- Did you know that Chris used to race! We were invited by his old team to ride their BSB BMW Superstock bike, so we thought we'd take a road S1000RR for a head to head.

Favourite bike channel on YT right now - right length, great host, fun topics - keep it up guys.
Thanks Andrew! 👍🏻
@C Thanks!
The initial comments were so on point. When that first bmw arrived it was such a “shocker”.
That 2015 one is aging nicely. Gorgeous bike.
Always a great watch with you Chris.. Keep up the good work!
Very nice video Chris that needs no "Bullshit warning". Your honesty and a sense of enjoyment shines through.
this dude probably all time fav host!
Great video Chris. Now that I have gotten older I’m impressed by the technology leaps motorcycles have gone through. Can’t wait to try out the new bmw s1000rr myself to be honest.
Shit. Any of the New Euro bikes will blow your mind.

Loved the video 👍
❤❤
Brilliant Chris, an hour and a half seemed like a bit of a test for a racing return next season now that would be great to see!
😁 Big grinn day. Thanks for the fun.
i would like to have that 215 rwhp superstock bike for the road complete with lights, indicators and starter motor etc
Unplug the safety net and see who can ride them then? 😜. Another great video ✌️👍
That’s an interesting exhaust note on the race spec bike, sounds like a highly strung twin at lower revs.
Chris Bro, you rock.
Big fan of yours ❤️
Race then road: brave bloke, and a top blag!
Thanks for making me feel old lol
Best.
Re-union.
EVER!
😍
Blyton... possibly one of the best kept racing secrets in Yorkshire (not anymore, maybe! 😆), despite being the home of Ginetta - what made y'all choose this venue?
Interesting to hear that split throttle bodies are legal in Superstock 1000
love the rear tyre of the superstock racebike
S1000rr is indeed a great bike in my prsonal conclusions.
What is the thing you do with your left thumb? Are you shifting gears, or am I just being stupid? Thanks for great videos ✌️

Cool video, what was the difference in laptimes?
Sadly we never got a completely fair lap comparison as we were plagued with damp patches and red flags. Superstock bike was a couple of seconds quicker from the data we had, but definitely some wind and wet biasing that.
Fantastic video as always. But hei Chris, you don't want to change your helmet with the new Shoei RF-1400 ??
Got an X-Spirit 3 now to replace the NXR. NXR has been a great road lid, but chin bar feels a little close at higher speeds on track, X-Spirit is much nicer there.
I would like to know wich one of these two are faster on a straight line ??? My guess is the track version ....
Is that what’s known as ‘audible traction control’ at corner exit?
Does the SS class electronics (or the rules, rather) allow teams to adjust torque curves and such, of the engine?
You are allowed and able to tweak the throttle curves within preset values to effectively reduce the torque, which this bike used to control the response in the first three gears.
@@chrisnorthover7582 Apologies for the _very_ late reply. Thank you very much for answering my question. So much variable code in the electronics I've no idea how governing bodies/scrutineers regulate it. In the top racing categories the folks running the show need to be more intelligent than the racing engineers :/
Are your gloves Racer? What do you think about them?
Yep, Racer Sicuro. Worn them for years and love them.
8:51 What's that paddle on the left thumb?
Rear brake - quite a common mod for racers to be able to use the rear brake more easily, especially when hanging off the left hand side of the bike
Why do they set the chain that tight
What is the thumb control @9:21

Reply from the man himself!
Nice one, thanks mate - never knew this. 👍
215 hp at the wheel with the stock map!?
Think that's with a remap - the point Jacko was making was that you could achieve that power without having to take the motor apart and do superstock-legal fettling...

Thats interesting though, you take the stock one and put some bling, performance parts and livery and its still an ugly, piece of s**t

10:57 well you kind of have to remember that bikes are more limited by dimensions than actual power. there's just so much power that you can put down without flipping over. you can see all the 220+hp tuned bmws struggle to keep the nose down even in 6th so we are already pretty much att the limit of power for the first at least 125mph-140mph. for bikes power is more about moving the performance up in the speed range. adding power just makes it go faster in the top range not in the bottom as that's already pretty much caped power wise. only electronics and clever aero can make you get more power
