People that say you don’t need cruise control have never written a bike with cruise control. Once you do, it’s miserable riding a bike without it. I use mine constantly through a ride.

For me it was the ergo. My wrist hurt a lot and this bike might be the only real sport bike that is comfortable for me. Took it to the track for two days without issue. I ride it to work as much as I can and it hasn’t been a problem.

One other thing I wanted to say is that, if out of all the bikes you had a choice for, including the Ducs, Yamaha and Suzuki hayabusa(even though you had one and gave reasons as to why you got it); yet you chose the bmw s1000RR over the hayabusa and all other bikes, that says alot about how comfortable, reliable and creature comfort oriented the s1000RR must be over all the other bikes; when oriented towards a tall person !

People who say this are Ducati FANBOI's. If you are not riding on the track....there is simply no comparison riding on the road vs a Ducati. Ducatis run HORRIBLY around town. THey are super HOT. They are ultra finniky anything below 5000 rpm, they run ROUGH at that rpm and below. THey have ZERO creature comforts...no gas gauge, no cruise, do I need heated grips, no, but they. are nice. They get HORRIBLE gas mileage....my streetfighter gets 120 miles at MOST to a tank of gas STOCK...the light comes on at 90 miles...if I get a tune its gonna come on at 70 MILES! The Ducati is HORRIBLE to work on...there is no other bike near as bad to work on compared to the Ducati. I own both an M1000RR and a Ducati SF SP (and have owned a Panigale in the past)....there is simply no comparison as to which is better for a street rider!! As far as performance...sure a Ducati is a few 10ths quicker than the BMW....however the difference in levels of performance are so small that on the street its COMPLETELY negligible...both are 200hp bikes capable of INSANE speeds on the street....are you kidding me that I should sacrifice all the above because the Duc may eek out a bit of performance on a dyno??? People who own a Panigale....tell me how much better it is after we have ridden for 2 hours and spend 30-45 minutes in bumper to bumper traffic....we can talk about it right after you ice down your wrists and peel your roasted nay nays off the tank....and htis is coming from someone who CURRENTLY OWNS BOTH>....I would take the Beemer over my Streetfighter as well as a Panigale....its not even close... Now if you are wanting to own the one that will catch you the most looks at Bike Night or Starbucks...sure Ducati all day! Dont get me wrong...I LOVE MY DUCATI...but I also own other motorcycles. WOuld I want it as my only bike, NO WAY. THey are great to ride, are a totally unique experience, but as a daily....no way I wold chose any of them over my Beemer.

@@lg740xx I had no idea that the Aprilia was the same way....but it is a V4 so that makes total sense....no one ever talks about it in the circles I am in....I have ALWAYS loved them and have always wanted one, but there have never been any dealers within a 100 miles of where I live, so I have never decided to take a chance on them. I was at the USGP in 1993 when they unveiled the Mille at the event and I was literally enchanted by the thing and have ALWAYS wanted one. But here in NC, you RARELY see them.

Ducati is an amazing brand. The only thing that prevents me from owning one. Is the engine heat. Especially if your riding in extreme hot weather, with gear one. That engine heat would make it, alot worse. People say the V4 is an awesome bike. But it would cook your legs, sitting in traffic.

I love my 2021 S1000RR m package. The dealer is nagging me to upgrade to the new m package model but I don't think the new bike is as good value as my 2021 - 10,000 trouble free kms up on it now. Back in 2021 you got everything as standard on the m package but now a lot of the goodies are options - the biggest of which is the carbon wheels. I found it hard to decide between it and a Panigale V2. V4's are an astronomical price here in Ireland but I did eventually get a new Panigale V2 Bayliss in 2022 in addition to my BMW. I have other bikes too which means I nearly have a bike to suit all occasions and moods.

Ducati has heated grips but you have to pay extra. Even the multimedia system and navigation software are also accessories but in bmw it is standard 😊. Even I am waiting for Ducati to add cruise control in the bike. I am not into supersports due to the riding position (I once tried zx10r and it is very committed) so I thought of naked bikes . Currently have a street triple rs but I want to upgrade to either s1000r sport or street fighter v4 .
