2021 BMW R18 Classic
Hi All.
So happy I found the R18 Forums.
I am waiting to pick up my 2021 R18 Classic in Red this week. See the profile photo. only 5000 KM
Have owned a range of motorcycles over the last 40+ years ranging from dirt bikes to now the big cruiser. This is to replace my 20 year olkd BMW K1200S which Purchased new on arrival in Germany 20+ years ago.
If there are other members in he Nuremberg Germany area would love to catch up.

Comes with the engine protection bars already fitted. Have purchased a remoevable sissy bar for the passenger and also a rider back pad. Just need to wait to pick it up and fit the accesories.
 
Hi Red64, nice colour. Hope you really enjoy your bike, lots of info on the forum. 👍

Congratulations! We already have a true Classic since BMW dropped the fat front tire for 2025.

Yeah saw the change for 25 but could not stretch the budget to buying new. Will wait and see what my dealer has next year. Been going to him for 20 years so know them well.
My new ride was originally a staff bike. So they usually get lots of goodies and only kept for 9 to 12 months.

I absolutely love the fat front tire, so I am glad my ‘22 has it.
 
hahahah I love the countdown clock! It must be like the best Christmas morning ever. I grew up in Ringwood off 287 in Passaic Co, but my folks live in Blairstown now. some real nice riding up there. My dad and I went on a nice 100 mile day around there, up to High Point NJ, through all these great back roads. That was on my old Virago, haven't gotten the R18 up there, but hopefully this summer I will. Good times!

Yeah some great roads and diners up that way. Used to be my Sunday morning ritual. Up early jump on the then Kawasaki zrx and go in search of a diner for breakfast.

Still have some good friends in the Somerset area. Unfortunately have not been to visit for some time
