MOTORING's first post looked a LOT like my son's power-point presentation, as to why we needed to get a new puppy... In short, we now have two Vizsla's and a brand new R18 Bagger...
Having owned a couple of DUCATI bikes, a R1200 GS Adventure (2008 w/ 96k miles) and a K75 S (my first bike); I can honestly say that my R1200 GSA was my most favorite bike, which saw new DUCATI bikes roll into the garage and saw them roll out after being sold. It was the wind protection and the storage that caught me; however, riding a GS Adventure is EXTREMELY comfortable after an eight to ten hour day of riding... I'm 5' 9", which has always made the GSA too tall for me and I have always liked the feel of two feet planted on the ground when I would rent a Harley Street Glide and/or Road Glides..
When I saw the R 18 B; the math was super easy for me... Looks like a HARLEY, 0.9% financing, Money OFF, Feet are Well planted, Adaptive Cruise Control, Wind Protect, Music, Navigation, Storage Cases and just an overall cool look.. All of my buddies ride HD; they love my bike and the overall craftsmanship blows HD out of the water.
SLOW speed U-TURNS, I could easy turn-around on the GSA within two parking spots... I've been practicing with the R 18 B and I'm making U-TURNS at 2.5 to 3 parking spots at this point (ownership = 3 weeks). I find the bike comfortable after an eight hour day of riding..
Buy the Bike...!!
