I have "several" bikes. Moved my primary residence to Soutwest Florida recently and had to decide which bike to keep here. It surprised me, but I came to the conclusion that if I had to pick just one nice weather bike, the R18 was it. It was a ton of fun riding it from Maryland to Florida in...

Having fun playing around with a 360 degree camera

That's a really dressed up R1200C

There was an earlier thread on this topic. This one will likely devolve in much the same way as the other... :)
