I ride my R18s out of the Tolland area in central CT, 35,000 miles on them since October 2020 haven't verified another one on the road yet. Riding mostly central CT, up to VT, NH, Upstate NY regularly, the R18 is a phenomenal machine. I'll try to get over on the 26th if I can, it'd be great to...

Bike is phenomenal, it's smoother and heartier as it gets more experience.

I received the Headlight recall for my 2022 TC, I do have hopes it's resolved soon. I will be riding up to Americade in Lake George New York and Laconia Bike Week in NH in May/June. It sure would be nice to get more R18's up there this year, new headlights will help pick it up!

I found my bike in the R18, I got one, and then added a couple more since, a Pure, Classic and TC. They all have very different personalities, and each is my absolute favorite when I'm on it. :)

Yup! First drop on my TC was in the garage, forgot to put the side stand down, :D

i carry a spare key fob battery in with my registration and insurance cards, so it's always on hand when I need it.

Thank you all for your efforts and communication. My 2022 TC FE shows up on the list using the link above to the nhtsa.bmwgroup site. This information will be very helpful convincing dealer of the issue, mine is not working properly but is not yet visibly 'broken'. ~ Dave

Hi Pierre, I do not see that on mine, checking just now I do see about 2-3mm clearance pretty evenly across beneath the tab, and there's been no sign of contact or movement since... over 5k miles ago. I see you do have the required spacer installed, that was my first suspicion. If the...

Yup, I ride my GSA more often than my R18s, but I ride the R18s much farther. I feel they are a superb compliment to each other.

Yup, the TC and the B are electronic... the Pure and the Classic are the key lock.

Yup! Just hold the power button for a few seconds, it'll lock... then press again to unlock, then again to power up the bike.. works really well.

Thanks Scott, great advice. I'll get that in the works pretty quick, with luck it'll be replaced before it fails. It's pretty much always been how it is now; it'll be nice to see how it's really supposed to work. :)

I secure my R18 by chaining it to another R18. :D

On my TC the headlight seems to work ok, as far as shining bright light on the road ahead of me although it doesn't seem to follow the road. The headlight is bright and strong, but I expect the beam would be a bit better balanced if it would center and move freely. The reflector stays off center...

I believe it's the satellite antenna on US models, I tried Sirius satellite music for a few months, got a free sample... it was nice, but i ended up preferring my own mixes so didn't sign up for the subscription.
