Hello all

Hi all,

New R18 Classic owner from Melbourne, VIC. It is sad to not see more R18s on the road in Australia. I chose to go with R18 after a lot of research. It is a beautiful and unique bike which makes me like it a little more every single time I ride it!

The pinstripe on the matt paint looks good. Is that factory or did you add them?

 

[Aymuos]

That is factory..

Welcome to the forum.
Don’t see a lot on the road here in the father land either.

Thanks… that is such a shame, as it is a beautiful piece of machinery!

Thanks! I needed the research to get out of the “V-twin mindset”! I see that I you are in Oregon. I am in San Diego till the end of the year - some great roads to go for a ride on the west coast!!

Welcome… nothing like that big black engine on the big beast.
Well done on a great choice as there’s numerous ‘Classic’ riders on this forum who you will find extremely helpful.
In the meantime, start ordering useless sparkly things that add to its looks

Welcome, the best choice but then again I might be biased. You will find this bike will get further under your skin each time you take it out.

Haha, the ordering process has already started!
