BMW S1000RR vs S1000XR on track review

- After running an S1000XR on the road, we decided to find out how it compared to the S1000RR on track, and answer the question, do you really need a full-on sportsbike to go quick on track?
So we borrowed a racetrack, the bikes and someone with the skills to ride both bikes back to back in a time trial race to see, just how good is the S1000XR on track?
No animals were harmed in the making of this video, but we did wreck two GoPro cameras!

Had an XR for 6 months now and love it great review
Thanks dude!
Very good video I am surprised on how quick the xr did the lap it looks impressive.
Didn't rate the XR that highly, but now, you have me thinking about it!
Wow, didn't think it would be that close!
The question is which one to get :) My body likes the XR and my heart the RR.
Just bought the '20 XR and went on a ride with '19/20 RR owners. Had plenty of compliments and a ton of envy at the end of the day when i was ready for another 9 hours.
What bike did you have before you bought the XR Christopher?
@@TrooperTed Yamaha FZ09 (taken out by a left turning cager) and a Honda Grom which i still have.
@@christophertrueman6701 Love the Grom, once did a photoshoot for a magazine on one. In between taking pics myself and the photgrapher were two up on it, got some weird looks from traffic that day! :D
This is a VERY skewed "comparison" video in favor of the XR. It appears that either the tester was sandbagging on the RR or simply didn't know what he was doing. As if the granny shifting wasn't enough, the RR was left in Sport Mode. If you are taking an RR to the track, ESPECIALLY for a comparison, Slick mode should be engaged. If a person chooses to pick the XR over the RR based on THIS video and track performance, you have been mislead. XR is a fantastic bike by any means. But this video is borderline trolling.
Marcel Robinson accurate af
Not really.... This track just plays to the XRs powerband... IMO... even then 1 second is still a big difference in racing.
The point of the video was to state if you can go fast on the track too.
Long story short... If you're a competent rider you'll kill the majority of 600cc bikes and will probably slay a few 1000cc riders too.
Christ lad I'm chuffed you even bothered watching my video now, this is professional level stuff!! Great video and I'm actually not surprised after riding the XR it was as close as it was!
Thanks again for watching and dropping me a link to this! I must sort my life out and get racing bikes on track too!
Cheers mate, I was very lucky in that I had a lot of people who knew what they were doing help me put this together. Life took over afterwards the way it does sometimes but slowly slowly getting back into things, hence the new (but much less polished) videos going up lately
@@TrooperTed ah sure look even to have one video like that to your name is class lad :) I know the feeling, the whole two video a week thing I'm bating myself into isn't the easiest but I'll keep at it as long as possible! I'll check them out once I've tomorrow's video edited :)
Could you include the S1000R in the next video please? Wanna see how it stacks up!
Watch this space! ;)
bought an xr awesome bike easy to ride has the gear assist pro which is magic
Yep, makes you feel like a rockstar, especially when downshifting through the box and she pops and farts from the exhaust!
Great video nice see this quality from a irish channel, how do you find Mondello as a track? One thing on the XR it still looks like an old mans adventure bike, you can't beat the looks and confidence a Sportsbike gives
We've a big soft spot for Mondello here in the office, its tight and technical which allows smaller bikes more chance as the 1000's struggle to put down full power. Keep an eye on the channel, we've videos from Donnington Park in the UK and Cartagena in Spain coming soon!
+Trooper Ted well I have the support a good irish channel so subbed!! Just please add some content on second hand stuff too like KTM RC8r, Ducati 899, Big Bang R1 keeps it interesting rather then all new stuff and plus most ppl look second hand when buying a bike
Hi, can you tell me what drone you used please?
We used a DJI Phantom II
I have a double R, put a deposit on this xr. I better not be disappointed, because I love my RR. 😉
You won't be, the upright seating position, the wider bars, the earlier torque curve, combine all these & you'll find yourself going faster on the XR on some roads!
Wonder what the black tape on the dudes leathers is covering up ❓🤔
its velcro to mount a camera microphone
S1000 xr is the best!! Very strong and comfortable
One major difference is that you can still feel your hands after riding the RR.
:D
Ted posting other channels video's , Bad Ted !
This is our video, what other channel are you talking about?
Let the force be with you , Lol !
so who is faster
Between me & the ex-BSB racer? Definitely the latter 😄 The phrase,"talented w#nker" is often used in jest. One of those guys that makes going fast look easy, then I try & end up upside down in a gravel trap...
S1000 RR IS BEST
