It’s probably worth listing it in the private market and see if there’s any interest. It might take a month, but in the meantime you can keep riding. Good luck!
After one year of ownership I traded my 2021 R 18 in for new 2026 R 1300 RS. I've been doing longer rides lately and had to make a choice on modifying (
windshields, fairings, etc) the beautiful and naked R 18, or getting something different. I opted to leave the bike as is and hope someone else...

This is where I bought mine:

These are honestly truly innovative. Aside from the amazing and clean look, because of the solid construction and light weight of these they suffer from far less vibration issues. Less distortion at faster speeds due to the reduced vibrations. If you are looking to upgrade your mirrors they are...
About a week or so ago I was on a little 180 mile ride with a buddy and we came across some pretty torn up roads. I hit one pothole and my dang mirror flew off! Everything was on tight, but the actual glass mirror popped right out of the frame. What an awful design, and for only $450 🙄...
Just an FYI to anyone still looking for a lidlox, there’s one left in stock at Dennis Kirk and it’s on closeout pricing. I’d snag it for myself if it wasn’t chrome

I wanted to push the look of my new (to me) R18 further away from my Triumph Bobber, and when I spotted a brand new RSD Fastback seat in brown leather for only $300 I snatched it up. I installed it with and without the included leather strap, and opted to keep it on for a nice finishing touch...
You do realize that BMW went hard after the HD market with the release of the r18, right? Regardless of when fishtails came out, they became synonymous with chopper culture in the U.S. and abroad. And chopper culture is a big part of HD culture. You have heard of the movie Easy Rider, right...
Thanks for the warm welcome. I find the fishtail design to be a bit too in the way, too quiet acoustically, too loud visually, and too much of a nod to the history of Harley type cruisers rather than a nod to Beemers of the past. There are tons of exhaust mods for the bike out there, and the...
Hi y’all. I found a gently used 2021 R18 with only 3K miles at a killer price, so I couldn’t say no. Gotta replace this exhaust at some point, but it’ll have to wait until I sell my Triumph. Love the bike so far otherwise. Cheers!
