Ponch Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 The seat looks like a torture device. Link to comment
Foot Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Surprisingly the seat on the S1000XR didn't feel that bad. But I am sure there will be plenty of aftermarket seats available soon. BMW seats vs my butt has always been a losing bet for me. Link to comment

BMW seats vs my butt has always been a losing bet for me. I'll second that the stock S1000XR seat is not too bad. Frankly, it is a little more comfortable (to me) than my stock RT seat (which I probably will change over the winter). Link to comment
Fathom Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 If they can get rid of the vibration at the bars & pegs at 5k rpm and just above, this one may well have knocked the R/RS out of the running for next bike in 2017. Every review I've watched or read on it so far has really lamented the vibe -- especially on long highway miles, where I suspect it would numb me right out. Getting mighty close, though -- it looks like an absolute blast to ride. Link to comment

Getting mighty close, though -- it looks like an absolute blast to ride. The S1000XR is a blast to ride! But I suspect taming the vibes will be a tough job. I have my doubts that they can do it -- I think it's the nature of this particular motor. Cruise control is your friend, on this bike. Meanwhile, the vibes have gotten a little better on mine, now that I have about 2k on the odometer. Link to comment
Lone_RT_rider Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I love the thought of this bike. I was going to take a test ride, but my wallet vetoed that action. seems to love it too. Link to comment

John Ranalletta Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 A little more balanced , but still looks like an exciting bike to ride. Link to comment
