I found the video by @Scott Semone really helpful. But before I order a Kern-Stabi lift, I wonder if anyone has yet developed a less expensive alternative? I recently acquired a well-maintained J&S motorcycle lift, which I can use to lift my HD Police Electra Glide. Harleys are designed to be...

Just installed the 21-inch Clearview recurved shield on my R18 Classic. I’m 6-4 and look at the road over top of the shield. Will be interesting to see whether this eliminates the buffering I got with the stock windscreen.

Installed the RSD Fastback seat by Mustang on my R18 Classic today. Looks good! Haven’t tried it out yet but installation was easy.

Craig at Clearview Screens says they are currently running about 15 working days lead time to manufacture and ship new windshields.

I'm not surprised. I just bought my new 2021 R18 Classic from a dealer in the San Francisco Bay Area. Although it's not a First Edition, it has both the Premium and Select packages. It was a demonstrator with just over 100 miles and they discounted it so heavily it cost me less than you're...

Clearview now has the R18 replacement windshields available for order on their website. https://www.clearviewshields.com/motorcycle-windshields/bmw/bmw-r18-classic-replacement-windshield/

@Lepisale, Did you ever get your Clearview windscreen? If so, how do you like it? I'm 6-4 and am considering ordering a taller windscreen to reduce helmet buffeting. I'm curious how your Clearview screen is working.

I just ordered the CarCovers standard cover for my new 2021 R18 Classic. Thanks for all the good advice!

Trying on an R18 B at CalMoto in Livermore, CA

@TCClassic sounds good! I get the impression that buyers are not yet lining up outside BMW Motorrad dealerships, waiting to buy the R18. So in an effort to bolster first year sales figures, dealers are heavily discounting these bikes while offering very generous manufacturer incentives. That...

My experience mirrors yours. Here in northern California, Harleys are evidently in such demand that dealers don't need to discount their bikes below MSRP. Sometimes they even add a dealer markup over MSRP. No, thanks! Turning our attention back to BMW, I suppose the only question is whether...

@nielsm Since I haven't picked up my bike from the dealership yet, I wonder if I can ask them to substitute the Weekender seat for the stock seat at no charge? I've heard others say they asked the dealer to swap out the stock seat for a higher seat meant to accommodate taller riders like me...

@TCClassic as others have said, the deal you're getting is pretty good. But the dealer forcing you to go for BMW's EasyRide financing is a big red flag and may not even be legal. EasyRide is just a short-term loan with a balloon payment. You'd be far better off with 0.9% for 60 months. For...

Friends: In the process of making a deal for my 2021 R18 Classic First Edition, I had the opportunity to compare the pricing and incentives offered here in northern California on the 2021 BMW R18 Classic and Harley's 2021 Heritage Classic. BMW Motorrad is offering $3,000 customer cash, 0.9%...

Thanks for this great review, @WaydeG ! I just put a deposit down on a 2021 R18 Classic First Edition. Can't wait to pick up my new bike! I've been riding a 2004 R1200C Montauk for a while. I enjoy that bike but it's a lot lighter than the R18. I'm also 6-4 and 225 lbs with a 34-inch inseam...
