BMW R1250R SE 2021 - 10,000 Miles Owners Review

Can't quite believe that I've hit 10,000 miles on this bike already... especially since according to the PCP schedule I shouldn't be hitting 8,000 miles until March next year 🤣 At least the coming winter will slow things down now...

Correction at around the seven-minute mark... I said I took a trip up North and went as high as Chesire "near the Scottish Border"... I meant to say Carlisle!

Another correction at about 22.50... I talk about the Max preload raising the rear ride height. That's not quite accurate I guess; more like the bike does not drop as much at the back when you sit on it and ride, compared to Auto mode and therefore you feel like you are sat higher.

And another one! I'm not so sure that the bike is sliding the rear quite as much as I think it is... I think the rubber being laid down might just be a combination of the soft rubber, high tyre temperature and the weight of the bike + rider. Need an expert opinion on this. Still impressive looking though!

Also worth noting are my dimensions lol... I'm 5'7" (170cm), about 73kg 161kg) and have a 32" inside leg.

Owning the BM has been pretty much a totally positive experience - it's not perfect (nothing is) but I'm so glad I bought this Absolute Unit of a bike lol Thanks for bringing this bike in ‪@bmwmotorraduk5273‬ I'm looking forward to what comes next!

This video was going to be even longer! I was going to talk about what bike I might want next, and if I didn't buy another bike what I'd do to this one if I had the money. Maybe I'll keep that lot for another video 😊
