What kind of work did you have to get them to fit or did everything still have leftover slack? Is this the standard R18? I was considering putting risers but was worried about the lines and cables being cut to an exact length. Also, these are the WO811 1" risers, correct?
Thanks!
Good evening!
Selling my stock hi-seat as I immediately got a comfort seat. Its got about 60 miles or so of riding before my tailbone started to disagree. Can do $350 shipped but priced OBO. Can provide more pics on request!
Will ship to lower 48 states and can do Paypal.
Oh its too late man I got that one lol, took the hit but turned right back around and took advantage of their black Friday sale... Now I can properly commute and tour with it as intended. And the ergos are really comfy.
Morning everyone!
As per my last couple posts, I've had the R18 on the back of my mind as I crunched miles on the multi and last night I finally lubed myself up and went to the dealer. Funny enough, they had the bike outside already "on hold". Got it with select package and high seat for $14k...
If I were to add anything it would be a storage rack just to tie stuff on if I had to and the touring seat but outside of that MAYBE mini ape hangers of sorts since I am tall and the bars are a little low.
Hey guys,
So after drooling on these bikes for several months I finally decided to go test ride one and that was a mistake lol. Previous posts show I have a multi 1200 enduro and found the R18 to move like a cigarette boat and its endless torque band was hilarious. I do not understand what all...
Oh man that remind me of my dads road king.. its kind of the look I'm going for. And how does the classic handle in more spirited riding? got the 16" wheels no? so would be less clearance. Wish I can throw bigger wheels non-spoked on a classic.
Yeah initially I was really liking the urban GS but then the r1250r reminded me that was a no-go.. even now on the multi I sometimes feel like getting lower peg setups but the ride keeps me distracted lol.
Reason I keep leaning into the base R18s is because I don't want the big tft screens lol. Had a couple reviews saying the screen wasn't as intuitive and buggy vs the k1600. Dunno how true that is though in daily use.
$11.3k is a steal, I'd say.. local dealer has a 2022 FE for $14.7k. Total stunner, but haven't ridden it yet... I'd be amused if I couldn't stand it after 10 minutes lol the r1250r was already pretty bad on my knees after a half hour.
So that's part of what gets me.. did they short change the rideability of the lower trims to give people incentive to go for the bagger? Depends on how you see it, I suppose.
My father (who traded in his 1250r for a k1600 just this weekend) said I should just have two bikes since I seem to have an on/off switch for what I do. The multi enduro was my best way to get into something beyond a harley at the time but should have waited for an S model or something highway...
I am well aware I have made myself the rope in a tug-of-war between all the different versions lol, hopefully my prior riding preferences would help sort things out!
Greetings from Miami!
Up front I must clarify I have not gotten the chance to ride any of the R18 variants as of late as I don't want to spoil myself while I still have a couple years to pay current bike off (Ducati Multi Enduro). But I will also admit the R18, especially the one with the...
