Wow that does not speak very highly of BMW from someone who is obviously a connoisseur- good Review, spot-on IMHO.2021 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special vs. 2021 Indian Chieftain Limited vs. 2022 BMW R 18 B First Edition Comparison Review
Cycle World compares the 2021 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special, 2021 Indian Chieftain Limited, and 2022 BMW R 18 B First Edition.www.cycleworld.com
I (currently) own two Harleys, one Indian, three Victories, one Buell, two EBRs and one Boss Hoss (all US). Also a Triumph, a BMW (R18), two KTMs and two Ducatis (Europeans) as well as one Yamaha and one Honda. If I got told tomorrow that I could only keep three (it would have to be by God), it would be 1) the Goldwing and a toss-up, 2) between the two Harleys (Twincam Breakout or M8 Electra Glide), and 3) between the EBR 1190SX and the Triumph Rocketr 3R. And I would try to hide the 1190 KTM Adventure somewhere nearby (-:
I have been riding bikes for fifty years this year and have owned more than one hundred motorized two-wheelers. The R18 is my first BMW and will be my last. I have owned several BMW motorcars, and my wife still drives one now. I am not a fan of the GS (not after having owned KTMs), the S1000RR (coming from Ducatis), or the K1600 - no match for the Goldwing, especially not the latest model. I own a 2014 GL1800 - my wife's favourite.
