"This bike leaves me a little unsettled when carrying out low speed manoeuvres and I am hoping time in the saddle will help in this area." I know exactly what you mean. I've had my TC for almost a year now, and the weight was a little (lot?) overwhelming at low speed, especially with a...

I've tried to reach out twice with no reply, so I'm taking SLR off my list of options. I guess that only leaves Brentune... although they're expensive there's plenty of positive feedback on this forum to probably justify the price.

I sent them an email asking if they had any dyno results or before/after comparisons. I'll share if I hear back. Personally I'd have a hard time spending that much $$$ without some Dyno verified numbers. An ECU tune is next on my upgrade list. I'm one of those lucky R18s that have the overheat...

Here you go...

LOL! :)

It's all good. I'm not looking for external validation - we all have our own reasons why we love our bikes. BUT... Unexpected compliments are always a nice surprise. My wife would not have been too happy if the Harley passenger tried to join us. Three's a crowd - even on a TC. :)

My wife and I were driving the TC in the Colorado mountains yesterday, and we passed a Harley Ultra (nice bike) on the highway. I didn't give it another thought. A few miles later we hit a red light and the Ultra pulls up just behind and to the right - close enough that I can hear their...

LOL - "except for the seat guy"

Pics would be awesome!

Because the R18 Lidlox are brand new, there is not a R18 model number shown on their website yet. When you order online there's a field that asks for the year, make, and model of your bike. I put "2022 BMW R18 Transcontinental" and Matt from Lidlox reached out directly to me. I'm sure you...

I forgot another important upgrade this week! I've not heard it mentioned here, but have heard it mentioned in several review videos about missing upshifts. I adjusted the toe and heel shifters and that helped. I think the front shifter is too short still. I installed the Wunderlich longer...

The Lidlox are great. I've been working with Matt at Lidlox, and I have the first (prototype) R18 versions. I agree, there's no room for much in the cases or topcase if you have to store helmets.

I installed the 20" and the coverage is much better than stock. I'm 6'4" with a tall torso, so I wish there was a 22" still offered - that would be about perfect for me. Like Nathan, I see well above the windscreen.

Installed the Jurock 20"windscreen, 2 Lidlox bar end helmet locks, Wunderlich topcase rack, and went for a long ride in the mountains!

Hmmm - Maybe the Bren Tune = better AF ratio = cooler temps? Just thinking out loud... I've seen on some other air cooled bikes (like Guzzis) where a remap seems to dramatically lower operating temps. My TC has under 500 miles, and the oil level is good and the oil cooler is clean. Bren Tune...

The warning doesn't give the actual temp. The ECU obviously knows the temp. Does anyone know if there's a way to display on the TFT?

Interesting - I had the same thing happen with my new TC last week (500 miles now) and was going to post here and forgot. It was the same situation... 70 degrees and stuck in traffic for 20 minutes inching forward occasionally. Once we started moving the warning went away. My take away is to...

The $6K+ discount included $2K from BMW... and I got the . 9% as well!

Sticker $30,190 Sales price $23,499 Tax, Title, fees, etc $2,277 ($1,951 tax) Total "out the door" price $25,776 I feel that's a very fair price. I wanted a TC since they came out, but was having a hard time justifying $30K+.

As a long time lurker (since last fall), I finally purchased a Manhattan Metallic TC yesterday from here in Colorado Springs. I’m very happy with the deal ($30K sticker, $23.5K sales price) and love the bike. I’ve been a motorcycle fanatic since I was a kid and started riding on a Honda Z50...
