I think that's what I'm going to do. I FREAKIN love the R18...went and sat on one at a dealer yesterday and it's even more beautiful in person that I imagined. But, even though I'm a decent sized guy (6' - 200lbs) and didn't really have a problem handling the bike off the stand...It does feel...

Thanks folks! I hear you all - I went and sat on a R18 FE that my local shop had today. Really cool bike. I also sat on a Scout Chief bagger they had as well...didn't feel that much different honestly sans the riding position/forward controls and I know quite few folks that started on...

Hey Folks! First post for me. I'm about to pull the trigger on a R18 Classic in 719 trim (Galaxy Dust Metallic). Pretty stoked. I found an earlier thread with folks talking through their buying/financing experience with the dealers. Here's been my experience and hoping others can shed light...
