I really like their overall stability and that everyone has genuine knowledge and is an enthusiast. All too many shops suffer from huge turnover and the problems that brings to customer service are very damaging to creating "long dollar" relationships. As to a "Cheers, where everyone knows your...

I can't think of a better group of folks to deal with. Justin has helped me out since he was with Myers and I was very glad to see he and Thomas bring such a great team together when Eurosport was becoming a reality. While I've had very good dealings with Greenville and Charlotte prior to them...

I did, but just fell in love with the Classic's looks. The bagger has some very objective benefits as to geometry, fuel, rear shock travel, etc., so it was more "heart than head" when I made the choice. My biggest fear was fuel range as I ride whatever I have all over our lovely Region as well...

Yes and within obvious platform limitations the R18 platform is a better "Roadster/Standard" than many appreciate. While long, heavy and having less cornering clearance (see "obvious limitations"), the chassis is very good, you'll need to incorporate more rear brake in conjunction with the front...

Looks like a great day of riding and that is a nice "Elco"!

Beautiful bike, congratulations 🍻 🍻

Go to the BMW Motorrad USA website and open the models tab and then the group, model(s) you are interested in can then be researched. There are also endless other site options if you simply search a particular model and include "specs/specification" in your query. click

It comes on by mileage and/or calendar intervals and will also advise service is due soon. I'm guessing it's been a year since it was last serviced or the reminder wasn't reset when it was last done. A worst case scenario is where I have read certain dealers have done a regular service and left...

yes

Congrats on getting the footplates scrubbed in. We see a bunch of great riding in winter months, but black ice from snow melt that refreezes overnight and/or hoar frost that lingers in shadows until the pavement warms a bit in the late morning sun has given me more than one pucker factor...

The R18"FE", Classic and R9T variants LED headlamp should fit and while the design is different it too has the lean angle feature. I've mentioned this a few times in this thread and suggested when owners with a lamp failure are speaking with their shop to see if these or any of the other quality...

Congratulations and the red is 😍. I’ve ridden my Classic with the weekender seat around a good loop from the Smokey’s to the Cascades and back and it’s a better tourer than I would have thought at first. I ride relaxed paces with as much two lane as possible and she was fine for 500-600 miles a...

Couldn't tell from your comment, but get the BMW extended warranty not an aftermarket option. They just started offering these last year and will be the best option IMO.

Beautiful color! Congratulations and enjoy 🍻 🍻

Thr R18 is a great "roadster" and a much better handling bike than many give it due credit for and it looks like you're getting nice even wear front and rear. Sooner or later you are limited by running out of tire and/or ground clearance and it appears safe to say you are "at the limit" of this...

The front does a bunch of work on these with the weight and long wheelbase especially with spirited riding on our Appalachian's tight and twisty roads.

I also check mine with my cell phone camera. When i stop for fuel I usually take few minutes break and when i get back on the oil has had plenty of time to settle and i simply hold the bike level and use video mode to check the sight glass area and then i can easily see the oil level. Working...

Mine got smoother with racking up miles while routinely running up and down the entire RPM range. By 4,000 miles it was noticeably smoother and just kept on getting better 2-3X that mileage. While not a huge difference from min-max clearance when adjusting valves it is possible that one may...

It's not a counterbalanced engine and the mass of the internals add to the "personality" of this platform. I enjoy the visceral qualities and I can offer this engine will really smooth out as you add the miles (4,000ish was really showing smoother feedback and continues to better over 2-3 times...

"Glad" that was the cause and easily sorted. It reminds me of numerous worries of leaks on new Triumphs in the early 2000s that were actually cosmoline residue dripping from various nooks and crannies after the protectant was (mostly) cleaned off for prep, but wind and engine vibration when...
