Hello all,
I am thinking of riding my newly purchased R18 c from Chesterfield , MO to Atlanta, GA. ( 600 miles ).
The motorcycle has 18 miles on it.
Question: Will the long distance and speeds up to 80 mph affect the break in?
After much thinking, I finally bot a New old stock 2023 R18C. zero miles , from Gateway BMW Chesterfield MO.
Two weeks ago I rented a 2021 R18 from Riders Share. I loved the bike and was hooked .
12,000 USD , out of the door.
What do you think?
These trainer wheels are so pathetic.
To master U turns and slow speed turns, learn the simple technique of friction zone while keeping the head and eyes turned.
It is easy to practice figure of 8s and U turns even on a heavy bike. Highway patrol police officers do it all the time.
I think it is an amazing bike. I rode around 50 miles yesterday on I-85. It was pure pleasure.
This bike is a poetry in steel.
By the way what do the abbreviations NOS and TC mean.
Thanks for your reply.
I am seriously looking into buying R 18
Today I will rent a R 18 in Atlanta for 3 days.
Which model to buy.
I am not a interstate long distance rider. Mostly cities
Hello. Here are my 2 cents.
NEVER use the front brake at the final stop. And keep handlebars straight.
Handlebars turned and front brake on will pull the bike like a magnet to the ground.
Practice by stopping the bike with rear brake only ( final 2-3 feet).
