- I've had a BMW S1000RR M-Sport on loan from BMW for the last 6 months, during that time I've done track days, tours and even some choice modifications! However BMW have now asked for bike back so I have a decision to make... Should I buy it??

As a good friend often says to me Chops, "can you afford not to" 🤣
Take the loan Mr Lamb ... for all that is holy, take out the loan. Secure her!!!!
I wouldn't sell the H2 to get the BMW not that it is an amazing bike! But I doubt they be making another H2 anytime soon, future classic
Will they be pausing/stopping HR production?
No it’s going to be around for awhile while adding more super charged bikes to there line up.
I also don't regard the H2 as the mass production bike.
@@bonta0240 that's what I meant
Why anyone would want a 240kg sport bike is beyond me, regardless of how much power it has.
Nice vid Pal! First off, it’s a crime you’re not already at 100,000 subs! Second, I was gutted when you lost that 360 camera! Can’t believe you caught it flying off into that countryside abyss, when in post production! But then double gutted when you said she’s going back. I’ve heard you say nothing but amazing things about her, you really enjoyed that 6 months together, and with Greg getting the new Gixxer. I thought you’d reveal you’d bought it! And been litre bike brothers in law! Not to be, I totally understand your plight, you can’t have them all, at least you’ve got a game plan for the H2. She’s a real head turner as well. Thanks so much for all the content you’ve produced with this bike. I’ve enjoyed every single IG post, and CZcams video! That’s one of the main reasons I decided to pull the trigger, and buy my S1000 this past summer. #TeamLCR
Thanks Michael, yes it's been a super tough decision and actually I've changed my mind so many times in the past month! I could very well be making a big mistake, but I thought if I do change my mind I will buy a non Msport next year, yes no carbon wheels but still dam good and similar money to this! Thanks for all your support buddy and enjoy that single R 😎
I'm a utilitarian sort of bloke, so I'd be keeping the one I'd ride most -the RR. If I had an H2, I'd have to get her out of her very own bedroom every time I wanted to ride. Too much hassle.
To quote Alfred Lord Tennyson - ' Tis Better To Have Loved And Lost Than Never To Have Loved At All ' sums up your dilemma,as good a Bike as the BMW is i think you made the right decision,the H2 has much more Kudos.
We should start a funding jar and help Chopsy keep this BMW. Shame really, he enjoys it so much.
Pull the rubber back on the left grip right next to the switch wheel and you’ll find the screw to tighten and the fork that’s usually just grease from the production of the forks.
Brilliant to get your final overview of the bike. There may be one finding a new garage off the back of your recommendation. Your reviews are simply outstanding. Keep up the great work.
Great series of videos with this bike! Glad you’re keeping the H2!
Super vid Chopsy as always. I am looking to replace my Aprilia in 2022 and had not really considered the M Sport until now. Big decisions and rides to have next year I think. Great real world insight. Really enjoyed the series and good luck on your quest to 100k. You really deserve it. We certainly have enjoyed your content over the last 7 years.
Great coverage of this bike Chopsie. Your reviews helped me decide on my next bike, I should be picking my S1000RR up this week hopefully. I couldn't justify the extra price of the M Sport, but I did get the Sport variant in Black, which gives me the electronics/suspension I wanted at least. Sad to see her go from your channel, but totally understand the choice. Great vid.
I have had the sport for the last 12 months. Trust me, everything chops is saying is on the money. It’s an amazing bit of kit. Enjoy and ride safe.
You got everything the M has except carbon wheels and hard seat, everything else is the same. Me, I didn't want the Carbon wheels.
Have this predicament atm. I guess the M1K is meant to be tuned and slapped with a full exhaust ect to get the most of it for the track. The S1K just has a bit less bling and the engineering on the engine isn’t as solid for the race teams. But we all want the M don’t we for the bragging rights let’s be honest.
Soulless In comparison to the H2 Every ride on the H2 is an event 👍
I ordered my S1000RR m package in August 2020 mainly based on your (and 44theeth's) great reviews rides of this bike. Those video's are well worth watching too if anyone is thinking of buying. Sad but understandable you did not buy this long termer. At 64 years old I am still loving my 2021 and have 6,800km up on it now which is not bad when its competing with 5 other motor bikes, numerous pedal bikes, several classic cars and my Landcruiser for my attention. Never gave a hint of trouble either and still looks as new as it did when delivered.
Another top video - I'm amazed you're not already at 100k subs, as you always produce amazing quality content; bikers all over the country (and world) would do well to follow you on here. So best of luck hitting 100k mate!
Sad the S1000RR is off - such a lovely bike, but the H2 is just that bit more special, and as someone else said; is unlikely to be made again. So I for one, think you made the right choice - at least we'll have the Pasty video to keep going back to :-D
Here's to the next chapter!
Many thanks for the videos on a bike I'd never get the chance to swing a legover. No doubt you've got some great memories there.
That sound chops is addictive
Hey Chopsie. It's hard to believe that you don't have more subscribers. I watch a lot of motorcycle vloggers and your channel is just about my favorite. Thanks for all of your content and good luck on the 100,000.
Thanks Marion 👍
I think you made the best decision, the H2 is a once in a lifetime bike.
Awesome shot of the camera wining off into the distance.
Another great review from LCR! I’ve just ordered an m sport (with m endurance chain) after a long test ride followed by watching this series of LCR reviews several times! I even find myself humming away to the intro now 😂Keep up the good work mate.
Weeping fork is the packing grease for the fork seal only. The melting point of the grease is met quite easily through use. It is NOT losing any fork oil.
Great 360 shots Chops , well done .
Well I did think the H2 was going to go by the end of this video I have to say! But the Kawasaki is such a special machine I can't blame you not wanting to sell it. Gutting to see your 360 camera launch itself into the countryside too, bad luck!
My wife and I have the same bike and I recently fitted some HeliBars on them and it has transformed the bike to be an even better handle and more comfortable bike. You should give them a try. They raise the handle bars by ~1inch from standard. Best mod so far 👌
Question: have done a review on the saddle bags? What make are they? Also awesome content on your channel 💯
Got to say chopssee your the best motorcycle u tuber that explains how a bike feels watching u it like I'm riding with u on the same bike even though I only got a cbr 125r
Thanks Stevie 👍
Nice seeing you trying to keep up with the landrover defender at the end of your review. !!
The camera footage is awesome
Loved your Video , only just found you today after you and teapot on the top 5 chip shops , brilliant mate
Thanks Carl welcome aboard buddy 👍
Thanks John, that was a great video. I've kind of said my next bike will be a 2020 SDR but I must admit I need to test ride this before making my mind up. Shame about the camera flying off, I wondered what that was. As for the plaque for 100k followers, has TMF offered you his for a bit?
You’re right. We can’t have it all! At least you had it for six months!👌🏻
Thank you!
Hi Chopsy,
Yes,i have enjoyed the content on the RR,awesome bike,thanks matey👍
Awesome video!!
Great post👍🏻. The BMW warranty service for a new or used bike, the two year one is fantastic. HOWEVER stay clear of the extended BMW warranty it's not the same by any means, different company & basically jack all is covered. Message ends.
Great vid chopsey
Great comprehensive video. Seems BMW just moved on from where they left off with previous model. I've had gen 1 and gen 3 and they were great all round performers.
Give the Beemer back, the H2 is a special bit of Japanese wizardry👌🏽
Great Review Chops BMW is an amazing bike H2 Special and a keeper i think you kept the right one
Nice review as ever Chopsie!!
Difficult though the decision was, you made the right one. In a couple of years there will be another S1RR that will make this one obsolete, but the H2 will always be the H2.
Excellent vid chops. Shame you had to get rid but I think you made the right decision in the end also I really hope you get to 100k subs 🤞🏼 because imo you deserve so many more keep it up mate 👍🏼
Thanks Michael 👍
Since when have the head and the heart been on the same page… never an easy call that one. Maybe it’s a question of “replace-ability” S1000RR’s will be aplenty. H2’s less so.. good luck with this and keep us posted. 👍👍
Great choice. Looking forward to you getting your hands on the new GSXS1000GT. It's getting great reviews.
Awesome review chopsy, I love this bike, I have a s1krr 2012 Gen 2 which is awesme but would love one of these, noticed your phone mount, presume this is out of the headstock centre, what mount are you using fella and is it any good vibration wise?
Good choice chops
Best bike reviewer on the net in my opinion!!
great review buddy
Thanks Brian 👍
Good decision, Chopsy. The H2 is something really special.
Dayummm, I love my 21 Tuono V4 but you are making me believe I need an S1000rr M package as well 🤷🏻♂️
Like you, there is no way I’m getting rid of my V4. That roar is in a league of its own 🥰
Chops, with regards to the wide band and full system not needing a map, any ideas if that applies to the single R aswell? Biased but I'd keep the S1000RR as it's a more versatile bike and will bring you more smiles on track next season 👍
I bought an XR this Year and love it, I know its not as quick etc but a great all round hooligan
Don't sell the H2! Please 🥺
Bought one too. Probably the last one new and is one of a kind, unicorn type of bike.
Great review.I would have kept the RR as an everyday fun bike.Respect to you.
I know the exact stretch of road where your camera went AWOL which I ride on quite often, it looks as though it launched over the hedge but I’ll have a gander next time I’m passing.
Definitely the H2 it’s already a classic and not to take anything away from the BMW, but that Kawasaki is very special.
BMW presumably accept their bike back with your alterations in place or do you return it to stock? As always a great channel Chops and I hope you get the subs up and over 100k mark, you’ve worked hard👍
Thanks Andrew yeah I'm going to go back see if I can find it now I've seen where it went 👍
Great vid 👍
Buy the BMW, it's an amazing bike in every way. The H2 has class, uniqueness and is one hell of a head Turner.... but the BMW. Its just perfect. And listening to your love for the BMW, I think you'll be riding it a lot more if you owned it over the H2.
That said I'd love to own the H2 SX SE
Can you go back to the road and look in the field for the 360?
Tq fr the review..just sold my F3..S1000rr suitable for old man like me..
Man I love LCR videos... one of the only intros that I cannot help but shoulder dance to... dont ask. Great content and honest feedback on the S1000rr. Keep up the great work. Any chance at reviewing a 2021 Ninja 1000sx, curious what your take would be on a modern sports tourer, and not a BMW SS acting like one? ;)
Will see what I can do P C 👍
Keep the H2 chops and buy some Helibars, makes any sport bike comfortable. I bought them for a few of my super bikes in the past and they take the angle off the wrists, there wider and closer to you. Would definitely recommend 👌
My R1250R has similar front forks (hardware at least) and they appeared to have the same “weeping”. My dealer told me BMW can go overboard with grease under the dustcaps and it would stop after 12 months. Sure enough, they’ve been clean ever since.
Right decision chops👌
I think you made the right choice a friend of mine started have real big problems with their rr and is trying to hand it back, and nothing I’ve ever ridden has felt anything like a supercharged Kawasaki, every time I ride my H2SX it takes a bit to come to terms with how it goes after riding my other bike!
What a tough decision, you made the right one though I think 👍
Wise choice you had 6 months fun out of it and it won’t ever be the bike the H2 is, fantastic review 👍
I think you have made the right decision keep you h2 love that bike 🏍️
Morestead rd. What a beauty 😉
The H2 over the BM.All that work you put into the H2
Sorry about the camera big bro, proper bike though and beneficial review.
A top-box will really help with the practicality on the H2, that's where I'd start... followed by bar nuffs as its starting to get chilly.
I'll show myself out...
I got one! Super happy. I love it.
Brilliant bike Alex 👍
I had the HP2 Enduro/Super Moto whatchamacallit a while back. Beautiful beast, too big for speeding down single track trails. KTM 350 for those jobs!
I would have thought the BMW switchgear would be illuminated? KTM and Triumph switchgear on their new models is. With so many buttons and switches seeing them in the dark is a must imho.
I own both the Kawasaki H2 and BMW S1000RR.Both great bikes but the H2 is a unique one of a kind iconic motorcycle ...Good choice.
All roads lead to Loomies: which is a great shame on this occasion - since you could've done with drowning those impending post-Beemer blues! I really thought the H2 had finally had its chips, but I realise it's one of those spesh machines that would have a spell on you that'll be extremely hard to break. Fair play to ya Chops; and good luck with making that very nawtee Ninja half-practical!! 😉
Yep, all roads lead to Loomies, where there is overpriced low quality food!
Good and sad video. Sorry to hear you are returning the S1000RR. Look forward to your next videos.
Thanks Lyn 👍
Convinced you would buy the BM , love to have one, but understand your decision
Right choice mate..
While the right number of motorbikes is always “One More”, I think you made the right decision. The H2 is unique and too special to send down the road.
Sounds like a win win decision on which to keep. H2 will long term be an investment whilst this one will depreciate. Great review 👍🏻
Yes do agree Lee 👍
Barf!!! The cam is making me feel dodgy when it does a 360...😆
Good video and the right decision imho..👍
It’s an amazing machine although so is the H2! Did you go back for the camera now you know which field it’s in 😂
Decision was a never in doubt throughout your entire long term ownership. 👍
I honestly couldn't tell the difference between Road and Dynamic on the ESA on my 2017 S1000R, so I'm surprised to hear your comments on the suspension. The electric suspension on my 2016 Multistrada S Touring is way better, IMO.
If you pull the grip back you can see the screw and it works loose, just needs tightening, on the forks they pack them with grease and always seem to be the top one when on the side stand seem to weep, think it gets a bit warmer in the sun and you get a film of oil on the fork leg.
OK good tips John 👍
Hey, great video!
Did you get those Evotech bar end weights to help with the vibration through the bars?
Yes I did and they do, about 20% reduction in vibes at motorway speeds 👍
Morestead Road, one I ride lots! I recognise lots of the roads you do in your vids, and spend a lot of time over Chichester way doing the Duncton road also, I'm part of a small group of riders from Southampton and watch all yours vids, would be great to meet up and go for a ride sometime!
Thanks Buddy, yeah I'm at Loomies quite often so if you see me shout 👍
From a viewers perspective the H2 is a more exciting motorcycle to watch. I don't know... the BMW is just a bit boring but at the same time the bike is so good! I am glad you chose to keep the H2, that thing is really special and already a classic.
Ahh man, that camera went flying! 😲
100% agree about all sportsbikes needing CC, all bikes over 500cc ish should have it TBH.
All the while you can get long term loan bikes, not really much point keeping this one.
You'll hit 100k in no time mate.
Thanks Peter 👍
Sorry to see her go but otoh very entertaining seeing u ride the h2. So do u think it's worth going with the M over an upgraded base model? Haven't researched model comparisons yet sorry. Thanks again for sharing
My s1000rr m sport fell to bits the same problem you had but mine came off at knockhill hairpin also lost good few faring bolts and an engine bolt also breaks were squeaking and binding all in not a good bike for me and Bmw told me it’s a characteristic of the bike hahahah ended up getting my money back went back to the aprilia
Hi Chops, never heard you mention about the ‘race mode’ what’s your opinion of how it differers from dynamic or road mode?
Great vid, Chops! Sad to see the S1000RR go.
Thanks buddy 👍👍
@@LambChopRides anytime, pal.
Nice one mate
I just sold my s1000rr for a zh2 ☺️☺️☺️
Good choice, the H2 💪
I had a 'Dead Cat' blow of an external mic mounted on my bike, watched the footage, went back 2days later & bingo found it.
Well you surprised me I really thought you would’ve gone with the Bmw considering it’s more of a practical all year round bike
This channel deserves more subscribers... Good balance of entertaining content and reviews without the feeling of unlimited cash to throw at it. It gives it an earthy nature that feels close to the average enthusiast. Keep going.
I would have kept the H2 as well, that RR is a beauty, though.
Thanks Christian 👍
Can’t think of any H2 owners ( including myself ) that would sell it for the BMW
Great machine the Bmer but not as special as the H2
As a fellow H2 owner, you made the right decision. The H just resonates in your soul when you are riding. I enjoy it most alone at night on the empty roads around the Pacific Northwest. Nothing feeds the beast inside like an H2.
I won’t lie, watched these videos during the week. Put deposit on a 2021 msport today . Thank you Sir 👌🏻🙏
You will love it! Miss mine 😫
That's a shame could have looked for your camera but were not allowed to walk down that side of the field anymore! But back to our problem of what do we want to what do we need,I just sold my Husky 701 because I needed a more allround bike,still got my CCM R30 for the odd blast around our lanes!
Keep both. It's just a great bike. I would keep both. Yes little expensive but worth it
Respeckt your desition!
