    R18 with Classic stock exhaust?

    I can claim I never wrote this post if I have to...like someone else did the post honest!!! I really do like my balloon shaped stock exhaust on my R18FE. Having said that, it seems the R18C exhaust will fit my bike. Is there any reason to change them out? Maybe just a bit of difference in...

    100th anniversary bags r18

    Where is a link to order these? Anyone have them and if so do you know how they compare to the standard r18 canvas bags? Hope at lease these are less expensive. I would prefer not having to order from overseas.’’ Also, if same bag volume as other standard R18 bags wonder if these are...

    Missed it by that much... Roctane

    Demo truck will be at dealer day after my birthday. Oh well, will go there anyway to demo ride the new R18 Roctane. Cann't help but think the side bags will be narrower then the stock R18 bagger. That one has speakers in the bags which I feel took up way too much space.

    Bmw CE04 dark side…

    Doing a demo ride on a ‘demo’ 2022 left over model a dealer has, top end trim model. Not cheap at all though they are clearing it out for only $12 vs retail of maybe $15. I know it is like 60 miles range more/less (at least 60 if not on highway maybe). Not the 0.9% finance rate I got on the...

    Got the email from motorrad usa saying 25% off accessories, geart and apparel. Now that is a nice BF deal in my book. Was ordering the solo seat from ft myers but now can order it from dealer closer to em and save a 4 hour ride each way.

    Not riding much…

    There was a time a motorcycle was my only mode of transporation…rain or shine. A time when, come vacation time, I would hope on my bmw (mostly a 71 r75/5) and ride out of State to bmw rallies. Don’t recall the ride part, all interstate highways, as being fun. Looking back it was NOT Lol...

    Staying cool,,,ways to do so

    Apology, since thinking this topic has already been covered one figures… So yes, we own a R18 of some trim so each can say we are the Cool kid on the block. Each of us, maybe more so then the other, since we each have our favorite trim we like :) Though what about that other ‘cool’ factor of...

    Feeling old… throttle wrist R18FE

    No reply needed unless you likewise feel this is an issue and/or resolved it. Possible I have just been using my ipad too much lately though noticed while riding the R18 it seems I have to bend my wrist a bit such that it rotates to increase throttle in a downward position which results in a...

    Weekender seat is a no go…

    Darn, 65 mile ride and it felt ok. A 120 mile ride and it is a no go sadly. Don’t know if the backrest is playing a part though I feel I am seating too close to end of the gas tank (my legs are very close to the back of the tank). I thought somewhere on the site there was a post that showed...

    Can Do…you do?

    While searching google for that windscreen rubber trim material I then check out their blog and read up on this product. I have never used it though have used the other fairing trim material and know that works. Might be worth a try. https://saeng.com/product/aerosol-polish-cleaner/

    Screen and rear shock

    So I picked up a MadStad screen. Had taken the bike there and they had already made the screen per my order, in case I wanted it. Had told them I wanted to drop by prior to make it to confirm height and tint. Anyway, it seems a good height and liked the light tint (first grade of tint). Came...

    The ride…

    He didn’t account for this; early morning exits are best planned not stirred. The night before presented no problem. The target was acquired and dealt with though had not planned for it to surface at sunrise. Oh well, time for action. He quickly dressed without waking her and, as prearranged...

    WTB - trade in your R18 for a B/TC...sell me the extras

    Ok, all you die hard R18 lovers out there. I know some of you are itching to give in and switch to a R18B or R18TC. Go ahead and 'jump the shark' :) Though let me know what farkles you took off the bike before trading it in. You know they give peanuts for accesories when trading a bike in so...
