You might want to take a ride on whichever model you're interested in and judge for yourself. Having ridden a standard FE, and owning a Classic, I'm not what has you worried about the "limited rear suspension". There were, evidently, dealers early on who didn't read the setup instructions and didn't adjust the suspension out of its shipment setting.... Maybe you read something about that? In any case, I find the suspension on my Classic perfect for the bike.Probably not the best place to post this comment though for R18 owners (actually anyone that got a model with the limited resr suspension) do you now feel it is too limiting or would you now prefer the R18B model (since I infer it is the closest to the R18FE option wise). I know there is a Classic model (thinking that just adds windscreen, maybe rear seat, and believe basic cruise control)n yet retains the original R18 limited rear suspension.
I guess I could live with a small tank but thinking that rear shock limited travel would not make my old back happy.
Now that we know what is out there and some lower pricing I don’t think I could pick a R18 just to save X amount of $.
Uncertain that I ran across replace rear shock that would fix that issue.
