Well, don’t know if I will ever happen upon a low priced used R18 or not. Let alone low price and one with cruise control or a build date after 2/28/21 (to add cruise after the fact). I do know I could not help myself and picked up two ’fish’ on a clearance table at a bike shop. Seems some like the vans? exhaust over the original FE exhaust.
At first when I saw the R18 on the internet I was not certain I cared for them, let alone if they reduced cornering clearance any or not. I mean they look like ballon inflated pipes with a fish tail right
If nothing else, being single, I can mount one on a wall as part of a Bike Cave to look it as art work. Might sound crazy though I am liking how this Fish exhaust looks. Not a clue how it performs on a R18. I am not that big into loud exhaust, though maybe there is truth in that saying that loud pipes save Lives thing.
At any rate, I did not intend to go fishing but fishing I did and feel she/they are a keeper. Sadly she just does not come with any wheels nor other parts required to make her a rideable R18 but the price was so low, which I will not say, that I could not say no to the deal.
