New owner from the UK

[Boiled Octopus]

Hi all, name's Alister!

Picking up my R18 FE, latter part of this week. Fell in love with it after a test ride and had to have it - I felt like Gollum with the ring!

Welcome mate, the UK members are growing! Pull up a chair and grab a coffee- plenty to read on here. Whereabouts in the UK are you?

Congratulations! You won’t regret it. I’m a Brit that lives in Malibu, so the bike is just perfect for Caynons, Pacific Highway (etc) but it’s just as effective in urban environments. Eitherway, you will have a blast!

Sounds more appealing than the UK!

Pro-rata I wonder if R18 is selling better in UK & EU than US.

Welcome and congratulations let’s see a picture of the beauty! Here is mine

She's a beaut! Picking mine up tomorrow!

Went for quite a long ride yesterday on the Bavarian Beast, and the suspension is very hard. Back is hurting a bit this morn'! Will have to check the settings and adjust, to see whether it's correct for my weight. Absolutely adore this bike though. What a cracking machine!

 

[Anibal]

Yup, the suspension was set on the Shipping mode to avoid the bikes bouncing up and down on transit. Once adjusted you will find it more comfortable. Enjoy your new ride.
