The fork legs on mine are shiny black not matt, have your considered polishing them up, might disguise that mark? Did you use a strap on the leg to tie it down or something? I’ve been caught out on that before.

Lovely bike Fabio, welcome along 👍

So that’s here UK, Sweden & Italy that have the fix in (albeit only three of us so far but it’s a start). Hopefully over the next few weeks this will really open up to get everyone who wants it booked in.

Ok, update for UK owners. Great news, literally just come off the phone with my nearest BMW dealer. They rung me! Fix is in, my bike is being collected 19 Feb, free of charge, taken in to fix and being returned the next day. They need it for a few hours apparently but tbh don’t care. Hoo rah...

Sounds beautiful. 👌

It’s not about parking downhill or other silly mistakes, the reverse is really useful when you have no choice. I have to ride into my garage and obviously reverse out, but my drive is gravel and I would say to you come over and have a go pushing 374kg backwards for me, its really not easy and...

Are you 100% sure your bike doesn’t have it? Scroll through your menu on the dash, look for HSC which (on mine) is either on or off. I’ve actually turned mine off. Your dealer should be able to tell you the exact specification from your VIN.

Over here our choice is being taken away from us. I presume you chose your Tesla because you wanted one, could afford one and you could adapt to how it needs charging (rather than filling up in the traditional sense). I wouldn’t describe it a simple though, not in a million years 😉

I expect where you live Snider1970 (is AZ code for Arizona?) you enjoy a more free and independent life to over here. We can’t even say what we think nowadays and have to be very careful what we write too. Certain words are verboten. Think California turbocharged. Regarding your laudable quest...

Well, tbh, when the issue first raised its ugly head the news came out at the speed of cold treacle and there was a lot of uncertainty around. It was a stop sale if I recall correctly in the USA and eventually all the different countries caught up to get to where we are now. TheMadMax location...

Afternoon all, Recently I came across a polish highly recommended on another bike forum, I decided to get some and tbh I have been really impressed with it. Now I must confess I’ve never heard of it and I think it’s an American brand but we can get it in the UK. It’s not expensive (IMO) and I...

Well that sounds very promising if it turns out to be true, you may be the first reverse ‘fix’ on the forum 👍

The horn on the Roctane is properly loud, enough to make someone ‘jump’ and it has a decent tone. It looks like a horn, as in snail shell sort rather than the round UFO bog standard type I had on my previous R18FE. Not sure whether it’s a straight swap. Might be another option for people.

If you do a search it’s been covered before, can’t remember the exact thread but it has been done already.

😉 lol 😁

Looks gorgeous 👍

Thought I best update the thread title, seeing as we now know for sure it’s all ok.

Well chaps (and any lady owners), this is something I’ve mused over a number of times. Just wondered if any of you have? We are told that the engine & gearbox weighs about 110kg, ok got that. So let’s take the smallest R18 with a wet weight of 345kg (for simplicity), where exactly is the other...

The 2025 pictures do show the reverse lever Hammo, it would be a PR disaster though IMO. I am hopeful we are close to getting our bikes sorted 🤞

So….I do wonder, with the official release of the 2025 model line up earlier this week, do these new bikes have the reverse enabled or disabled? I would hope, presume, expect they must surely have whatever is needed done to them, at the factory. Can’t imagine BMW releasing them to any journo’s...
