    Happy with the Madstad windshield

    Picked this up used from a member who had moved on to a GS. I am very happy with the Madstad windshield. I think it is the best made out there for the R18. The build quality is superior to other after market windshields. It looks great on the bike and is easy to take off and on. I had a German...

    R18 VIBRATION

    I agree if you live in a country where you can’t go above 65mph. It is a great bike but in most of the USA, our freeway speeds are a lot higher. In Southern California. If I am doing 65, I am going to get killed. By 70 my bike is unenjoyable. By 80 it is painful. Been to the dealership over it...

    Anyone made a long-distance trip on an R18

    I am looking to do a 6000-mile trip from Mexico to Canada and back. Have concerns about doing it on this bike. I have replaced the seat with a mustang. A lot better than the stock. I added a windshield. Have a plan for luggage. But not sure this bike is made for that kind of trip. Starting...

    After the low gas light. How far more have you driven?

    I am averaging about 100 miles before I get the “Get Gas Light”. I'm getting ready to do a long trip. I'm curious how far anyone's pushed it before hitting empty.

    How Much Did You Pay For Your First Service?

    For fun ask them how much for the 6000-mile service. I was quoted USD $1050 by San Diego BMW. The dealership in Temecula was unable to give me a price. I ended up doing it at BMW Motorcycles of Escondido for under $600. Back to your question SD BMW did the 600 miles for $350.
