I finally broke down and traded in my 2002 R12C, for another R18, this one a 2021 R18 Classic FE used with a few thousand miles on it from MAXBMW. Sad to see the old one go, but we had a lot of great miles and I will most assuredly ride the R18C more.

Welcome, thank you, and Merry Christmas Montecristo! 🎅

A while back, I grabbed the Mustang Vintage seat. It's got just a little more width and cushion than stock but retains a nice minimal profile. https://www.r18forums.com/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-r18-today.97/post-16349

On delivery, the owner's manual and a warranty booklet came in a Plastic packet.

7,805 on my 2021 R18FE since october 2020 10,199 on the 2022 R18TC since october 2021 just so you don't think I've been slacking... I got a short suspension GSA same time as my 2021 R18FE 7,197 on my 2020 R1250GSA since october 2020

Android with about 10k mp3 files, free media player app. On my TC, I cannot see library, but once starting a playlist, album, or artist on the phone... it'll play through the list on the bike, I can move next, last within the list when viewing media full screen on TFT. The playback pauses...

I expect it's comfortable, I like the wide tail, and the air suspension seems like it'd be a great feature. A bit of an aesthetic departure perhaps, but on target for fit and function. 👍

My observations for the First Editions release dates/model years: The First Edition Base and Classic were released late 2020, as model year 2021. I have a 2021 FE Base and got it from my local MAXBMW as soon as it was available in late October 2020. It's got about 8k miles now and better than...

hi motoring, the sole/peg comment relates to the flat boot sole, flat heel to toe, no arch groove.. so sliding foot forward and back maintains good contact with the footpeg/pedal.. for knee comfort, the additional drop though small is a benefit i noticed as well. (I hope Wunderlich makes a...

I put the Wunderlich Lowered Footpegs on my 2021 R18FE, they were a direct swap with the original round foot pegs. I've been very pleased with them, as they are lower and offer a significant range of positions sliding foot forward and back. My favorite Gaerne riding boots have flat soles...

Yup, I put the same BMW foot pegs on my 2022 R18 TC.. my other bikes all have foot pegs so it made sense for me, I agree with your observations, especially on ankle room at stops, and even though floorboards do really rock on the freeway I really prefer the foot pegs for dynamic riding, really...

I use a moto e5 go, fits nicely without a case. added 128gb for music :cool:

That's a good job done, now we're all experts! 👍 Thanks for the update!

I haven't actually done that part, looking at the R18 key fob, the pin is exposed when the key is unfolded partway. Perhaps the pin could be driven out and replaced in this position. I suspect a key-maker could also help out installing the bit if needed.

aye, and there's nothing quite like the Pure/C... after rides on the Pure I often find myself musing about the incredible degree of satisfaction I get from the machine. Like they say, it's a motor, wheels and not a whole lot else, but what a soul! :)

Yes, I also have had great experience with the Wunderlich support folks. Although i was very sad to remove them and based on my conversations I expect it may be some months before the new ones are available, I really do like them and look forward to re-mounting them again. Besides, taking the...

Very nice, looks like bars and controls are well appointed. Question, what's the gauge next to the speedo? For engine temp?

Sure thing, yo kate_brett, just let me know how i can assist.
