    Welcome and congratulations! If you look through the forum there are several discussions on accessories and a bunch of photographs to compare that may help narrow your choices. I may be biased, but picking the Classic to take home was an excellent decision, enjoy!! 🍻 🍻

    Battery Problems

    Thanks for the additional info and please share the display readings when you get a chance as they will be very helpful. We're all making a "swag" at best as we aren't able to be hands on so the clearer the circumstances are understood the better the suggestions can be. A couple thoughts in no...

    Battery Problems

    This is a frustrating thread to read, lots of words with little information as to specifics. In general if one doesn't have competent trouble shooting knowledge and tools to make a proper methodical component by component and connection by connection checks I would advise not to guess especially...

    R18 Classic front end hopping vibration

    I'm guessing Covid had much to do with tires sitting around regardless Brand. The sizes aren't unique to the R18 and not so many months ago bikes were held at the port until Bridgestone tires were replaced prior to shipping them to dealers so a problem tire can be out there regardless supplier...

    New R18TC in South Carolina

    Welcome! Similar rides from long ago, several SL Hondas (100, 125 and 250), Vic Cross Roads and I didn't need to look up the RE-5 as I worked for a Suzuki and Maico Dealership when they came out, very cool motorcycle for sure!! The Victory offerings are great bikes and I still haven't forgiven...

    50 + M.P.G.

    Figured I'd update my M.P.G. observations as I'm working towards my 18K service (after a fill up I always do the math and then compare to the bike's display). My bike uses no oil, starts and runs well and was broken in with regularly stretching her legs across the RPM range while riding up and...

    Transmission and Read Axle Differential Oil

    A search will show quite a bit of information on this that has been discussed. @Adrian R and @Scott Semone summed up the bottom line nicely. My dealer buys in bulk and confirmed it is the "right spec" after I double checked seeing I was charged less than $8.00 on my first final drive refresh...

    Nazare (portugal)

    Thanks for taking us along for the ride! I've enjoyed many miles on my R18 Classic to include extensive touring across the US and while I would have greatly enjoyed some of your touring upgrades (suspension, petrol capacity, etc.), my overall satisfaction and enjoyment mirrors your assessment...

    Jekyll and Hyde Exhaust

    I can say that the exhaust note on my Classic became deeper as the mileage increased and reminded me of when some of the muffler packing would be lost over time in my bikes years ago. I'm not aware that modern exhausts have anything similar in their construction, but others on the forum have...

    Hello from WV

    Welcome and congratulations! I love visiting your beautiful state and ride there often (WV visit). My Classic is closing on it's 18K service and has proven 100% trouble free and has been a total hoot on our lovely Appalachian roads as well as riding her across the lower 48 and back. Your extra...
