Your writing skills took me alongside for the ride. Thanks.
I always ride in rock mode, usually 70-85 range (see my other posts) and get 43mpg.
I've extracted 170 miles from a tankful.
Once you hit reserve you have at least 30 miles, regardless of terrain.
But yes, it takes some nerves.
Suburbia and big city kids maybe, that's the nonsense you see on TikTok (which I don't have) but my experience is that once you go outside those you'll find hardworking young men and women in most of the country.
On 2023 BMW Motorrad reported global sales of R 18 Heritage models to be around 20K units.
From scouring reports with Grok, Copilot etc it seems R 18 sales are 5% of total sales today which would put them at around 10K units a year. In comparison G 310 sells about 22K a year and the GS about 70K...
Tastefully done. Even the glossy GPS looks fine. Though, wish you luck with the Nav VI. When I had my R 1200 GS went thru 3 units all replaced by Garmin due to the ghosting issue. Hope you get lucky.
