- In this Fen Tour episode I collect my new M1000XR from Sycamore Motorrad in Peterborough, David borrows a 2024 S1000XR and we head off to compare notes. Plus how much petrol does the M1000XR use when compared to an R1250GS on the same ride?

I got the Gravity Blue S1000XR TE just like the one your friend is riding. Super happy with it😊
Very beautiful motorcycle, amazing colors. You really have a great diversity in motorcycles now.
Cheers…
I got my s1000xr m package last week coming from a double rr and single r I’m super happy 😂
Congrats on your new purchase. Stunning 👍🏻
Loving the matching helmet too
Helmet is almost a perfect match but not quite!
It's got everything you'd ever wish for. Where's the panniers 😂
WOW what an amazing machine, well done fella 🤩
Wonderful beast. The bikes good too.
haha, struggled to pass a Triumph the other eve on the newmarket TT!
🙏❤️ Love from Scotland ❤️🙏
👍
Both bikes looks great.
Both a big improvement looks wise over the previous XR IMHO.
Me too lol enjoy the ride on that beast 🎉👍
I’m envious of your pension plan 🤣, a superb bike which as far as I’m concerned really does look stunning in the competition colours with all that carbon.
However, the price is a bit salty when you consider you’re not actually getting top draw brakes (Brembo) and suspension (Ohlins) something I would want for that kind of money. Whether or not it actually makes any difference is debatable, but BMW are probably being a tad greedy.
Enjoy your new ride there’s no doubting you’re piloting one of the most desirable bikes on the market, a real dream machine 👍
The suspension works so well over the bumps there cannot be any cheapskate stuff going on, as for the brakes they are the strongest I have ever experienced. I guess BMW marketing think that "M" is of a higher or = value (brand wise) than a name such as Brembo. Cheers...
Does the high seat stop you from sliding into the tank? That is the one thing i DON’T like
It is much, much better than the standard seat, but still not perfect.
You lucky, lucky man…but then, you can’t take it with you, mate. Enjoy!
Indeed, money should be spent before the coffin arrives…
Still restricted!! Come on man! Cannot wait for the update video after you try the redline through the gears 👍
It does 120 in 2nd gear! (not that I have tried!)
I like the M stands for Mega 👍
It does indeed!
Fantastic looking bikes but the M XR is another level 👍. How was the insurance for it I’ve heard reports of over £2000 is it that bad ?? , looking forward to seeing you’re videos on it I’ve subscribed 👍
Insurance is not available at all unless you have full no claims. Around £450 and I am old.
Where did you get the seat? What’s the part number?
This is the high seat option when you order one, there is no extra cost.
What’s the tail bag you’re using ?
BMW Black Collection rear bag large
👍What tail bag you using please mate ?
BMW Black Collection rear bag large
Lovely looking bike Martin, how many do you own now ?
Too many, 6!
Well done, are you trying to outdo the Missenden Flyer 😊
Lucky bastard 😂😂😂
Skint! 😂
as one who owns a GS and mxr, they're not remotely the same bike.
Indeed, that’s why I have kept the R1250GS.
Best looking adventure bike m1000xr but 28k w😮w
It is a looker, but pricey indeed.
@@FenTour I hate adventure bikes but fk me I’d have one of them mate.
@@BigBellyBiker not really up for any adventures, just a comfortable sports bike?
@@FenTour I’ve got K2 pal same as you gsx1400 it does all I need. But that bmw is bloody nice
@@BigBellyBiker interestingly the M1000XR pulls hard like the GSX1400, you would be quite at home. But once over 6/7k it goes warp speed.
