So here is my new bike. Indian Springfield with 116 cu in ( 1890cc ) engine. Driving slowly during "brake in" period.

So, here I'm. In August was travelling in Georgia, Tbilisi city and was able to test ride BMW R18. No, it is not mine, because I felt caged after Yamaha Drag Star. Then tested Indian Springfield and fell in love. Came back home, prepaid brand new Indian Springfield. Next day sold my bike within...

Good day to everyone! Today I bought my first bike Yamaha Drag Star 1100 ( XVS1100), 2006, 7500km on clock. Decided not to loose much time this season, so later will work on R18 purchase.

Thanks! Now I'm training on Yamaha, then will drive heavier bikes. I've to be prepared for R18.

Some updates 😁 Today have a ride on Kawasaki Z650 and then Yamaha Drag Star 1100. I definitely sticked on Yamaha as a cruiser, so I'm closer to buy R18.

Yes, it is OE adapter for OE jack, msrp is around 230$. Better to order from any machine shop.

Yes it is, but price is like they are made from pure gold.

There is special adapters for lifting. Part num 83305A24474 or good friend in machine shop :)

As per EU law, manufacturer is obligated to supply all parts within production and 2 years after finishing. As BMW is under EU law, they should supply all parts.

I already scratched my plan. 1. Travel to Germany for testdrive 2. Make a decision If YES, will buy it.

This video could be helpful. Valve clearance: Intake 0.20 mm. and Exhaust 0.40 mm. P.S. This guy developed program for BMW bikes service, called "Speed and adventure"

Thank you! Anyway I`m planning to buy R18, first or after other bike/s, just don't want to get into buying/selling challenge. 2014y R1200GS is for 18kEUR here ( just to show our market rates)

I was asking my dad to buy moped since I was 10yo. Finally when 3 years later my dad bought 50cc moped. It was very old and dreaming about scrap yard bike. First day I smashed into the wall, because of broken rear brake. As I told, moped was in very bad technical condition, so 4 days repair and...

I agree on each word above, but there I've give some inputs. Buying and selling here is a real pain. Price for used 2004yr Yamaha Drag Star 1100 is $7k, 2008 Suzuki Boulevard $8.5k. I'm already passing safety course, so shouldn't be any issues on this side. Thank you for wide responce.

I'm glad to hear that they enjoyed staying in Azerbaijan. Probably I'm first who is really interests in R18 here in Baku. I've to check with local BMW dealer possibility to order R18, as we have no BMW Motorrad dealer here. After test ride in Germany, I'll make decision to buy or not and from...

That's the main point. I was dreaming for bike too long and don`t want to waste any minute. Anyway I wanna to ride it first, cos my opinion is based only on Youtube videos and user feedbacks, then I`ll pull the trigger or stop it.

Thank you! Probably I`ll make short trip to Germany and rent R18C, to feel it. I was moped rider in childhood ( 13-15yr age, now I`m 37) and at the moment taked riding course. Trying to forget old non-acceptable habits )))

Good day to everyone! Planning to buy my first bike and I definitely want R18. Now I will highly appreciate your advice on this, because I`m stucked in the middle - buy Yamaha Drag Star 1100 ( 2004-2005) as first, then sell it next year and buy brand new R18 OR buy R18 a not waste my time. All...
