    Adaptive Headlight Recall Update

    Wrong info from the dealer. A stop sale is just that cash or otherwise. “It is a violation of Federal Law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by the notification under a sale or lease until the defect or...

    What Bike Would You Trade Your R18 for?

    I have owned Harley’s, Honda and primarily bmw. I currently own a 2022 R18B, 2021 K1600GTL, 2023 R1250RT and 2023 R1250GSA. I ride all the bikes frequently and love them all. But, the R18 speaks to me. That nostalgic sound and feel, the fit and finish and free feeling one get pulling the power...

    R18/R18C to R18B

    I had a couple classics but now have a 2022 R18B. Made the switch it get tubless tires, forged wheels, better suspension, fuel gauge and dash and bigger fuel capacity. No turning back, loving the bagger!

    I would shop it. The warranty cost can be negotiable.

    Revsrse to 1st gear

    Three months away from warranty expiration? Look into BMW’s extended warranty option before your existing warranty expires. Worth it

    My $23,000 Boat Anchor thanks BMW

    Exactly what are you trying to accomplish here? No one else on the forum has experienced the severity of your claims. You are wearing us out with the constant hounding. Get ride of the bike, move on. I love my R18B and seriously question your motive and claims. Maybe you should move to a G310R.

    Updates for 2024 R18B

    They are not going to implement Apple Car Play for safety reasons. They want you to keep your hands on the handlebars versus you pushing links as you travel down the road !!!

    BMW Roadside Service-What a Joke

    Yesterday I hopped on my 2022 R18B and drove some 8 miles to the Post Office. When I came out my battery was dead, probably from the cold weather. Anyway, I called Roadside Assistance for help. They sent me a text 15 minutes later telling me they were “searching for the best available provider”...

    R18 lean angles

    Download the BMW Motorrad app, connect it to the bike and go out and drive some twisties. The app will tell you your left and right lean angle on that specific ride and road. Keep bending the bike over until you get maximum scraping then check the app. Given your load and weight, you might get...

    R18 Bagger Wannabe?

    forget what theses naysayers say. Make up your own mind. Spend some test drive on the machine and draw your own conclusions. I own a 2022 R18B and ignore the negative comments on this forum. To each his own. Good ride it and enjoy!

    Inflating Tires

    You would think BMW would put the 90 degree stems on the classic. Installing air is a pain in a Classic especially at a gas station where you typically have to pay for it. I recently bought this Ryobi inflated which works great. It is very portable, has an accurate gauge and fills instantly...

    Bagger vs Classic

    I had two Classics, a 2021FE and 2022. Loved them both but have since moved to a R18 Bagger. My reason are; smoother ride, larger fuel tank, tubeless tires, cast wheels, fuel gauge and sheer looks. No regrets. Weight does not bother me, makes it more stable on the road and better wind...
