includes
14:25 cruise control, heated grips, and dynamic damping control. That is $1,450. A $50
14:34 increase compared to the 2020 model year. The M package is also $50 more
14:40 expensive than 2020. This brings this motorcycle to a cost of $2,200. I'm
14:48 sorry, $22,200 for this 2021 S1000RR, which is great value if you ask me.
14:55 But I love the ability to tailor the dynamic of this motorcycle. The engine
15:03 power, the engine brake, the traction control. I like highest engine power on
15:10 this. I like the least amount of engine brake because this bike has such
15:14 excellent brakes. I love ABS on front with ABS rear disabled so I can do my
15:20 slides and my endos. I also like wheelie control disabled. I can do all of that in
15:26 the menu. I can also adjust the suspension and pull out all of the
15:31 compression and rebound damping from the shock and turn the fork DMP setting to
15:37 the lowest, which improves the ride quality. Now this semi-active suspension
15:43 on this bike, it works fairly well but it is not as versatile feeling as other
15:52 manufacturers in the class. There's a pesky tuning fork vehicle with second
16:00 gen Ohlin semi-active suspension which just totally kicks butt and this
16:06 suspension doesn't perform quite as well as that package. But it still offers a
16:12 great degree of adjustability. Of course you can't manually set the damping. It's
16:21 always going to be semi-active and make adjustments based on rider control
16:28 input and the dynamic of the vehicle. It would be nice if you could just lock in
16:33 a setting like you can on other manufacturers semi-active suspension
16:38 packages. But for riders who just want to be able to put gas in it and go and
16:43 don't want to have to mess around with with clicker adjustments and just want
16:47 the machine to do it for them, this DDC package works well for that. Though it
16:53 isn't the best semi-active suspension package in the class at this time.
17:02 Now this motorcycle has a bi-directional electronic quick shifter that makes it
17:08 easy to run through the gearbox on this bike. BMW has fitted a bi-directional
17:13 electronic quick shifter since the 2015 model year. And these quick shifters are
17:19 so awesome because they just allow for excellent corner entry stability with
17:25 the chassis. That little delay where you have to release the clutch and blip the
17:29 throttle and the rear tire becomes unloaded for a split second during
17:35 corner entry, an electronic quick shifter completely eliminates that. And that
17:40 allows this bike just to haul butt during corner entry. Speaking of corner
17:46 entry, we rode this motorcycle in the canyons, we rode it at the racetrack.
17:51 This motorcycle, it is insane how agile this 427 pound S1000RR M-spec bike is.
18:01 This is easily the most agile leader class superbike at this time. There is no
18:08 motorcycle that can out-turn this bike. It is insanely agile. I love being able
18:16 to put this motorcycle exactly where I want with very little effort. We talked
18:23 about the suspension. The suspension continues to be a little bit
18:27 questionable even on the racetrack, but you can't knock the sheer versatility
18:35 that DDC offers. We're gonna set cruise control. That's right, this bike has cruise
18:40 control. I love cruise control. S1000RRs have had that feature for quite some
18:45 time now and it is awesome. Set it and forget it. I also like that you can enable
18:51 cruise control at triple digit speeds. There are other motorcycles out there
18:55 that electronically limit you and won't allow you to do that. Not BMW. There's
19:00 also heated grips. The heated grips work excellently on a chilly day and make
19:05 riding more comfortable.
19:09 Now we talked a little bit about having this motorcycle
19:18 paired to our iOS enabled smartphone. BMW has a ride connected app.
19:25 Download the app. It's free. Sign up. You pair easily your phone to the motorcycle
19:32 with it powered on and the motorcycle is paired to your phone. With the BMW ride
19:38 connected app you can check service intervals. You can actually schedule a
19:43 service appointment. You can check your fuel level. You can record your
19:49 riding routes. You can see the weather where the bike is parked. You can also,
19:56 and this feature is totally awesome in my opinion, is you can literally have
20:02 turn-by-turn navigation that you enter through the app that displays right here
20:07 on this beautiful 6.5 inch color TFT display. So now you have turn-by-turn
20:13 directions navigation right on the display. You don't need to have Bluetooth
20:18 paired to your, you can. You can actually pair your Bluetooth enabled headset to
20:25 the motorcycle and have turn-by-turn directions displayed here with audio to
20:31 your headset. It is unbelievable the technology that this bike brings to the
20:37 table. And not only the technology it brings to the table, how easy and simple
20:41 it is to use. And the best part, it's free. You just download the app and you just
20:46 use it. This 6.5 inch color TFT display is used on all BMW Motorrad
20:56 motorcycles now except for this budget G310R and G310GS. This display is
21:03 awesome. It's easy to read. It's colorful. It's a very legible day or night. It's
21:08 crisp. It has fast booting sequence. There's no delay when you're
21:13 using the BMW multi-wheel menu function. Here is some of the menu functions here
21:20 I like. There is the navigation component. We can add the navigation either here or
21:26 on our phone. How cool is that? That is so awesome.
21:31 We can select a sport instrument panel setting which gives lean angle, traction
21:38 control, brake input. So this is more for the track but it's still nice that BMW
21:43 has it. We also have the my vehicle setting which gives us all the settings
21:48 of the vehicle, our range, our tire pressure which is a little bit low in
21:53 the rear. We did a track day not too long ago on this motorcycle and I aired down
21:59 the Michelin Power RS's for track duty and I didn't air them up enough for the
22:05 street use. Again 28.3 that's not even though it's out of OEM
22:10 specification. It's still within my specification. 30.1 in the front's a tad
22:15 low in the front. 32 would be a little bit better but again it's still within
22:20 my specification of use for a sport bike motorcycle tire. We can also look at the
22:27 onboard computer see how long we've ridden, how long our current mileage is,
22:32 our fuel mileage average. We've averaged 31 miles per gallon not the best fuel
22:37 mileage. I'm sorry we've actually averaged 34.5. 34.5 on this motorcycle
22:43 still not the best but when you have 183 horsepower and you have an electronic
22:49 quick shifter that loves going through the six-speed gearbox it's easy to burn
22:54 gas on this motorcycle. Very nice electronics package BMW you guys have
23:02 killed it. It's also worth mentioning that this bike has Hill Start Control
23:08 just like Honda's Goldwing. If you are parked at an incline the motorcycle
23:13 actually actuate the rear brake so the motorcycle does not roll back when you
23:18 release the clutch of this motorcycle. Now the Hill Start Control is a little
23:24 silly to me to have on a liter class superbike but it's still nice that BMW's
23:29 are paying attention to the details and trying to make an inclusive superbike
23:35 that all people can ride. Good job Motorrad team.
23:41 Brakes on this motorcycle.
23:53 Brakes on this motorcycle. Triple hydraulic disc brakes with ABS
24:01 with cornering ABS function. I love the brakes on this motorcycle. They are
24:06 extremely powerful. Hayes makes the four piston radial mount
24:11 caliper on this bike. Nissan is the master cylinder manufacturer and the
24:17 brakes on this bike are just they are so powerful. I love the ABS programming.
24:23 There is different levels of ABS programming so if you want rear ABS
24:27 enabled you can. If you want cornering ABS function enabled you can. Of course if
24:33 you want a real aggressive braking package where the rear ABS is disabled
24:36 and you can brake at a very very high level before ABS starts to intervene you
24:41 can have that setting too. The rear brake also has good power good feel. I'm a big
24:48 rear brake guy. Doesn't matter if I'm riding dirt bikes or street bikes I am
24:53 on that rear brake all the time and I love motorcycles that have good strong
24:57 powerful rear brakes. Good job BMW. Brakes on this bike kick butt. Now we rode this
25:03 motorcycle after dark and the LED headlamps are some of the best LED
25:12 headlamps we've tested with at night on a sport bike. They do a great job of
25:18 illuminating the road ahead in a straight line but because this motorcycle
25:23 is so adept at cornering you are going to be going through corners very quickly
25:28 at night on this motorcycle and this bike does not have cornering headlamps
25:33 which is strange because it has an IMU. This motorcycle has the hardware to
25:39 supply positional awareness so technically BMW could rather easily fit
25:45 cornering headlamps on this bike but it does not have that. BMW for the love of
25:51 God could we please have cornering headlamp technology on this vehicle. We love
25:55 going fast through the corners at night on this bike and we're at lean. It's really hard to
26:00 see where we're going just because the motorcycle is pitched over so far and
26:04 pitched on its nose so far that the headlamps are rather ineffective. Cornering
26:09 headlamps would be a good addition but in a straight line these headlamps are
26:14 no joke. They do a great job of illuminating the road ahead. LED brake
26:20 lights and turn signals are also awesome. I love that the brake lights are
26:23 integrated neatly into the turn signals so there really is no conventional tail
26:29 light mounted in the tail section. It looks so clean, so tidy and that's an OE
26:35 feature. Good job BMW. Now cruising here at 68 miles per hour we
26:42 definitely have some engine vibration. This S1000RR powertrain has
26:47 historically always been a very vibey engine. Now while that isn't so awesome
26:54 for everyday street riding it does give the engine good character. This engine's
26:59 got a lot of character. When the thing is zinging on the pipe it just delivers all
27:03 the right sounds. The view from the rear view mirrors is definitely decent but
27:10 the engine vibration does cloud the vision of the mirrors a little bit. You
27:14 also feel the vibration through the controls, the handle, the clip-ons
27:20 and the foot pegs. The vibration isn't too bad at this running speed but you
27:25 downshift a couple gears and you really feel it. At 8,000 rpm and above you feel
27:30 the vibes. Again because this engine is so high
27:35 performance and so charismatic and I just love it I'm not gonna knock BMW for
27:41 having a lot of vibration on this engine but there's definitely super bikes out
27:44 there with less vibration.
27:48 Now this motorcycle is built in Berlin Germany and the fit and finish and
27:55 attention to build quality on this bike is stupendous. This motorcycle is so well
28:00 put together and even with its high level of craftsmanship BMW affords a
28:10 three-year 36,000 mile with roadside assistance on this vehicle. Isn't that
28:16 crazy? So not only is it built super Ford tough they actually back it with
28:22 automobile like warranty. It's unbelievable.
28:27 Maintenance wise this motorcycle is also built to last. After its initial 600 mile
28:35 service it requires engine oil and filter changes every 6,000 miles. So
28:43 every 6,000 miles you drop the oil filter and the engine oil you also
28:47 replace the air filter insert at that time. At 18,000 miles BMW says you need
28:54 to inspect the 16 valve valve train. Isn't that crazy? A motorcycle the
29:00 engine that revs to 14,600 rpm makes 183 horsepower at the tire stock and can go
29:09 18,000 miles between valve adjustment interval. That is just insane to me. Good
29:17 job BMW you guys are kicking butt. Alright folks we have enabled our
29:23 racetrack mode here at the stop sign that we just stopped at. You guys missed
29:30 that but now we have our racetrack mode enabled that automatically deactivates
29:36 the Bluetooth pairing function of the phones. Now our phone is no longer paired
29:41 to this device. It also deletes all the other riding mode maps. It has rain, road,
29:50 dynamic and race and now we just have race. We have race pro 1 which is custom.
29:57 We have race pro 2 which is custom and we have race pro 3 which is custom. I am
30:04 running 3. This is maximum power setting, least amount of engine brake, least
30:10 amount of ABS, the softest fastest suspension response which gives us in
30:17 theory the more plush action that we want in a street environment and that is
30:24 the setting I like for general street riding. Now we've made a big deal about
30:32 this on other motorcycles. Case in point the GSXR 1000R that we reviewed a
30:40 couple episodes ago. Now one thing that BMW is really good about is its finite
30:47 adjustment of its traction control system. Now BMW has been doing this for a
30:52 long time. I think ever since it unveiled this HP4 for the 2013 model year they
30:59 had finite traction control adjustment and what that means is right now we are
31:04 riding in the lowest global traction control setting. So the least traction
31:10 control restriction is what this motorcycle is operating with. But with this DTC
31:14 button here we can actually further increase traction control. Incrementally
31:20 it'll still be at a low level and we can also pull it back to a lower level. Now
31:27 this setting while it's pretty silly for street if you are a racer or a very
31:33 advanced track day rider you're gonna want this setting. This is really gonna
31:38 allow you to tailor in the traction control, the wheel spin setting for the
31:45 way you like, for the way you want the rear tire to interact with the pavement.
31:51 This is a huge deal for advanced level riders and BMW has offered it for quite
31:59 some time now. Good job BMW! We see that you're paying attention to the details
32:04 and we are too. Alright folks that was a very fun day of riding on the S1000RR
32:13 2021 model year vehicle. I really adore this motorcycle. When I first started
32:21 riding it I've always been a big BMW S1000RR fan but that second and third
32:27 gear restriction between 6 and 8 thousand rpm has historically been a
32:32 deal-breaker. But now I know that BMW HP out of Texas will fix that problem for
32:39 $850. Yes it will void the warranty but I wouldn't care. I would still do it just
32:45 because I know this motorcycle is built so well that the chances of some kind of
32:51 mechanical defect happening in this motorcycle during the first three years
32:55 is very slim in my opinion. So I absolutely would buy that upgrade for
33:03 this bike. I just love this motorcycle. It looks awesome. It is built Ford
33:08 tough. It has all the bells and whistles even though this is a competition
33:14 specification machine. I love how BMW has beautifully integrated high-end
33:20 technology and electronics on this motorcycle to make it a good street bike.
33:26 Yes this is a good street bike just because BMW made it that way with its
33:31 adept electronics package. Would I spend $22,200 on this bike? You bet you I
33:38 would. This motorcycle brings tremendous value in the class. You have to remember
33:44 other manufacturers, leader class super bikes, premium, the up spec models cost
33:50 well over $22,200. Well over this motorcycle. This thing is made in Berlin
33:57 Germany. It's very high quality. Has tons of power. All electronics. $22,200. I
34:02 would buy this motorcycle. Then I would take off the electronics to get them
34:07 remapped for additional $850 and have a 200 horsepower at the back tire super
34:13 bike to ride on the street. Well folks that's a wrap of today's MC Commute
