    What Bike Would You Trade Your R18 for?

    I’m definitely considering it, didn’t want to pull the plug on getting the tool to reset the service reminders + a jack/lift for the bike yet. Will do it once the next service comes up.

    What Bike Would You Trade Your R18 for?

    Love my R18 Pure but BMW's service costs would make me go to a Japanese brand, I've considered going to an FJR 1300 but every time I leave the house with my R18, I change my mind. The smile factor of this bike is too big to ignore

    Hello! Thinking of the R18C for First Bike...

    I agree with everything here, I'd just add the following: if you start with the R18 as your first bike, are you comfortable with the possibility of dropping it?

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    She just cut and shaved some of the original foam to create a better back support and to relieve pressure on the sides based on my body shape, she also replaced foam with gel inside that marked area in the middle. I'm planning on having her do a custom seat project but I'll wait until winter for...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    This weekend I had an upholstery designer reshape the stock seat and insert some gel padding on it. It vastly improved the stock seat for a fraction of the cost of a new, better seat - I went for a 1h30min ride with the custom seat with zero fatigue or weird pressure points, it even made me...

    Hello from Canada

    That's Galaxy Dust, I fell in love with this bike the first time I saw it at the dealership, the only downside is that now I spend way more time at the garage than what I should just staring at the bike :LOL:

    Hello from Canada

    Hi, everyone! This weekend I've joined the R18 family with this new to me 2022 R18 Pure. Of course I had to hit the mountain roads right after taking delivery, the bike is a beauty and is so much fun to ride! This is my second BMW, traded off an F800 GT as I realized I prefer the riding...
