    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Seen at today's BMW MOA Rally in Redmond Oregon. I absolutely love it.

    Please consider Apple Car Play

    I think BMW should abandon Connected on their motorcycles and just adopt CarPlay / Android Auto. As a company, they've been resistant to smartphone mirroring even going as far as to put it behind a $200 subscription on their cars until it started to hurt sales when every other auto maker was...

    Scott Semone?

    I really thought that I had put something together but honestly, it's strung between posts/videos/voices in my head and never really got communicated well. This thread isn't really the place for it but I guess I owe that to the community even though it's not a hot-take or anything to dramatic. I...

    I just find it so hard to believe that you can't change your name back. The feature absolutely exists - https://xenforo.com/docs/xf2/user-name-change/#username-change-recent-limit

    BMW R20 Concept

    My plan when we move back to New Hampshire was to buy a used first edition base model. I miss the R18 motor and just want an around town cruiser but I think this is going to be the one I get. Not going to buy it new or at least not buy it the first year. They're going to want way too much for it...

    Anyone see Furiosa? Quite a few BMWs and R18s

    Logged in to share how awesome it was to enjoy over 2 hours of honestly, a fantastic motorcycle movie. I have creative and script gripes (huge movie buff here with 3,000+ movies in my house) and I was just disappointed with sound design, some of the intention 15 FPS frame rate, the generous use...

    Damaged R18, what would you do?

    Thank you! I think once we’re back in New Hampshire, I’ll grab a base R18 and it’ll be a fun weekend bike. It’s a fun motor, I love everything about the design. I just didn’t need a big touring bike. Combined with the crazy insurance and registration costs in NC, this is for the best. I’m...

    Damaged R18, what would you do?

    Looks like $12K was the right price. It sold today with the only delay being that when I paid the bike off in AUGUST, it took BMW Financial 3 months to write me a letter acknowledging payoff. I thought the title was coming...waited another month and called them "oh we sent you a letter it was...

    Factory break-in oil brand?

    You can report your first post and request it for sure. I’m sorry we upset you. I honestly thought it’d be a fun new oil thread and not cause you stress. I’m sorry.

    Factory break-in oil brand?

    You should just unfollow the thread but check back in 2-3 years when people are still discussing this.

    Factory break-in oil brand?

    Uh-Oh, oil thread. I use BMW oil for 600 mile service and again fro 6,000 mile and keep receipts. After that, I use the oil that meets spec which and is affordable. I get 50% off Motul oil through a sponsorship so I use their oil that meets spec & weight for all of my bikes. No issues.

    Damaged R18, what would you do?

    Exactly how I feel. I’ll have gotten $24K for a bike I paid $21,500 for and the next owner will get a bike that will be almost at the bottom of depreciation in 2-3 years with up to date service and warranty. I feel good about the pricing. I should have it sold in about a week.

    Damaged R18, what would you do?

    Hi all, I have been paid out by insurance and dropped the price on CycleTrader. I’ve now had about 10 bites (from 2 before the price drop) and 3 people are very interested in coming to check it out. No One has offered less than $12,000 yet which is a good sign that I priced it to move. Also no...
