My new GS is in for it's first service and I have got the S1000R for the day. Have just done a quick loop around local roads. It is very fast. From 7500 revs it pulls hard and is seriously quick. Handles beautifully, quickshifter sublime and a nice riding position. New TFT is decent too. Am going to go back to the dealership via the Peak District and give it a proper go but first impressions are that it is a very nice bike and a positive improvement on the old model.
 
Out of interest what didn't you like about the older S1000R?

Nothing. This one just seems a bit sharper. Just done 50 miles through Peaks on it. Glad it’s going back or I’d lose my licence. It’s rapid.

Ah got ya :cool:
I rode one and loved it :D
 
I got the 2021 RR.

Despite the wife and kids...

When i first rode it.. I discovered what love really is.

Riding the bike for the first time makes me forget what it was like holding my child for the first time..
all 3.. who cares..

It does compare to when having 6 months of riding experience on a 250 that I took a 600 cc for a test ride..
woooooboy..

very similar feeling... that PULL.. it's a drug..
