The reason I published this video (made last saturday in the Swiss Alps) is to underline the amazing handling qualities of the R18 Transcontinental despite its weight.

😄😄😄 well, if it happens we'll do 50/50.

Thank You R2K!

Our R18 Transcontinental, today, at the top of the Stelvio Pass (Stilfser Joch, 2750 meters): Italian Alps.

They are the standard ones. Now I'm trying to find a BMW dealer that resells Jekill & Hyde full exhaust systems for my R18 TC as it seems they are the only certified ones for the Bagger versions of this R18.

My R18 Transcontinental shot in Ascona, Switzerland on May 1st.

Sounds great in Mr Hyde mode! I own an R18 Transcontinental and checking the J&H web site I saw that they have a version that works with the B and TC R 18 models. Considering that I can't find any alternative here in Europe (Freedom Performance only sells in the US) I think I'll go the Jekill...

I just made the first service (1000 Km) on my R18 Transcontinental by a BMW Motorrad official dealer in Milan (Italy) and I can confirm that it was at Zero cost as anticipated by the dealer where I bought the bike. Not bad considering that on my HD Touring bikes I was used to pay about 350 euros.

The K1600 (like the Goldwin or other similar models) is a nice scooter. Nothing to do with an R18 B or TC but this is not important: it only matters that you like it.

You're right. At this point I think the 719 color combo too works in a similar way.

Why don't you buy the R18 Transcontinental in Manhattan Metallic Black. It's a nice colour and the finishing is Black like on the Bagger version.

Here in Italy, the first Service at 1000 km (600 mi), is for free for the R18 Transcontinental I just purchased: can be done by any BMW official dealer on the territory. I don't know if it's only for the B and TC models or for all the R18 range.

Really interesting. I honestly had the idea that the restrictions imposed by the Euro 5 standard were going to choke the whole exhaust system but it seems it doesn't. It's important to know because now I can just consider to look for a pair of mufflers only, without changing pipes.
