I've been at McLaren for a tour, cause a friend was a student there. Very impressive. And clean. I bet if a fly shits on the floor, a little flap in a wall will open and a little robot will come out to clean up instantly.
Hey Baron von Grumble, I like your vids man, keep it up (44t is also awesome) and... well I have been fighting depression and you kinda help me in a weird way... Thank you for that man.
This is very ironic because Barons videos are helping me with my rough patch right now too. Nonetheless, I hope you have been well and found the light since this comment was posted.
I love all these bikes, but my favorite is the Aprilia RSV4. I just really like the looks and sound of it. I would be quite happy with any of these super bikes. RSV4, S1000RR, R1M, Ninja H2 and CBR1000RR. All very good bikes. Keep that BMW nice, they are sweet machines and all of these fast bikes deserve respect.
Absolutely spot on! S1RR was ground breaking in so many ways including safety, it took the competition years to answer back. I've loved my 11 and about to trade up to a leftover 17.
Was drooling over the BVG bike at Alton last week, really striking colours....... £21,000 price tag, when it eventually goes on sale!!!!!.....thanks for a tour around my home turf of Woking..... the good, bad and ugly!!!!
You can have a lot of money and still have money problems. One of my mates is on 200K a year, but thats countered by the sheer cost of his lifestyle.Ie house bills travel ect not to mention he never seems to have a hour to himself.
Got my A2 licence in December and got myself a Ninja 400 with a full Akra exhaust system and I love it, but the day that I can blast through a tunnel and it sound like that, that's the day I'm waiting for. The godliest sound known to man...
Driving around my neck of the woods. The best bit about the Maclaren HQ is that they've planted trees in an exact grid, so as you drive past they all line up perfectly.
I hear you, Baron. I've owned one new bike in my life, an RSV4 Factory. I took care of it, not in a cover it in cotton wool sense though, I loved riding it and it sounded ridiculously good and you would never get bored of hearing that V4, but knowing how much its individual parts were worth, I would always wonder if it would still be where I parked it whenever I went anywhere and it took the fun out of owning it to be honest.
2016 S1RR was sublime, clocked up 35K km inc. Istanbul to Amsterdam and back. I believe 2017 fireblade SP will be impressive at the very least and perhaps more fun and more user friendly(due to weight) on public roads. ( I'll miss heated grips & cruise control)
I ride the S1000RR on the road and you're right, its THE best sports bike on the road, end of! It's also bonkers and nuts at the same time as being tame at lower speeds, Ode to the S1KRR!
I bought my 2015 RR off the back of your review. I then bought my S1000XR off the back of your review. Shit the bed. I guess I'm off to Bahnstormer this week. Much love 👍
That burger king is the guildford one, my best mate died on his fireblade right there, crashed into the entrance of that burger in a terrible accident. brings it all back seeing that place. :(
That bike just stimulates the senses doesn't it... Is the s1000rr as comfortable as a cbr600 F4i? I ride an F4i and I want an s1k as my next bike. Both are sports bikes and both are said to be comfortable but just howwww comfortable are we talking.
I passed my theory test last Saturday, tomorrow I book my Mod 1 and Mod 2. This is complete motivation to get up early and do so tomorrow morning. S1000RR sounds incredible, that tunnel run ahhhh!
While not a fan of the BMW or the s1000rr (RSV4 factory owner) i can totally agree with what BVG is saying and for that reason it deserves a round of applause...(quiet golf clap at my desk at work)...
And this is why average speed cameras are a waste of money, they catch grannies doing 55 in a 50 but anyone can fly down at 100mph and stop before the end and the cameras do nothing. I fucking hate them
Holy shit your boy is going to big school! I remember when you didn't even have a boy :O PS that rev limiter in the hindhead - good god that sounds glorious
I agree about the scratches and damages on new things, hahaha I once dropped my first expensive helmet, and something inside me just died. didn't care for further scratches after that. lol.
I heard a similar story from a local music instrument shop, whenever this one guy would come in to buy a guitar he would bang it off the counter so he didn't have to worry about taking to gigs and inevitably damaging his pristine guitar. Don't know how true it is but the idea makes sense, not that many of us would do it.
i ride a Yamaha Stryker, its just like a Harley Davidson Breakout. Not nimble or quick like a sportbike but its what I got, and your videos got me super into motorcycles like six years ago and damn its like being reborn when you get a motorcycle. Next machine is the Suzuki Gsxs 1000F because I want something on the comfy side, 2021 lets get it
The s1000rr is one of those bikes that's got your back. If you fuck up or get out of your depth it'll be there to smooth you through the crisis and even make you look good, rather than spit you off and leave you in the cemetery or A&E. It was a game changer on release and I doubt BMW will drop the ball with the new model.
For once, Grumble, you're not talking shit... Got one of the first 2010 bikes in the Motorsport colours (best paint job). Been riding for longer than you've been staining the planet and the furthest I've ridden in a day (650 back from the Loire Valley) is on... An RR. Fantastic one-up tourer, great luggage system, over 50mpg on a run, will do 20mph in 6th, looks like an endurance racer (if you don't like the asymmetric lights; you're a dick) and even suits arthritic old farts. As you rightly say; RESPECT!
which is very impressive I have to agree, mighty impressive actually, what they managed to create. But (you know a "but" has to come here) - and I say this is a matter of personal preference- isn't it cool if a bike has some backbone, some character. That makes you uncomfortable one way, but gives a bike personality, which makes it that much more. A bike that couldn't care less about an "arthritic old fart" (my father's one, I love him) coldstarting it on a november morning to ride to about 50°C engine temperature to drop him off at bingo for all that I know. A bike that just wouldn't think about starting for such a crappy idea. Because it's a racebike. It is meant to be carassed and cared after just to be spanked towards it's rev-limiter afterwards. It makes it a diva. It does. And some will rightly say: "well thats just a crap bike" -and I totally agree. I ride an XR 600R, and I hate it's kickstarter sometimes. And after the exitement to ride such a raw bike round the city I hate to do so regularly. But it makes up for it. It makes up for it the first time you use it for what it was created for. Because it's a baja 1000 winner. It gives it character. Its the best of its time. And I don't want a racebike that takes me to bingo, just as I don't want to take a "bingo-bike" (whatever that would be) on a racetrack. And some people get that. they get it. They understand that the valley makes the mountain. An that you have to give something to get something. And I agree that the BMW is the best example that this is untrue. You can have the november bingo before spanking it on track. And this is impressive. And cool in it's own way. And I don't want to say the bmw doesn' have character. Because it does. It was just something else they were after. All I am saying is that creating a valley, and creating backbone, creating a diva, can make a mountain that much more exiting. And filling up the valley makes it better in logical terms, but boring in emotional.
Bloody hell now I want a full system! Sounds amazing, looks amazing. Also pretty sure the Hindhead tunnel is front facing average cameras so no need to worry.
Your comments on quality control are absolutely true! I have a car with 96k on the clock and worry about all the little chips and scratches. What I should care about is the fact it is mechanically sound
I agree, i think the s1000rr was a technology push that required the other manufacturers to try harder and so it brought up the quality of bikes as a whole.
yeah dude i put cruse on all the time while going through my parking lot in first gear to open or close my jacket vents or something, thats one thing that makes the bmw cruse so much better than every other cruse on a bike ive used. all the others ive used take to much faffing or get on or off quickly.
Couldn't agree more with this video and I'd back that up by saying I have a 2016 S1000RR. For the road it's still the bike to have, for the track the Ducati and Yamaha have it - but only if you have the skills to take advantage of them. IF you're new to the track it's not worth worrying about and the S1000RR will be easier to ride around a track too. I use the S1000RR to ride for fun and for commuting around the San Francisco Bay Area having transplanted here from Bolton, England. Baron, If you wanna come out here and do some videos on the awesome roads in the Sierra Nevada, drop me a line ;)
I used to work at McLaren, best company I've ever worked for. It's sad to see them languishing at the back end of the grid these days. I hope Renault engines will be a massive improvement. Nice vid as always BVG.
Loving the constant uploads. Just hoping that the quality of the video doesn't reduce. I don't mind waiting ages for an upload. It's always a pleasant surprise when one comes through.
Two things: first, in terms of credit being due, BMW have Suzuki to thank for the S1000RR. I recall that BMW took an '05 GSXR1000 and stripped it to nuts and bolts to figure out what made it so good; I think they were actually quite honest about doing it too. That gave them direction for the base platform. They then began to refine the package and create the S1000RR; which, I agree, then moved things on. Secondly: top tip, worst thing you can possibly do is wipe dried bird lime off a car with a napkin; might as well use sandpaper. Tissue paper, loads of water, soak, dab off very carefully, otherwise you will scratch the paint.
Dream bike right there... looks stunning, well done. i know about the obsessiveness, me and my friend both have old zx6r's, he really is obsessed with keeping it to a showroom standard, where as i'm the opposite, few cuts and bruises never hurt the bike and i just go out and bloody enjoy it. But each to there own at the end of the day. Ride Safe and have a great weekend guys :)
Thank you Baron! Awesome video and amazing job on the design! I feel like the best thanks I can give however is going and purchasing an S1000RR of my own!
Baron as much as I like your new stuff,I love these old school "motomonovlog's"(is that a word.....well it is now)that you do.....but that's because I am a selfish git and want you all to my self....:-).....btw congrats on the bike it look's fantastic.
That outro though, but thats so bloody true, I had some banged up piece of shit ducati 600 monster 2000 model, the thing was straight piped, straight bars, dirty rattle can spray job, bar end mirrors, clocks that barely worked and an ignition that only worked if I wanked it off a couple times, yet I road a good 15,000 miles on that thing and loved every second of it, now I have a cb1000r and I hated it for the first 5 rides, then all of a sudden I clicked with it and now its just like that Monster (except it works)
Such a good point! Without that damn bike we wound have the progression of tech that we have seen in the last few years. As much as I don't like BMW's I have to admit they have made bikes better for us all.
That’s why I commute on a PCX, I don’t care about it and it’s proper fun in London traffic. At £2.5k it’s not a throw away but it’s not something to really care about. Almost jacked on it the other day though, I cared then lol.
Yes the newer SPECS and VECTOR speed cameras do, so slowing down for the camera and speeding in between won't help you. There are still a lot of older ones around that just average the speeds that you were doing as you passed the cameras instead of the time taken to get between two or more cameras. In a series of cameras they may not all be working but you just don't know which are and which aren't
I've been at McLaren for a tour, cause a friend was a student there. Very impressive. And clean. I bet if a fly shits on the floor, a little flap in a wall will open and a little robot will come out to clean up instantly.
Here before this gets age restricted...
Why would this get restricted?
MrcabooseVG Because the bike is pornographic, duh.

I think they are just throttling their servers to keep up with all the viewage! You can't trust view counters anyway.

I always let the commercials play on your channel.
weird, i had to subscribe again?
Hey Baron von Grumble, I like your vids man, keep it up (44t is also awesome) and... well I have been fighting depression and you kinda help me in a weird way... Thank you for that man.

Qorr, that rev limiter!

I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing but I just fell asleep listening to the Barons dulcet tones.
Absolutely spot on! S1RR was ground breaking in so many ways including safety, it took the competition years to answer back. I've loved my 11 and about to trade up to a leftover 17.
Was drooling over the BVG bike at Alton last week, really striking colours....... £21,000 price tag, when it eventually goes on sale!!!!!.....thanks for a tour around my home turf of Woking..... the good, bad and ugly!!!!
Nearly went passed my house , next time you go that way baron you can come in for a cup of tea 🍵
"Off to pick up a credit card on a opem tab from lastnight" ... on a brand new s1000rr... 1st world problems hahaha
Yea hes got a 911 and was moaning about money not so long ago lol
Mate everyone knows the more money you have the more problems. More money just means more bills.
CewP it's not his bike though...
I'd say that depends on your choice of partner and what stage of mid life crisis you are in ;-)
You can have a lot of money and still have money problems.
One of my mates is on 200K a year, but thats countered by the sheer cost of his lifestyle.Ie house bills travel ect not to mention he never seems to have a hour to himself.
That is the best looking S1000RR i have ever seen. Aw, wanna get one now. Tossing between this and the R1. Can't seem to decide.
Thewiz3222 r1m dude don't get the regular one
125 Varadero XL
Wild Bill jheeze you have high expectations if you think a 17’ R1 is hideous to look at
Thewiz3222 r1 feels too much like I'm on top of the bike. Too track orientated for me
Same man! Idk what to do i have to make a decision by next week 2016 premium or 2017 raven r1 what do i do!?!?
Got my A2 licence in December and got myself a Ninja 400 with a full Akra exhaust system and I love it, but the day that I can blast through a tunnel and it sound like that, that's the day I'm waiting for. The godliest sound known to man...

That should be in an art museum.... absolutely stunning bike mate 👍👍👍

Everytime I've ridden the s1000rr it's put a massive smile on my face, it really is an amazing bike...
I wish the new models still had fire blue as a color option.
While not a fan of the BMW or the s1000rr (RSV4 factory owner) i can totally agree with what BVG is saying and for that reason it deserves a round of applause...(quiet golf clap at my desk at work)...

There's nothing more nostalgic than hearing your accent along side a super sport engine.
Holy shit your boy is going to big school! I remember when you didn't even have a boy :O
PS that rev limiter in the hindhead - good god that sounds glorious
I was thinking this.. I thought big school started at age 11 or 12, It's been so long
I agree about the scratches and damages on new things, hahaha
I once dropped my first expensive helmet, and something inside me just died. didn't care for further scratches after that. lol.
On a second note.... that tunnel!😍😍 good lord take my soul.
Love the Cuban'esk cocktail bar music at the end!
Awesome bike - have a 14 and love the that it's a little more raw than the current. Although cruise control would be nice for those longer trips
I love that little clap the exhaust emits off-throttle.
I heard a similar story from a local music instrument shop, whenever this one guy would come in to buy a guitar he would bang it off the counter so he didn't have to worry about taking to gigs and inevitably damaging his pristine guitar.

Look forward to these EVERYDAY, even if you don't post for months - I'll check my notifications daily... You the Baron

Man I wish I was getting mileage like that on my S1000R. I'm lucky to get 39mpg, if I'm riding like James May.
They've ruined that road round Tweseldown by making it 40!!!!!! You have made a work of art with your RR!! Looks almost as good as my '17 S1000R :-)
Richard Rathmell i know! Make it a 40 then resurface it amazingly 🙈
I absolutely love my 2010 s1000rr. It's fast, comfy and turns heads where ever I go granted it's all stock but that will soon change. Nice video
Bloody hell now I want a full system! Sounds amazing, looks amazing. Also pretty sure the Hindhead tunnel is front facing average cameras so no need to worry.
Agree :)
Oh great now I want a Burger King! 😂
Your comments on quality control are absolutely true! I have a car with 96k on the clock and worry about all the little chips and scratches. What I should care about is the fact it is mechanically sound
That Burger King in Guildford is my biggest sin. Fair play for walking away you've got more courage than me!
I agree, i think the s1000rr was a technology push that required the other manufacturers to try harder and so it brought up the quality of bikes as a whole.
No matter how many BvG vids I watch, or how many times I hear it, I still smile when he calls someone a Fuckstick. Such a great insult.
yeah dude i put cruse on all the time while going through my parking lot in first gear to open or close my jacket vents or something, thats one thing that makes the bmw cruse so much better than every other cruse on a bike ive used. all the others ive used take to much faffing or get on or off quickly.

Epic bike - great bit of road, we're just down the street from Tdown racecourse. Will keep an eye our for you on the roads! cheers for great vids!
YES I missed these video's. the tunnel made me smile
Damn it, this S1000RR looks so f***** nice!!!
Love my 2017 RR - no issues at all 4K in. A dream post owning a Ducati Multi!
I had a 2010 and traded for a 2015. Same bike different beasts. The post 2018 HP4 will be EPIC!
I've owned an S1000R and now an XR. You are right - stonking donk.
Love that bit of road after Tweseldown Racecourse!
Just ordered brand new one with updated paint job and extra alarm beast ..... now I'm excited for my first road bike lol yehaaas flying
Pause rewind pause rewind that tunnel run was epic haha.. I was waiting for the pit lane limiter ?!!
God this was a great vid. Classic, classic Baron. The fact that you guilted yourself out of Burger King almost made me piss laughing
Does anyone else notice the random Partridge reference in these vlogs?
Loving the constant uploads. Just hoping that the quality of the video doesn't reduce. I don't mind waiting ages for an upload. It's always a pleasant surprise when one comes through.
and here i just bought an MT-125 like a sucker
Shaun Barclay everyone starts somewhere 😊 happy riding
best 125 tho
RMW for sure, lovely machine
I really wish those old rumors of the BMW 750rr were real. That bike would own the track so hard -_-
You sir, are firing the wrath of God from your exhaust.
That rev-limiter bounce doe...brap-pap-pap-pap!
I hate average speed cameras but they work so god damn well
I've just come from the 'This Exhaust is TOO LOUD. 1290 Super Duke R' vid, and this RR sounds like a 125 :D
My god that glorious bloody noise!!!!
Two things: first, in terms of credit being due, BMW have Suzuki to thank for the S1000RR. I recall that BMW took an '05 GSXR1000 and stripped it to nuts and bolts to figure out what made it so good; I think they were actually quite honest about doing it too. That gave them direction for the base platform. They then began to refine the package and create the S1000RR; which, I agree, then moved things on. Secondly: top tip, worst thing you can possibly do is wipe dried bird lime off a car with a napkin; might as well use sandpaper. Tissue paper, loads of water, soak, dab off very carefully, otherwise you will scratch the paint.
Titaniumparts ohhhh shut up!
Dream bike right there... looks stunning, well done. i know about the obsessiveness, me and my friend both have old zx6r's, he really is obsessed with keeping it to a showroom standard, where as i'm the opposite, few cuts and bruises never hurt the bike and i just go out and bloody enjoy it. But each to there own at the end of the day. Ride Safe and have a great weekend guys :)
Gotta love the random BvG lore bits scattered throughout all the revlimiter spaffing.
Aspirations for what my bike can be. I'm digging the yellow.
I need this bike!
Thank you Baron! Awesome video and amazing job on the design! I feel like the best thanks I can give however is going and purchasing an S1000RR of my own!
Baron as much as I like your new stuff,I love these old school "motomonovlog's"(is that a word.....well it is now)that you do.....but that's because I am a selfish git and want you all to my self....:-).....btw congrats on the bike it look's fantastic.
8:33 bro you just spoke deep into my heart... I need a moment
it's so true :(
Tis a wonderful thing to make magic sounds in a tunnel in this day and age! Amen
“Stay there fuckstick”, so adding that to my book of phrases for car drivers!
Awesome bike ! I sold my last BMW car, best day of my life.
Maybe the greatest content you've ever produced BVG... that artificial limiter is brilliant when you're bouncing off it!
What's your helmet ? The in helmet mic seems very clear. Normally this clear won't come if the helmet is very snug and mic is sticking to mouth
Always a fan of the S1k vlogs
That outro though, but thats so bloody true, I had some banged up piece of shit ducati 600 monster 2000 model, the thing was straight piped, straight bars, dirty rattle can spray job, bar end mirrors, clocks that barely worked and an ignition that only worked if I wanked it off a couple times, yet I road a good 15,000 miles on that thing and loved every second of it, now I have a cb1000r and I hated it for the first 5 rides, then all of a sudden I clicked with it and now its just like that Monster (except it works)
love that outro music. it tickled my pickle
I think the K5/K6 deserves some kudos also, that is what BMW used as the benchmark to beat with the S1000RR.
Awesome as expected don’t get stressed about the stress Chris!!!!!
Such a good point! Without that damn bike we wound have the progression of tech that we have seen in the last few years. As much as I don't like BMW's I have to admit they have made bikes better for us all.
Inb4 this bike gets stolen in shithole london
The birds were marking your car, it was a setup. Bloody Fucking Birds.
It sounds soooo good 👍
Wise choice to avoid burger king. Why not go M&S and get a nut salad?
Great vid as always. Love the tunnel bit...ps yeah hit it with a hammer haha.
Omg that thing sounds soooo gooood
The bike looks the nuts!
The pops and rev limiter! 😍
That’s why I commute on a PCX, I don’t care about it and it’s proper fun in London traffic. At £2.5k it’s not a throw away but it’s not something to really care about. Almost jacked on it the other day though, I cared then lol.
The bike is a thing of beauty but I'd still rather have my daytona as that is just outstanding 😂
you should do another road trip but on an s1000rr!!! loved your first one on the gsxr.
Erm don't average speed cameras work your speed out of a distance???
The Sprint St Guy I thought so, he should of really killed time by crawling at 20mph for a bit, hope he gets away with it 🤔
Best not to speed and be a complete dick .
Yes the newer SPECS and VECTOR speed cameras do, so slowing down for the camera and speeding in between won't help you. There are still a lot of older ones around that just average the speeds that you were doing as you passed the cameras instead of the time taken to get between two or more cameras. In a series of cameras they may not all be working but you just don't know which are and which aren't
The road was a 70 and he was going from 50 to 80
The hindhead tunnel average speed cameras don't work for bikes, been through it enough times to know
Great vid, and I spotted The Inn at Maybury - I've had a few cheeky beers in there before :-D
