man , my heart was beating each time you , were cutting through London traffic nice to see London through a bikers perspective and a very awesome bike man that's some power
as far as I've searched every where,your video is the only one with folding mirrors to get through traffic. I live in Bangkok and the traffic is hectic. Thanks so much for showing this point out so clear!
one of the more informative and well explained reviews I've seen on the bike. good video, thanks for sharing. I did noticed your thoughts and feelings about the bike changed a bit from the first review but that is to be expected with more seat time. Now I just need to make the wife think I need one. lol
I believe you've just about talked yourself into buying this machine Baron. i look forward to the video where you reveal your new R!! Please keep the GS as well as I do love your trips through the Alps. :)
Great video, Baron. I know I have now posted several comments like this and never gotten a reply, but I believe you're reading them, so it's alright. I am so happy with the new frequency of uploads, mate. It makes me so happy to see a notification that you uploaded a video, and even more so when I see it's a 19 minute video. I literally cooked dinner after seeing the notification to eat as I watched this video. Thank you so much for all the awesomeness, mate. And even more importantly, it makes me so happy to see that you're happy. All the best wishes, Arthur.
I approve of these reviews Mr Baron! Jealousy mode engages every time and I shout "lucky c*unt" and "bastard" a lot, but overall they are great! Keep 'em coming kind sir. Many Thanks, Mark
Great video Baron. Makes me think of it as the BSA DBD34 Goldstar of today, built for going fast. If you could find somebody who would lend you one to compare it to and see how superbikes have developed/changed over the years that would be awesome. Other bikes like the original Triumph Bonneville T120, the Honda CB750 and things like the Kawasaki H2 750 and then moving eventually to get to the 1999 R1 and Ducati 916 e.t.c. That would be a cool series to watch
You certainly have city riding nailed impressed, haven't got a bike anymore but this video just makes me want one if only for city riding. Amazing looking bike, great video :-)
Thanks for the London tour,i havnt been there for about 28 years,i am more of a bicycle type of guy although i did have a moped derbi variant which i souped up in spain but i enjoy this vid for sure cheers geez.
Good rounded view and I must say, lovely bike!! I'm sure you have you have filtered past me a times on your GSXR but I'll definitely know if it you should I see you this beast.
there are a few pretty important things you missed about the non m to the m version. one thing is there are some lighter bits in the motor that help it rev quicker on the M
I do love that R1M but I still like my 09 R1 for now, great feeling bike and still perfect for our shite roads in the UK, maybe in a few years when they come down in price a bit aswell. :)
I'm after a new 1,000cc+ machine, apparently there's rumours that Triumph have an all new radically designed, bonkers looking, spec'd to the core 1050cc Daytona (R) Supersports coming for 2016, if that doesn't happen then I might seriously consider the R1M. Man, it looks and sounds the part! Keep the cool videos coming, Baron. Safe riding! :)
Another vlogger (JakeTheGardenSnake) argued recently the big obstacle with Superbikes on the road: If you're having any fun on them, you're breaking the law, because they just don't want to know any slower than that. I can tell you like it.
I just bought a base 2015 model. Rode it for about a total of 4 hours and already love it. Came with a full Yosh system and an FT quickshifter/auto-blipper. Throttle definitely takes a bit of getting used to because of the momentary delay, but it's nice not to have to be millimetrically precise - just twist and trust the electronics. First gear is unnecessarily long, maxing out at 162km/h, and I think they did it for statistical considerations - 0-100mph without having to change gear, shaves fractions off that common benchmark...RSV4 has the same kind of long first gear. I have my first track day on it at the end of February and I'm beside myself from excitement.
Sounds like scooterbro's are the same everywhere D: I had one break off my indicator trying to squeeze his bike in a gap between me and another bike. I actually needed that room to stand the bike UP to get it out of the spot as well...
Your analogy about the bike having a job to do but not liking you gave me a laugh. I envision sitting on it doing the whole I love my bike while it's pi**ed just wanting to go.
I love the new R1's when i rode one i fell in love with it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to ride the R1M yet. 😔 The brushed aluminum tank looks awesome along with the carbon accents. 👌🏻💯
As a car-less lover of superbikes; I am really enjoying the very informative "Everyday Bike?" series. At the risk of mass-castigation from your cool-dude audience; might I request comments on the luggage system for future episodes in this series?
I need A NEW JIZZ MACHINE sticker! I think those should still be made and sold with the same color options and font. I need that chrome Jizz Machine sticker. I had a chrome and gold one but that was YEARS ago on my s1000rr...
A beacon that shoots into space saying: "Steal me!" ... Epic! ... I parked up in front of Metropolis in Vauxhall and was constantly worried someone would steal it... London for you.
Baron, you seem to be doing quite a few of these test rides recently. Will you do any rides of bikes that are lower down the food chain? I'm looking to do my A2 in Spring and not sure what bike to look at.
how tall are you? im 6foot4 thinking of getting a r1m but not sure if its to small for i currentoy have a s1000rr 2016 and tye size of that is fine for me even tho i look big on it lol what do you think?
On the how sexy that bike looks: if you deck it out fully with the Giles levers, rearset kit, foot pegs and the amazing and intimidating Acropovic Slip on this bike looks sexier than anything else.
Born in the permafrost I guess with your colds... It was funny to see you not even getting into third gear more than once or twice in almost 20 minutes of video :D #gladtohaveyouback
Nice vid Baron. This bike strikes me as a track bike you don't need a trailer to get to the circuit with, and anything more than that is just pointless, in the same way you could use a surgeon's thermal scalpel to cut up your steak in the evening, but you just.. don't
I reckon you would be suited for your main road bike for buzzing about you should have the MT10SP with full Akropovic and woolich Ecu flash and blipper, launch control like mine. If you ever want to borrow it for a few days let me know 👍
Baron I am really Curious about what are your thoughts on the 2015 geneeration R1/R1M vs the S1000rr as a daily/fun bike (track considerations and track performance as considered only as a secondary criteria) Was Really thinking about picking up an S1k but the new R1 and Zx10 seem to offer so much of the same features
What's going on Baron, just a quick question for you. Your thumbnails are generally from a moving shot in the video - for example, filtering between vehicles. Do you go through the 60fps footage produced by the drift and save the image? The reason I ask is because your thumbnails are always very clear/good quality and considering get the Ghost S. Saving a frame from 30fps footage comes out terrible for me.. (Drift HD 1080P) and considering get the Ghost S.
+EvolutionMotovlogs every thumb i ever generate is from the video. Its a bit of a rule i have - i HATE it when they are different. The only one i did do was the 1199 everyday video, but that was a while back ;) Yes, i screen grab it from the raw video - not sure what to advise you - 60fps and 30 makes little difference. Actually, i think 30 could be better as less motion blur..
OCD Kicking in there eyy, I've seen that you've got a few which aren't from the video hehe! We are much alike though, I ALWAYS use a screenshot from the footage in relation to the title - makes sense right ;)? However my problem is they don't usually come out in great quality and very blury. (1080p 30fps footage). Yours seem to be crystal clear and presumed if that was down to Ghost S (since there are more frames). Anyway, if you go on to my channel you will see what I am referring to with my thumbnails! If you've got a spare second, check a video out and drop some feedback. Would be appreciated man! :D
So, you ride in the city, away from the city, and in sometimes inclement weather - any chance you could go over your standard choice of gear? (Choice of jacket, shoes, gloves). Really enjoy your channel which I recently discovered. Cheers!
Please do a more detailed video on the R1M suspension, - how well can it cope with lousy roads; do different comp/rebound setting work in these scenarios and how good or bad is the R1M compared to the 2015+ S1000RR on such surfaces? If the argument is the R!M a track bike, then how does it cope with bumpy tracks?
this is my miss account . But I was wondering what's the difference in performance, handling ,and just usability of a gsxr1000k7 -k8 which I no you had one .To the modern sports bikes like bmw s1000rr or r1 2015 etc. is it a big leap forward and would it be noticeable on the road or not . I'm new to your site and I no its a old bike.
Yet another eminently watchable , funny and real world practical review from the Maestro.
3am - I was going to bed...... shouldn't have checked for New Videos :) You Sir shall be the source of my morning British Crankiness
+LexFitness - TeamBOOMBabY! and you sir shall be the source of my man boob reduction motivations..!
***** Haha Deal buddy
RULE 1: SINGLE Bloody Decker :)
Lex Fitness I ordered mine today 😊
Where you at.
Another video. Thanks Baron for keeping me entertained through tough times.
+One Man And His Bike thanks for watching :)
BaronVonGrumble don't know if yoiuve stated it in a previous video but how does the r1 and r1m I your opinion compare to the s1000rr?
Witty, informative, and articulate. You're helping remove the disdain I feel about most youtube motorcycle blogs one video at a time. Cheers.
Always look forward to these! Another great video!
man , my heart was beating each time you , were cutting through London traffic nice to see London through a bikers perspective and a very awesome bike man that's some power
Cracking video!! Probably one of the best videos I've seen for this bike :) good job!
+Tbark24 Vlogs thanks bud :)
I have no idea what we did but thank you for all the inflow of videos later Mr Baron. Keep up the awesome work and loving the videos!!
Rainy evening indoors. Time for throwback Baron Von Grumble videos
Great video and review! Keep up the amazing work baron!
as far as I've searched every where,your video is the only one with folding mirrors to get through traffic. I live in Bangkok and the traffic is hectic. Thanks so much for showing this point out so clear!
Great to see the bike reviews again and the inevitable BaronVonCold. Love the videos :D

+Arthur Sperotto thanks Arthur :)
Thanks for your view point. It was nice to see you go through city traffic as well.
Insane how great the weather is in this video, particularly when you notice the date. Looks like a spring morning.
Top video Baron...really enjoyed the review
I approve of these reviews Mr Baron! Jealousy mode engages every time and I shout "lucky c*unt" and "bastard" a lot, but overall they are great! Keep 'em coming kind sir. Many Thanks, Mark
love the city shots of you on the r1 that was a blast
Great video Baron. Makes me think of it as the BSA DBD34 Goldstar of today, built for going fast. If you could find somebody who would lend you one to compare it to and see how superbikes have developed/changed over the years that would be awesome.

Love seeing Barnes/Hammersmith pass by in all these vids, gives me a nostalgia wheelie-feelie
You certainly have city riding nailed impressed, haven't got a bike anymore but this video just makes me want one if only for city riding. Amazing looking bike, great video :-)
Thanks for the London tour,i havnt been there for about 28 years,i am more of a bicycle type of guy although i did have a moped derbi variant which i souped up in spain but i enjoy this vid for sure cheers geez.
great explanation of the lil tricks, tips. great video
Good rounded view and I must say, lovely bike!! I'm sure you have you have filtered past me a times on your GSXR but I'll definitely know if it you should I see you this beast.
Where did you borrow it from Mr B?
there are a few pretty important things you missed about the non m to the m version. one thing is there are some lighter bits in the motor that help it rev quicker on the M
Brilliant review great rider as well through all the traffic 👍
Love how you just ride where and when you want.. law, what law?
Also you're funny as fudge mate...
The penile metaphors were spot on. Great vid Baron
Wow watching this in 2022, I remember the good old days when Hammersmith bridge was open and petrol was only £1.25 per litre.
Nice bike, great review
I am happy the music is back :)
bloody brilliant!
Solid vlog Baron. Thanks.
I do love that R1M but I still like my 09 R1 for now, great feeling bike and still perfect for our shite roads in the UK, maybe in a few years when they come down in price a bit aswell. :)
Great video man!
I really like indicators in mirrors too, I wish my K2 had them.
I'm after a new 1,000cc+ machine, apparently there's rumours that Triumph have an all new radically designed, bonkers looking, spec'd to the core 1050cc Daytona (R) Supersports coming for 2016, if that doesn't happen then I might seriously consider the R1M. Man, it looks and sounds the part!
Keep the cool videos coming, Baron. Safe riding! :)
Amazing review 👌🏻
Lovely Ride &
MotoVlog ;)
Those Bikes are definitely
Next Level !!!
+Dracati Ducati thanks mate :)
+BaronVonGrumble when is the next bmw r100 video coming out?
+BaronVonGrumble sir do you have this kinda of video about a 2015 bmw s1000rr ? How good would be to commute.
G
It is good, very good: my real first bike and I put almost 15000 km on it since may 2016. Got my license in January 2016.
Another vlogger (JakeTheGardenSnake) argued recently the big obstacle with Superbikes on the road: If you're having any fun on them, you're breaking the law, because they just don't want to know any slower than that.
I can tell you like it.
+James Trimbee He's not wrong but if you are someone that likes the track then you like the SS bikes but in reality they are not made for the road.
supermotos are pretty much the same but instead of speed there are wheelies stoppies and any kind of hooliganism
+Alessandro Manica yoooo I never thought of that holy shit that's so true.
+McMuffinFluffin I realized that as soon as I hopped on my ktm hahaha
Loved the vid!
great vid Baron! Also what helmet do you ride with day to day?
I just bought a base 2015 model. Rode it for about a total of 4 hours and already love it. Came with a full Yosh system and an FT quickshifter/auto-blipper.
Throttle definitely takes a bit of getting used to because of the momentary delay, but it's nice not to have to be millimetrically precise - just twist and trust the electronics. First gear is unnecessarily long, maxing out at 162km/h, and I think they did it for statistical considerations - 0-100mph without having to change gear, shaves fractions off that common benchmark...RSV4 has the same kind of long first gear. I have my first track day on it at the end of February and I'm beside myself from excitement.
Funny that I bought mine, just as you sold yours. :D
Sounds like scooterbro's are the same everywhere D: I had one break off my indicator trying to squeeze his bike in a gap between me and another bike. I actually needed that room to stand the bike UP to get it out of the spot as well...
Love the tank!
Super vidéo, beau montage...
First video I have watched and you are hilarious fantastic watch mind banter 😂😂
Every Yamaha that I've owned even my old ttr90 has been cold blooded but as soon as there warm there just lovely machines that just wanna impress
oi baron - what you think is faster in a straight line 0-top speed 2015 S1000RR or R1M?
Love That Bike So Much. I have a Yamaha YZF R125, 2015 plate on it, in Race Blue !!!
Your analogy about the bike having a job to do but not liking you gave me a laugh. I envision sitting on it doing the whole I love my bike while it's pi**ed just wanting to go.
sounds like an amazing bike!
I love the new R1's when i rode one i fell in love with it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to ride the R1M yet. 😔 The brushed aluminum tank looks awesome along with the carbon accents. 👌🏻💯
They ride like the regular R1 s don't they?
Your filtering...
You sir, have a large pair of gonads.
Keep going baron! After a long time of watching, still enjoying it!
As a car-less lover of superbikes; I am really enjoying the very informative "Everyday Bike?" series. At the risk of mass-castigation from your cool-dude audience; might I request comments on the luggage system for future episodes in this series?
Baron, what's a good winter glove?
New rider just passed my test!
Probably the best bike reviews on the interwebs
TQ so much for the tour of london
I was expecting a BLOODY DOUBLE DECKER kind of intro :) but besides that very good review Baron
I need A NEW JIZZ MACHINE sticker! I think those should still be made and sold with the same color options and font. I need that chrome Jizz Machine sticker. I had a chrome and gold one but that was YEARS ago on my s1000rr...
A beacon that shoots into space saying: "Steal me!" ... Epic! ... I parked up in front of Metropolis in Vauxhall and was constantly worried someone would steal it... London for you.

Yup best review I seen
how tall are you? im 6foot4 thinking of getting a r1m but not sure if its to small for i currentoy have a s1000rr 2016 and tye size of that is fine for me even tho i look big on it lol what do you think?
I like that you ride trackmode on the dash in london traffic =)
baron whats your opinion on 600cc v 1000cc for everyday riding not sure if u have done any videos of r6 v r1 etc
On the how sexy that bike looks: if you deck it out fully with the Giles levers, rearset kit, foot pegs and the amazing and intimidating Acropovic Slip on this bike looks sexier than anything else.
Born in the permafrost I guess with your colds... It was funny to see you not even getting into third gear more than once or twice in almost 20 minutes of video :D #gladtohaveyouback
Great video baron👍. Anymore ktm super juke videos to come?
Nice vid Baron. This bike strikes me as a track bike you don't need a trailer to get to the circuit with, and anything more than that is just pointless, in the same way you could use a surgeon's thermal scalpel to cut up your steak in the evening, but you just.. don't
How many bikes have you been taken out on lane splitting?
I reckon you would be suited for your main road bike for buzzing about you should have the MT10SP with full Akropovic and woolich Ecu flash and blipper, launch control like mine. If you ever want to borrow it for a few days let me know 👍
@BaronVonGrumble is the throttle jerky like the 09-14 is? Mine acts the same way.
Things are that bad in London that you dont want to ride other than the gs??
Baron I am really Curious about what are your thoughts on the 2015 geneeration R1/R1M vs the S1000rr as a daily/fun bike
(track considerations and track performance as considered only as a secondary criteria)
Was Really thinking about picking up an S1k but the new R1 and Zx10 seem to offer so much of the same features
I want the new R1 sooooo bad :D :D :D

what was the depreciation from when you rode it off the forecourt?
So, you ride in the city, away from the city, and in sometimes inclement weather - any chance you could go over your standard choice of gear? (Choice of jacket, shoes, gloves). Really enjoy your channel which I recently discovered. Cheers!
Lovely jubbly rodders new Baron vid
This is the way..owned a 09 R1 and took a little bit of concentration at first for throttle but afterwards never a issue
Please do a more detailed video on the R1M suspension, - how well can it cope with lousy roads; do different comp/rebound setting work in these scenarios and how good or bad is the R1M compared to the 2015+ S1000RR on such surfaces?
If the argument is the R!M a track bike, then how does it cope with bumpy tracks?
I gotta say, I'm not keen on the R series, but I love the look of that speedo!
Are you thinking about getting that TOCE for the new R1?
this is my miss account . But I was wondering what's the difference in performance, handling ,and just usability of a gsxr1000k7 -k8 which I no you had one .To the modern sports bikes like bmw s1000rr or r1 2015 etc. is it a big leap forward and would it be noticeable on the road or not . I'm new to your site and I no its a old bike.
Nice review Baron!
But just wait for the Kawasaki H2 :P
A supercharged bike, just imagine the pull 😍
is the seating position on this very extreme? i have a bmw s1000r super naked..
Best R1M review on youtube .
The tyres that come with the bike,BATTLAX RACING STREET RS10 TYPE-R . If you are very careful, are you able to ride with them in the wet?
Hi Baron
I'm looking for a new streetbike. Only 1 to 2 trackdays a year.
Which one do you think is the best.
Yamaha R1M 2015 or BMW s1000rr 2017? :-)
Nice review. all the way fromTexas
Would love to see you having a (quiet) blat on a Lightning LS-218.
When was this filmed? There's sunshine beating down!
baron just wondering could you do rsv4 as a everyday bike thanks
Im gonna get this as my first bike
i hope you will try the new zx-10r...;)
Traffic infested shittery...... classic!!! Thanks Baron
Brilliant review! 😂
