The R18 is a bling bling bike—perfect for a short ride to the bar or an AA/ NA meeting. Out in the desert or the mountains, the limited fuel range becomes an issue. Though it technically needs gas every 100 miles, in reality, you’ll find yourself stopping every 50–60 miles due to how far apart...

Can we still get in on this? If so I want one.

Thanks, looking at an Airhawk. Was not sure about size. Because of the cut of the seat. you are the one to reference a size.

Picked this up used from a member who had moved on to a GS. I am very happy with the Madstad windshield. I think it is the best made out there for the R18. The build quality is superior to other after market windshields. It looks great on the bike and is easy to take off and on. I had a German...

I agree if you live in a country where you can’t go above 65mph. It is a great bike but in most of the USA, our freeway speeds are a lot higher. In Southern California. If I am doing 65, I am going to get killed. By 70 my bike is unenjoyable. By 80 it is painful. Been to the dealership over it...

The 1150GS is great everything bike. If off road was high on my list. I would be looking at that bike. I will be 60 next year and my list is all street. I want comfort. Like the FJR1300, That is a great bike. I am looking at a 2014 Honda ST1300 later this week. If it is what the guy says it is...

So, I finally got the K5 installed. Very happy with it also it looks like they fixed the slow Wi-Fi. The download to the phone is lightning-fast now.

I am averaging about 100 miles before I get the “Get Gas Light”. I'm getting ready to do a long trip. I'm curious how far anyone's pushed it before hitting empty.

I am having the same problem. After the 6000-mile service. The vibration has gotten significantly worse. Did you find a solution?

Do the Grip Puppies affect the heated grips?
