I appreciate the response. FYI, I had been typing my last post before seeing your previous one.

Thanks. So, your before-tax price would have been $16,500. That's what I'm most concerned with - how far the price can be negotiated down (including customer cash) before financing but without sales tax, since that's state dependent.

If you guys don't mind confirming, so that I'm not comparing apples:oranges when I speak to the dealer tomorrow... @DG6n26 : R18 C FE Loaded. Price paid $14,995. This must have included the $3,000 in customer cash plus an additional dealer discount. This is irrespective of the $2,000 in free...

Hi TCClassic, Just so that we're not comparing apples and oranges, for clarity was your $15,500 out the door price irrespective of state tax? Further, does this $15,500 include, or not, the $2,000 in payments that BMW covers in the first 6 months? Thanks!

Thanks for posting these. It helped me decide I'll probably go for the Day Rider.

Thank you for that. An R18 C FE for $14,995 sounds like a fantastic price. Enjoy the bike!

Can you please clarify? Did the advertised price include the $3,000 customer cash and the $2,000 resulting from the $2,000 in 6 mo initial payments?

Great information. Thanks!. Looks like the weekender may be a good option for me.

Thanks for that insight! I'm speaking with the local dealership tomorrow. Very helpful.

I'm leaning towards getting a Day Rider seat. Can you confirm, and anyone else, that it in fact pushes you closer to the bars than the stock R18 Classic stock seat? How about seat height. Is it lower? Thanks!

Not to spoil the party here, but if anyone has any insight to whether or not an R12, based on the R nineT will be brought to the market, let's hear it...

Thanks for that photo - great ammunition for the conversation I'm planning with my wife after I speak to the dealership!

I have an R1200C and have been a big fan due to the unusual styling. I'm 5'5", with a 29" inseam. On the R1200C with its 29.1" seat height, my feet aren't totally planted. The R18's seat height is 27.2-28" (depending on model), and it's less top-heavy than the R1200C. I may drop the R18 seat...

FWIW, here's an article that I referenced before posting the original post. https://www.visordown.com/news/new-bikes/bmw-reported-be-working-smaller-r18-cruiser-called-r12

I support your points, I would suggest the reason the R1200C (which I have BTW) was not a great success is because of its styling, which was controversial at best. Further, the R nineT power plant makes 110 bhp vs the R1200C which makes 61, so I doubt anyone would feel an R12 would be...

I see your points, except that, if you aren't under 5'7 you may not appreciate how much a bike's scale and ergonomics, often with a 6' rider in mind, affects shorter riders. It goes well beyond simple handlebar placement. I am likely to pick up an R18, but will need some mods to get a...

Thanks! I actually did a test ride and was a bit stretched out. Having shorter legs, I am likely at an advantage with the foot controls and would get the heel shifter and floor boards for sure. My only real concern is reach and those risers you pointed out look like a great option.

Thanks! Those risers seem to be an excellent option. Does anyone know if swapping out the stock bars for the R18 B bars would add reach as another option and a more "stock/finished" look?

Hi, I'm looking to get either risers or bars with more pull back, but I'm not interested in beach bars. It appears that the stock R18 B bars have reduced reach as compared to the stock R18 C bars. Can anyone here confirm? Also, do the R18 B bars have any attachment points for the fairing that...

If BMW is listening, I believe there would be a market for the rumored R12 Cruiser - the little brother version to the R18 to be based on the R nineT power plant. This was rumored around this time in 2021, and it was suggested an unveiling might occur in October, 2021. Does anyone have...
