I went to Friday the 13th Port Dover event In Ontario last year and saw ONE other R18 in the midst of thousands of bikes. Too bad the owner wasnt around. We be a rare breed.
Whilst I understand the sentiment, and it is always good to have a rider buddy, I kinda like the uniqueness’s and exclusivity of the bike.
I am yet to see another R18 of any variant at the same time as I am riding. The only time I saw 3 R18 together and I was one of the riders, was last year on a small ride the dealership organised.
