What seat is stock on the Classic?Picked up my new R 18 Classic on Saturday 1/23/21. Awaiting floor boards and heal & toe shifter to come in. After my K1200 LTC, this feels much more responsive and I really like the ride. Now off to the North Georgia mountains to break in the engine.

The side bags on the R 18 Classic do not use that bracket. They have two screws that mount the bag directly to the rear fender. There is a lower bracket by the vance and hines exhaust that holds the lower part of the bag in place.could you please remove the side bags to see if the Saddlebag Brackets are the same that I already have on my R18 Thanks, and by the way, beautiful bike
The BMW logoed seat.What seat is stock on the Classic?
Heel/toe shifter is supposed to come as standard with the floor boards. My salesman Rick is checking with the BMW rep to find out why mine came without. So didn't pay any more for them.Did you order heel/toe separately? How much $ was it? Thanks
Supposed to be standard with the Classic model.Did you order heel/toe separately? How much $ was it? Thanks

So far, am enjoying the ride. Now have just over 100 miles on the R 18How is ride.. the 16" thick tyre? Thank you
I'd like to know that too.Is there a different in handling between front 19" and 16" dimension.
16" and 17" wheels fall in motorcycle handling's sweet spot - 16.5", racing territory for many years. World Superbikes switched from 16.5" to 17" in 2013, mostly driven by cost, then British Superbikes in 2014, and finally MotoGP to 17″ in 2016. 16" with fat tyres makes for good handling without sacrificing comfort. 17" is mostly found on super/sportbikes and 18" on cruisers. 19" is more popular and functional with (on/off-road) adventure bikes, while 21", offered optionally for the R18, are popular on hard-core adventure bikes, baggers and some cruisers. e.g. the H-D Breakout. The latter in terms of form rather than function. More ridiculous 23", 26" etc. front wheels are mostly confined to baggers only travelling between the house and the pub/bar (-:I'd like to know that too.
I'm looking for a "classic" buyer who could want to trade my 19" for his 16".
I like the big fat look of the 16" tire.
I couldn't order my first edition with it.
