    Just got on board

    Welcome! That's a cool color. I have the same bike in first-edition black with pin-striping. Hope you love the bike and enjoy it as much as I do mine!

    R18 B/TC and the TFT

    I had my B in for break-in service this week. I bought it on August 20. Software update that the dealer estimated would take 4 hours ended up taking 8. Tech told me that the bike was several updates behind and that they needed to do better updating the software on bikes before they leave the...

    2022 R 18 B & R 18 TRANSCONTINENTAL WITH 1.9% APR FINANCING + 3 MONTHS PAYMENTS ON BMW + $3,000 CUSTOMER CASH

    Figured a better deal would come out right after I bit on a B. Still, got a great deal on my trade, .9% financing, and did the deal before my job at a boarding prep school kicked in--summer vacation is over, and I'm working about 80 hours this week. Teaching, coaching, and supervising. At...

    I finally made the leap!

    I bought the Bagger last week. You did well. BMW incentives and dealers seem to want to move 'em. End of the season is approaching . . . I guess.

    Welcome from Connecticut. I felt the same way after a test ride: didn't want to give it back! Enjoy and ride safely.

    R18 hit while parked

    It might be better to total the bike and start fresh. A few years back, my wife got T-boned at an intersection in our late-model Subaru Forester. Damage was $16K, and the insurance company decided to have it repaired. We got a loaner for 3-months, and the car never worked right after that...

    It's fantastic! I saw that review, too, and concur about bias. Sigh!

    Washing Care

    Just picked up a new bagger. When washing, do I need to take care about keeping water away from the speakers? How do B and TC owners deal with that?

    Lurker looking at an R18B purchase

    This is a difficult and quite personal choice. The Classic and the B are so different, in large part because of the electronics suite on the B. Mine has active cruise, the huge media screen, 4 big speakers, radio, nav, streaming music, heated seat, and e-suspension. I'm saying this as a way...

    Track near me

    Hudson Valley Motorcycles sponsors track days out of a track in NJ--they're in Ossining NY. MAX BMW holds BMW-only events at Lime Rock, in Western CT. I've participated in those. They're a lot of fun. If you check the websites for those dealers, you can find out more.

    Setting the proper preload for the rear suspension

    Thanks for the help everyone!

    Setting the proper preload for the rear suspension

    Okay, all, please don't clobber me for a simple/probably stupid question: Having trouble removing the right side cover (where the suspension adjustment is). I read the manual--it's pretty vague on this--shows what looks to be pins holding the cover in place. I reached in the corners with my...
