    Not your typical R18

    Sure, keep it on here... it's clever enough. Looks photoshopped. I think we all laugh a bit about our bikes and our "big heads".

    Roland Sands Wheel for R18

    Oh, my, my, my... WHAT A BEAUTY!!! One of the best I've seen with the fishtails! Very tastefully done with the copper trim. I personally have the fishtails on an FE and I find it difficult to visualize what can make them look appropriate but you have done them justice!

    Key Fob/Battery issue

    I had the same problem but fixed it by bending the contacts closer the the rim of the battery. So I agree 100% with JeffwithG.

    Handlebar Risers not seating

    I have these as well and they have the same gap. Ridden about 10,000 miles with no problems.

    My $23,000 Boat Anchor thanks BMW

    I appreciate this comment! So many people don't understand this concept or in other words, "what's your test group?" I don't post very much for the very reason stated above: I don't have issues. I am one of those 2021 FE owners with almost 10,000 miles and not any problems (that I haven't fixed...

    Thoughts on First Edition

    I've got about 10,000 miles on my '22 FE. I did a 6,000 mile loop last summer. Seat no problem - it's easy to ride through a full tank.. Suspension no problem - I read the manual, I adjusted the shock. Too easy. Wonderful bike. No more HD Low Rider.

    Look for 1st edition welcome box

    Welcome kits came with each bike and we're specific to the VIN numbers. I got mine from the dealer with the bike.

    6,000 miles service cost is ridiculous!

    I bought my FE in Louisville. Do you live there? I'm in Indianapolis about 2 hours away.

    Poll about Final Drive (Bevel Gear) Oil Spillage on the rim and tyre

    I have this problem. And I don't think it's the final drive oil. (*) I think it is the spline lube. I never had a problem until I took it in for the "recall" and THEN it started coming out. I took it back in and they re greased it with a smaller amount. I left on a 6,000 mile trip and it...

    Sales numbers

    Sometimes I think I'm the only one in the state of Indiana that has one' Our local BMW dealership has the same R18s on the floor as they did a year ago!

    Looks pretty simple and straightforward

    I totally agree: the German engineering and design is still there but the assembly is sloppy; I too have very low torqued bolts.
