  • Hi Guys!
    Tis UNK here! 😊
    So at Williams Motorcycles in Manchester, we have just got a Seat Height Reduced S1000XR TE on demo!
    My old man has the 2019 S1000XR SPORT SE in Triple Black and since he hadn't seen the latest version of the S1000XR, I thought I'd bring it round to his to show him and get his opinion 😊

    Really enjoyed the format of this video. You make a great presenting team. There is no substitute for experience with a model. I love you Dad’s comment “They haven’t finished painting it yet”. The colour is growing on me but I like the rich blue. Triple black looks very good. The XR is at the top of my list for an urban commuter with some light off-road capability (with suitable tyres). Good point on the peg position. Looking forward to the riding vlog. These conditions are a great test as wet weather performance is critical in the UK. We all need three bikes - big tourer, middle weight crossover and sport bike. The XR seems to be the ideal middleweight. My Dad also had spadehands, obligatory for a master craftsman.

    Hi Kate and Dad, It was nice to get Dad's perspective between the old and new XR's with his long history of riding, I like the colour, it looks classy, and the adjustable levers are a great idea.Dad's is a lot higher and left your legs dangling. The make "biggerer" pad is handy and Dad is as relaxed as you in front of the camera and I'm sure we will see more of him, riding the new XR maybe!

    Hi from South Africa. I progressed from F800GS, 1200GS, 1200GSA, S1000R and now the new S1000XR in exactly the same colour and lowered seat spec.
    I love the silent pipe, coming from the S1000R with Akropovic
    The seating position is fantastic, and long rides are a breeze. Seat is a bit hard especially on the edge where it makes contact with your thighs.
    Mine goes in for the 1000km service this week, which will unlimit the rev (currently governed to 9000rpm)
    Best bike I've owned so far.

  • @richardmarsh1332
    @richardmarsh1332 Před 3 lety +1

    Nice video. Being able to lower this bike from factory is a big plus compared to other manufacturers. With only a 29" inside leg many bikes are just too tall for me but with the BMW lowering set up I think this bike should be spot on. When you add to that a seat designed for two people, a comfortable riding position a centre stand and 160 bhp what more could you want. Although nearly 70 will be trying this out in the new year. Thanks again.

    I've had 3 XR's including a triple black and a new ice grey model. I do at least 12500 miles a year both here and abroad most of it Two up. I really enjoyed the two previous models however, the new model is lighter and easier to ride. The new engine is superb and very smooth, I do miss the noise the old model made in dynamic though. My passenger reports that the rear seat isn't as long however the suspension is better.

    I rode the new XR when I brought my 1250GS in for service. That one for all "cured" me from thinking ever swap the XR for the GS. The XR is a nice bike over all, but I didn't like the riding position, and of Course the engine was totally different. One has to rev it quite up to get the torque kicking in, when I picked up my GS it was much more my style to ride a bike and the torque not less brutal much more cultivated if that makes sense. The overall handling is far too "excited" for me. That's the main reason why one buys a GS over a Sports or an Adventure-Sports bike I suppose... :-) Good video.

    My xr is awesome put heavier bar ends on vibes virtually disappeared.changed to adjustable levers doesn't and shouldn't be an issue with cruise control your dad needs to get that checked out. I added a brake modulator xr didn't appreciate that so took it back off . But what a machine it's great 👍👌 cracking video I think personally my 2018 hp colours are better jmo keep up the good work lass take care and ride safe..ps I'm 67 yrs young and feel like a 16yr old when I'm on my bike.

    The new dash is lovely, I wish other manufacturers went with a matt finish display, get no glare off that and it also looks more touchy feely than the gloss finish dash's on other bikes! :-) Preferred the old headlight set up though.
