Kate, love you reviews, so down to earth and real world. You are a breath of fresh air amongst all the bike blogs. You deserve all the kudos and I hope you go far and grow in popularity.
Im not sat on a pair of balls!!!! Oh my god that was so funny 🤣🤣🤣 to be honest you've got bigger balls than most blokes on sports bikes! (so to speak) And another great vid Kate 👍
Could hardly wait for you to release this one since you announced recently. You did not disappoint...what an intro and closing 😱😍 luv it. Great VLoG as always, love the chatting whilst you ride. Have not been on a bike in twenty years and finally made it back this year. Been renting 1250 GS and V-Storm, so much fun. But then yesterday I escorted a Ninja1000SX across the Swiss Alps - OMG sooo much fun. Stay safe and keep 'em coming
I got a gen 3 this year and love it; great to tour on with aftermarket panniers, and it’ll set your pants on fire on a summer’s evening blast after work. I keep telling myself I done need to upgrade to a gen 4...but I know I will. I’m weak that way 😁 Nice chilled review - thanks!
Great vid Kate lovely meeting you in the shop on Monday. Went over the snake pass on the way home beautiful. Looking forward to your next track day in the fast group 👍👍
I took a demo on one of those yesterday. I absolutely loved everything about it (apart from the naff steering lock) and that’s from an owner of a super comfortable KTM Super Adventure R! It’s the very best sports bike out there👌
I have been riding bikes 40 years, and enjoying bike UA-camrs for about 5 years. Must say, for me TMF is the best of the lot, but I'm really impressed with this channel. I like the subtle difference that comes from the female perspective. Less of the emphasis only on power and less of the boring tech-spec and more of the riding and 'feel' for the bike then is the norm with most vloggers. As such I have subscribed......
Took delivery of the exact same M package a couple weeks ago., Apart from being restricted to 8000rpm till its broken in the initial response I have is how light it is on the bends. I have a 526lb Ninja H2 that's great on the freeway but on corners its cow tipping compared to the S1000RR. The carbon wheels probably have a lot to do with it quite literally feeling like a 600cc bike. You mentioned the clutch and you are spot on Kate. The traffic is heavy where I live and found myself stalling a few times. As you said its ON or OFF which needs more attention than I'd like. I fiddled with the adjuster ring. Perhaps the factory likes to ship this way but I discovered the ring to be at the tightest setting. After loosening it to the middle am now able to fan the clutch. Its a lot more forgiving in those stop and go rush hour trips. I'm told the ECU sets us free after 500mi. Its the only gripe I have so far. Love the scenery and the accent. Be safe always.
This brings back memories. I tested the 2nd gen out on many of the same roads for a mag back in 2012 and had a great weekend on it. I think we're blessed in Manchester being central to some great areas. Cracking video, keep 'em coming :)
Great to see local roads that I have been on numerous occasions...as I used to live in Glossop.... Great video as always... keep up the great work... Toodle Pip...😁😎😄👍👊✌️🍻👻🏍️
Just discovered your channel and happy for it...! you're really witty and your reviews are on point... respect for the way you handle those bikes with confidence and ease... im sure you will get a lot more subscribers... looking forward to more content 👍☺️
Whatsup Kate 👍🏻 i was at Snake Pass Saturday with friends had an awesome time wasn’t too much traffic so had hella fun 😉. This new S1000RR is getting unbelievable reviews guessing you have watched the 44TEETH superbike reviews? They are absolutely raving about it 🤩. I’m absolutely in love with my 19 RSV4 RR and definitely won’t be selling it anytime soon but with all the 🔥reviews this is getting this might just be on my radar as a future purchase. Great video as always 👏👏 Adam
@@DannyT636 i have a ktm 1290 super adventure suspension is electronic so once where both on it ot adjusts itself it handles great plus the Mrs is tiny and weighs next to nothing
@@UsernameKate and I totally agree, I rode a S1000RR at Laguna Seca a few years ago and was really impressed by how comfortable it was and well behaved at slower speeds, then turned into a fire breathing dragon when it was time to give it the beans.
Absolutely gleaming video. Nice to see you let loose on it at the beginning and then surmise the bike in a more,,,,, relaxed/level/calm 🤷♂️ fashion. I must admit, I quite enjoyed the artsy-fartsy intro & outro too! Keep up the good work 🤙
Great vid. I’m currently in process of buying one. Had a gen 1 back in 2011. Two hour test ride on Saturday and didn’t want to give it back. Nice to hear my hometown of Northampton mentioned
Nice video and love your bike, I haven't lived in the UK for 7 years but my parents live in Ashton under Lyne and it was nice to hear your northern accent and drive around my old area
Aha, the lovely Usernamekate! Again! Mmm, at around 1;30 in, I had a real hard time trying to decipher which I would like to manhandle first! Lol! Lovely little lady on a lovely little juice booster! Best wishes and ride safe, from Droylsdens own Ballistic BMW Bastard!!! (aka; Pilky-the little one, not the big one!)
Now this is the kind of bike vid I like. Riding and waffling on ( in a good way😬😆). Some ragging around the Peaks footage would be nice. 😁😆👍 on the next one. Looks a fab bike cool as😎 The lottery win bike garage gets bigger 😆😆
I’ve just been lucky enough to win this model bike courtesy of Rev Comps and I love it. Great video and I agree, the clutch is a little strange and is taking some getting used to.
Ive just done that same route from Rochdale to Sheffield on a cafe racer, the road works are still there but the views as always are epic. Horrible to ride back at night though, quite a dangerous road. Ride safe
Wow so glad I found this channel. Great to find someone who can give an honest review as someone who clearly just loves riding and knows what they're talking about! Bonus points for being a little different in the best way possible
Great bike. Ive spent months and a lot of money modding mine - getting all the black parts carbon fibre and putting on a full system, been a great project for me this year. And a rather expensive one too to be honest. Health to enjoy it Kate !
Stunning intro, epic scenery, superb bike and top quality vlogging. Thank you for sorting my Sunday morning on such a high 😀 I need to get out on the bike now.... 👍
Is that Ladybower with the drone? Took a ride up there on Friday 11th Sept from Mid Wales on the BMW XR.....stunning scenery and roads. I did fly my drone there too .:)
Kate. Your video reviews are always spot on. This bike looks to be a perfect fit for you. I am investing in a motorcycle again because I miss riding and I am in the process of transitioning and I will be getting women's riding gear. Your cat looks so cute. 😻♥🥰
Another Great video Kate 👍👍 and with interesting content looks a lovely Bike. Keep up the great videos. 👌👌 Ps maybe you need to get your gardening gloves on, looks like your drive needs some tlc...🌿🌴🌳🧹🧹😁😁👍👍🏍🏍
Hi David, the garden is a mess. I didnt find my green fingers during 11 weeks off during lockdown so there's no hope for it now that I'm back at work 😫😫😫
Have you ridden the older model with the oddball headlights? It just seemed to me to be a better road going super bike. The new model is a little more race oriented. Also just a little heads up on the brakes. Brembo bought Hayes which are made in the US. They've been making brakes for vehicles including high performance and industrial vehicles since 1946.
Compare the 2020 M package to the out going HP4. You change your mind. The new mode is very docile when you need it to be. Even unrestricted or tuned it’s still livable. It’ll do clutch ups in max power mode no problem and in low power mode your gran could ride it with a little seat padding.
Nice vid! I took an RR out a couple of years ago, was really impressed. Had GSA's last 6 years, I change them after 2 years, but im very tempted to get one of these this year as Europe seems to be out of the question for the foreseeable :( May pop in after lockdown.
Hi Kate, I saw this vid last year and have watched it several times because it is so 'real world' which I really prefer to the American 'Whatsup You Tube' kind of reviews. I also really like your whimsical comments!
Hi Kate great review as always. Can you tell me what the ride height is like on the s1000r? Would love to see a review of your own on that too. Keep up the good work
Hi Kate new to your channel enjoy your vlogs especially the opening drone footage on the RR .Iam possible returning biker and was interested in your opinion on the Gs 850 Rallye compared to say its bigger brother the 1250 could you maybe do a back to back comparison maybe anyway keep up the good work cheers
Sidi makes great boots but I have to recommend Supertechs. There isn’t a better boot on the market and the comfort level is insane. If you’ve never tried a pair..... you should. You’ll be in love.
New subscriber, and just think your riding skills, along with your relaxed, informative and quirky presentation, are way ahead of the rest. And as someone who can't ride anymore, due to spinal problems, watching your videos are better than any medication, for making me feel like I'm back on the roads again, so for that alone, thank you from the bottom of my heart..... Take care and keep safe, A friend who TOTALLY agrees about not needing face masks outdoors!🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣(unless someone is a real minger, then maybe yes, a mask might be called for!👍🤣🤣🤣)
Hey Mr R! Thank you so much for the lovely words!! It means so much to me hearing things like that and inspire me to crack on with the videos 😊 LOL you could be right about the mask thing... 😂
Aw thank you Kate, and its my pleasure🙏 You don't realise that your videos can mean so much more to some people, than just telling us about a motorcycle... like i said, to me, your videos allow me to imagine its me on the road, seeing places ive never been to, riding bikes I could never own now and being able to ride to a much higher standard than I could in reality🤣🤣🤣 So please, keep just being you, don't change, and your fantastic personality shines through in abundance. Have a great day Kate, and thanks again you're appreciated more than you know 🙏🥇👍
Id love to go for a nice long ride with a crew of people.. I only have my nephew and he is a bubba still in the Motorbiking world.. plus he is the other side of the country from me lolz... Love how you chat away on your vlogs.. Do you have a comms kit ? I recently purchased the Domio, I like it as there are no leads etc.. but.. not too happy with the mic setup..
It is a naughty bike. Had one for a year ... made me feel like Rossi ... had to sell it as I was riding more and more quickly. Bloody loved it, and of all the bikes I've owned, I miss it the most ... :)
Another great video Kate, I've got the 2018 model and it has been fantastic, just bought myself a 2020 S1000XR in the Motorsport colours but I can't have it till about November, is there any chance you could do a review on the XR sometime please .....👌👍👍😁
@@UsernameKate I am quite curious about your future comments on the XR as well. I used to have a 2016 XR, now a little between bikes and struggling to decide which to go test drive. Multi or XR or RR as I gathered from LCR channel that the slightly older gents can find the new RR pretty accommodating. Love your vlogs 👌👌❤️
Not sure how where you live likes unrestricted and modified bikes. But the new S1000RR sounds good with just a slip on. Get a tune or unrestricted and you’re in for a real treat. Also look into the AIT relocation mod to get a better more accurate AIT aka more power without doing anything but putting the probe in the inlet air.
“Jobs a carrot” brilliant, never heard that one before! Hi Kate, I’m from near Preston and thinking of purchasing a BMW S1000RR, I enquired about a test riding one last year at Preston docks BMW, but they wouldn’t let me, said I was too young! Which pissed me off to be fair! I’m 30 (so I was 29 then!) I’ve had my Suzuki GSXR 750 for 4 years, yet they wouldn’t let me test ride the S1000RR, obviously that’s made me not want to spend my money at that dealership! Would I be able to arrange a test ride at your BMW in the next few weeks!? Thanks, Kelvin.
Absolutely! Could you drop me an email on kate.ralph@williamsmotorcycles.co.uk ? Just don't want your request to get lost in these comments. Cheers man 👍
She said the seat wasn't so bad ...maybe cause she wasn't sitting on a pair of balls , ggg loved it girl ! They are no problem , they sit out front in a safe spot, ggg. Nice riding and I love the countryside .
As an American, I absolutely love the way you say “naughty”😉. Great video, subbed.

Thanks Jay! And I'm glad you are loving it so far!
I just bought one last week can't ride until 20th due to insurance can't wait, thanks for the review subed... did I see wheelie on a overtake 👍😁

Thanks Geoff!! Sorry, I miss a few comments on my phone. Gets a bit wild with the comments 😫😅
What a great vlog kate , you are so funny and a great rider !! Loving this bike as I think it's time to upgrade from my cbr 650 r !!! In to the 1000cc
I took a demo on one of those yesterday. I absolutely loved everything about it (apart from the naff steering lock) and that’s from an owner of a super comfortable KTM Super Adventure R! It’s the very best sports bike out there👌

Show those guys how it’s done Kate! Awesome video!
Have you ridden the older model with the oddball headlights? It just seemed to me to be a better road going super bike. The new model is a little more race oriented. Also just a little heads up on the brakes. Brembo bought Hayes which are made in the US. They've been making brakes for vehicles including high performance and industrial vehicles since 1946.
Compare the 2020 M package to the out going HP4. You change your mind. The new mode is very docile when you need it to be. Even unrestricted or tuned it’s still livable. It’ll do clutch ups in max power mode no problem and in low power mode your gran could ride it with a little seat padding.
@Hugh Jaanus I see weird miss matched brake with a lot of bikes but mostly Japanese bikes. My last Suzuki had brembo front calipers and nissen rear.
@Hugh Jaanus Anything you miss about the older model that the new one doesn't do as well?
@Hugh Jaanus you put 100k Ks on it?
Oh my God that bike and tracksuit is beautiful

Great video, came here via your S1000r video. Which of the two do you like better in the regard of curvy roads, mountain lane kind of riding?
I like them both equally tbh - but the RR just makes you feel a little more bad ass!
Hope nobody got hurt at 0:40. Keep up the good work🍻
Nice bike and video!
Could get a bloody bus through there 🤣🤣 bmw drivers 😏. Great one hand save of the gopro while smoking the group ride #freesmoke 🏍💨💨
My L5 GSXR 750 is easy to ride too. Can sit upright fairly easily. It is still a racebike, but it is road-friendly as well.
5'6 - 30 inch inseam, and I ride a 20" S1000XR. The struggle is real, but we make it work. 😁
Great video, Kate!
I always enjoy your vids even more when the cat gets a walk-on part.
He's the star lol
Thank you for the video. I wish I lived in the area to test it out!
She said the seat wasn't so bad ...maybe cause she wasn't sitting on a pair of balls , ggg loved it girl !
They are no problem , they sit out front in a safe spot, ggg.
Nice riding and I love the countryside .
Would like you opinion on F900r please? Great video:-)
Oh that will be coming!
thanks for the vid, riding through the English countryside makes me want to come back....
Kate you know how to ride that BMW s1000 rr bit naughty through the tunnel 😀 rev bomb
Great tutorial well explained and down to earth bird. Love to ride out one day with you. Hope to see you on the road one day keep it on two wheels.
Have you rode the rs yet ? If so what do you think if not are you planning on riding one, great vid 👌👍
Check kates other videos, she did one a few weeks back
Mike is right :) its in there somewhere! Thanks Stevie 👍
such a girly vlog! love it❤💯👍
God blog dear. I appreciate your attitude.
Enjoying this Vid/review. 👏🏼🔥 I am a female rider on a single R and am wondering if it’s a completely different feel? Have you ridden the R?
Yea, a very different feeling :)
Because I’m so used to watching videos of the US, it’s weird watching a video in my home town.
"...don't it down, take it round, nice and tight...uurrr!!!"
