11,XXX, 2021 R18C since November 2021. On track for my average 15,000-20,000 miles per year. Zero problems with longest ride just made, 3000 mile run with a nice enjoyable pace of 500+ miles per day. Looked forward to getting back on her after each stop too.

Long way from the Appalachians and my philosophy at this point in my life……

4900 mi ... no problems

 

[esmurrell]

I have had a TC for about a year with 3,830 miles. No problems. Great bike. Just need a more comfortable seat.

Had my classic for a month and was away in Romania for 8 days and I’ve covered 1300 very very enjoyable miles

I agree about the seat. In two weeks I’m sending my seat to Russell DayLong Seats in CA for their fix plus a backrest. Ever since I first had a backrest, I can’t go without one.

I agree with both of you...I really want to do something with the seat issue. Just not sure what that is....any suggestions??

About 3k in one year of ownership, mostly early on. I think I’ve ridden it maybe twice in the last couple of months?

 

[PistolPeteSTL]

Bought last October, somewhere around 1,800 miles. Of the 4 bikes I ride regularly, the R18 gets ridden the least.

 

[Bmw newbee]

Bought August 12 2022. Have 1100 miles so far.
Had to slow down riding the first two weeks due to 500 mile service being two weeks out.

 

[nielsm]

I haven’t done any trips this year, the one I had planned to do on the R18 I had to cancel when I got COVID the day before I was to leave, so all my miles are from day rides. I’ve had my R18 about 9 months now, a bit under 3000 miles. I have 4 other bikes I split time on, so if my R18 was an only bike would have been closer to about 8 or 9K miles.

Russell will build a backrest from your original seat pan plus make a pocket to sit in. They add material to the front crotch…..that’s what I’ve been told.
