De laatste Motorrad al gelezen?

Staat een vergelijking in tussen de 1000RR en de 1000RR (Honda Fireblade).

Conclusie:

Letterlijk vertaald: De gejaagden zijn de jagers geworden.
Vrij vertaald: De rollen zijn omgekeerd

Had ik reeds gelezen, ook weer fantastische commentaren idd..........

[Richardt.]

Die man in dat filmpje kan idd behoorlijk overweg met een tweewieler, gewoon driften met dat ding

Jammer van de muziek, had liever de motor zelf gehoord

Ach ja, de ene keer vinden ze 175pk veels te veel, de andere keer is 200pk super.

Eerste impressies van users;

............in this case running in our demonstrator:broc:

Our demo bike was registered and licenced today so someone had to do the thankless task of starting the running in process.

So I set off from Gloucester got on the A40 to Ross on Wye, down the A449 to Raglan and the turn off to Abergavenny, and down to the cafe at the Abergavenny bus station and a cup of coffee. The coffee was mightily welcome as it wasn't very warm and after 47 miles my hands were very, very cold.

Here's the bike at the station:



I set off for Hereford and on my way out of town spotted another bike at a garage so stopped for a chat. He was an R1 rider on his way to Aberystwyth. He was kind enough to take a photo:




Then it was on to Hereford on the extremely nice A465 through Pontrilas and a stop for petrol before heading back to Ross and then through Newent and back to Gloucester. 107 miles all told.

My impressions:

The bike is extremely impressive. Front end felt absolutely planted. Turn in quick but progressive. Quickshifter is lovely. Mirrors are very good. Instrumentation is good. When the fuel light came on you got range to empty instead of the trip mileage. The fuel light came on when the range was 30 miles. Standard screen gives you a nice pressure on your chest so cruising at high 80s/90s was pleasant. The roads were dry so I stayed in Sport mode throughout. Throttle response was nice. They have got the fuelling spot on. It is ballistically fast. It will be an awesome road bike as it's very comfortable. I'm 5' 11" and average build. It felt a lot more comfortable than the 08 Blade I rode 18 months ago. No pressure on the wrists. I could easily ride this bike 300 miles a day and probably for longer.

All in all I cannot wait for my bike to arrive

S1000RR test ride review.
by JohnnyBBM on Tue Jan 26, 2010 3:55 pm

I've just returned from a pretty decent test ride from Balderston BMW, Peterborough.

Weather wise things were good, temperature around3/4deg but sunny and dry (for the most part) with an S1000RR Sport on Metzeler K3s for me to take out.

I sorted out the paperwork (I was allowed to take the bike out despite not having the paper part of my license with me) and was shown around the bike, with how the modes worked being the main focus. All fairly standard, normal indicators etc. I will agree with the BigHeartedTone about the switch itself - it's pretty small, nipple like, and a bit fiddly to start with.

They left me to get on with starting up and getting my gear on. Once on the bike I noticed it felt taller than I recalled, but not top heavy. Starting up was a fairly quiet affair. I was in Rain mode and throttle response felt lazy when I gave her a little blip.

Pulling out I felt the clutch lever reach to be a little far for me (I have pretty small hands) but it wasn't really an issue. I bimbled out onto the road and gave the bike a few flicks side to side. She changed direction really quickly and felt very direct. Great initial few hundred meters.

I pulled up onto a roundabout and was genuinely shocked at the bite from the brakes!! Immense stopping power and ridiculous initial bite. By far the best stoppers I've experienced, by some margin.

I pulled out onto a dual carriageway, 40 limit, and accelerated a bit harder out into the outside lane. All good. I then crossed another roundabout, noticing a red Corsa being driven by a low-hatted yoot entering the R/A from my left. Who then promptly swept straight out into the outside lane to overtake another car as I was right alongside!! A big handful of throttle and jink to the right was enough for him to miss the rear tire by about and inch...

Quite upset by someone trying to kill me less than half a mile from the start of my ride, I moved to the left and waited for him to come alongside. Cue a wound down window and an apology by way of "SMIJDSY". Better than nothing I suppose.

I decided I'd had enough of town riding and headed instead the opposite way, out towards Market Deeping. The bike felt super tractable, pulling nicely from low speed in 3rd and extremely planted. Through a series on dual carriageway roundabouts she held a line perfectly. Only old people pulling out on me causing any change of direction hehe

Now getting more comfortable and confident with the bike I changed to Sport mode. Massive difference! Much stronger mid-range and I much preferred the sharper throttle response. Rain mode will be nice for just that, or if you're having an off day...

Traffic had thinned a bit by this point and gave me a chance to open her up a some more. Lovely linear power and nice upshifts with the quickshifter. I'll be honest and say I found rolling off the throttle on uphifts when not 'on it' to be much smoother. I'm sure with more time I'll get used to it.

Still the most stand-out thing for me at this point was the brakes... just immense. Harder braking into the roundabouts that interspersed my route just brought more reassuring feel and stopping power.

As I moved further out of town I was in a long train of slower moving traffic, headed up by a Portacabin on a flatbed... This gave a perfect opportunity to get some quick fire overtakes in. No drama, no fuss... just instant power on tap in any gear. Good stuff.

By this point my fingers were starting to go numb (I was wearing summer gloves) so pulled over to get some feeling back



After a 5 minute break, feeling having returned, I changed to Race mode and headed back the way I came. The jump from Sport to Race was not as instantly obvious as from Rain to Sport. I was in a 40 limit so was taking it easy anyway, but rolling on in 1st and 2nd provoked a sharper response that became more noticeable as I progressed.

Coming out of the 40 zone and into NSL I gave her and handful and blasted past the car in front. This was much better. Just instant, prolonged controlled acceleration. The road was clear for some time and I cranked it up through a long, sweeping left. Again she just held the line, cranked over without fuss. There were quite a few damp patches by now but the DTC light never flickered. I got to feel the slipper clutch as I braked hard for the first roundabout on the way back. Reassuring.

This bike was instilling massive confidence, even after a short blast. As I headed back the traffic increased and, on the road I'd passed the Portacabin on, I had chance to overtake a long line of artics and cars. Race mode made it even easier, literally cracking the throttle to blitz each vehicle, then rolling off gently into a gap if there was oncoming traffic. The quickshifter felt great here.

Now back onto the main dual carriageway into P'borough I took the opportunity to give it full beans through 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th as I came off a roundabout... Ferocious pace, still no DTC light and lots of front wheel pawing the air. Awesome.

I kept her in Race mode as I rode back through town to the dealer. Apart from less than smooth progress due to less than smooth input wink I can't see a reason not to keep it on Race mode most of the time. It will certainly be my default.

All in all I was blown away by the S1000RR. Fast, comfy, planted...

Epic thumbup

I can't wait to get mine. any questions, ask away.

Ta!

Ok,v nog maar 1 dan..................
Here's my addition after just having finished a test ride at my local dealer.

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This thing is utterly awe inspiring. Beautiful balance, obscene power provided in perfect and linear fashion, confidence inspiring are words lacking in amplitude, intoxicating without the alcohol content, and most likely an unbelievable grand slam home run!

Oh, and I really enjoyed it.

I had it in sport mode the whole time and, yes, wheelie control does work.

it fit my 6'1", 208 lb, 34" inseam perfectly. It transitions from upright to horizontal with no nervousness, complete confidence, and a perfect line of communication as to what both ends are doing. And it did this without the benefit of adjusting the suspension to suit me.

Schwiiiiiinnnnngggggggg!!!!!!!!

Let's hope BMW don't face too many 1st year gremlins with it. I'd hate for them to ruin what they have going here.

Oh, and I liked it. Just sayin'

In all my years racing, I never had the benefit of such a fantastic package as this. I am so not worthy and could never ride this bike as it begs to be ridden now that I am 42 and post MAJOR neck surgery.

Those who get this machine are gonna love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My congratulations to you and BMW.

Where - A&S Motorcycles, around a surface street loop and on to the freeway cloverleaf loop with a few shots of full loud handle spots in between.

Why - Uh, because it was there! No other reason. I had the shot, there was no danger, so I took it. You get it.

How Far - Total loop was only 20 miles or so. Enough to get a taste but no where near enough for what it can do or what I wanted to do with it.

Does it need to be taken to its limits - I am not sure us mere mortals could actually find where that is! And I am serious! For that, you're gonna need an E-ticket to your nearest track and A LOT of time, gas, and rubber to even come close to what this bike is capable of.

Now, as for the need to push it, etc. for its enjoyment - I would have to say, no, there is no need or requirement to ride this bike any where near its upper limits to truly enjoy it. In the traffic stuff I encountered, it was very easy to use the clutch. Take offs were effortless due to a fantastic clutch take up, feel, and light pull along with a motor that is actually provided with a very usable low end. Yes, it is lack luster blow 3500 - 4000 but it is not a big hole. Remember, you have a 14k red line. It is quite usable throughout its rev range. Even with a gear selection one to high.

I don't think there is anything dumb about this bike! It would be a perfect weekender for the local canyons and, if I had any interest, I would snap at the chance for just that purpose. Oh, if I could have a few days on Angeles Crest Highway with this!!! With the, literally, thousands of miles up and down that road, it would be a true nirvana like experience! Well, all the fire/weather destruction that has gone on not withstanding.

I'd really like a crack at this bike in its element, either canyon or track, after getting a couple hours with set up on the suspension as well. Oh boy, that'll be an exhilarating ride then!!!

I rode a gorgeous acid green one. They should have painted this bike !!SPAMMER!! DELETE THIS THREAD blue! It is truly the new little pill that will give you all the "pleasure" you could want. I am, however, concerned as it has been more than 4 hours and it has not subsided!!! Should I worry? NAH!!!!!


Oh, and I forgot this;

The electronic shift function is out of this world!!! I have used the system in the K1300S and was VERY impressed. This set up takes it to a whole new level!!! I even deliberately had it tilted over through a sweeping right hander and upshifted. Nothing, Nada, zippo! Not one bobble or twitch. It was that seamless!!!

One of these is mine.................................was het droge commentaar bij de foto

[wjn]

In de PS van februari staat een vergelijkingstest met o.a. de BMW erin. Eigenlijk zijn ze daarin uiteraard positief (elke nieuwe motor is meestal beter dan de vorige edities), maar wel wat tegenstrijdige zaken. O.a. rondetijden zijn gereden onder condities met erg veel wind, en er staat dat je er niet teveel waarde aan moet hechten. Vervolgens concluderen ze aan het eind dat de BMW snelste was op het circuit.

Jawel, nog geen 0,2 seconde sneller dan de Aprillia RSV4-R (dus niet de Factory), die een (gemeten) 25pk minder heeft en geen ABS/tractiecontrole/quickshifter. (Rondetijden van 1:43 - 1:45 overigens.)

Meest opvallende is, dat de BMW 20-25pk meer heeft dan de rest, zonder echte nadelen (trekkracht bij lagere toeren).
Naar mijn bescheiden mening is het wel de meest geschikte voor alledag, juist vanwege ABS en tractiecontrole.

Dat wordt in de volgende editie van PS getest.

Jammer dat de RSV4-R elk circuit dagje een nieuw blok nodig heeft (Big-end problemen)
BMW heeft gelukkig een bullitproof kwaliteitsimago opgebouwd en zal hier waarschijnlijk
weinig last van hebben in de komende 100.000km
En dus de meest logische supersportfiets met verschillende karakters van dit moment

De 3e charge drijfstangen was fout. Volgens Aprillia dan, 3000 stuks vernietigd/vervangen.

BMW had de terugroepactie dat de remmen het onder bepaalde omstandigheden konden begeven. BMW Unstoppable
