    R18 Classic Gas Tank Question

    I don’t think it is possible. There are many differences between the Classic & Bagger that would make it difficult. I agree that the tank isn’t great on the Classic but I can squeeze 150-160 miles from mine on my 75 mile commute mainly on motorways cruising at 70mph. I always reset the trip...

    BMW R20 Concept

    Well let’s not forget it wasn’t too long ago that our beloved R18 was a concept.

    Windshield Options

    I bought one of these from Amazon for my Classic. Makes life a lot more pleasant! I bought it thinking if it worked I’d invest in a Puig or similar screen extender but I haven’t changed it & I’ve ridden a lot of miles with it on. So may be worth trying one & if it doesn’t work for you it’s $15...

    Duration of ownership??

    But make sure the panel is well attached! I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s lost the right side side panel!

    Duration of ownership??

    I fell for the R18 when I first saw one in 2019 when I bought an R1200R from a Motorrad dealer. Never thought I’d own one but after my Dad died in July 2022 I bought one-a 6 month old first edition Classic. I’ve lost money on it no doubt but I bought it as I believe it is a work of art both...

    Rider Comfort

    Inflating Tires

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0837P2YXN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Bought this last year & take it with me whichever bike I’m on. Takes awhile to inflate a tyre if it needs a lot of air but it manages. Still need the valve adaptors on my Classic though. My GS has...

    U turns

    There are some interesting tips in this Fortnine video. I know LAPD don’t ride R18’s (wouldn’t it be cool if they did?!!) but a lot of the principles are salient.

    719 seat

    I’ve recently bought the BMW Day Long seat which is wider than the stock seat & I find much more comfortable. The pillion seat padding is twice as thick as the standard one & slightly wider too. The seats have the BMW logo but are made by Mustang.

    NOW SOLD …R18 Day Rider seat set in black for R18 Classic & R18

    Just noticed the screen extension you’ve fitted. Does it make a difference & where did you get it? I’ve been thinking of getting one as I get a fair bit of buffeting. Cheers

    R18 Transcontinental handlebars installed on Classic, makes for an additional 4.5 inches of reach

    Good job & IMO they look more at home than the factory bars. I love my Classic but I’m now looking for ways to improve my comfort. I’m starting with a Day Rider seat I’ve purchased from a fellow forum member & this could be the next mod to my bike.

    NOW SOLD …R18 Day Rider seat set in black for R18 Classic & R18

    Hi Jon, Subjective question but is the seat more comfortable than the standard one? I’ve got a Classic too. Thanks, Paul
