I have 50k miles on my Chief Vintage and 11k on my R18B. If I had to pick just one, it would be the R18B. Better mileage, larger tank, cooler running, GPS, stereo, hard bags and the exhilarating Rock mode all make it a more enjoyable daily rider for me. I will say that when I rode my Chief to...

Had four police officers stop to help me after midnight.. one had one of those little lithium packs that is supposed to jump start a car, but it didn't have the amperage needed to turn her over. The police officers wouldn't jump it with their police cars, but they let me use their jumper cables...

I had a 6k service done by Tom Wood powersports in Indianapolis this week. I had them leave it outside for me today so I could pick it up after they closed. Much to my surprise, the battery was completely dead when I arrived to pick it up. They don't open until Tuesday. Does anyone have a...

Indiana here as well, I hope you enjoy your R18B as much as I mine! I honestly wasn't a big fan when I rode one off of the demo truck last spring, but now that I have over 6k miles on her she's my favorite out of the dozen or so bikes that I've owned.

I picked up one of these: https://www.shopbmwmotorcycles.com/oem-parts/bmw-motorrad-passenger-seat-bag-black-27-l-77492471302 I have some Helen2Wheel bags that I used to use to camp off of my R1150R that I would use instead if I needed a sleeping bag and tent. I bought some Rok straps and...

She's beautiful! Download the app and the states you'll be traveling through before you go. I almost got a classic from them last year, but I sat on one at a local dealership and realized I was too big for it.

Welcome! She's beautiful! How are the roads in Kuwait for riding?

I really liked the looks of the R18 Classic and was set on buying it until I sat on one and realized I was just to tall for it. I rode the R18 B when the demo truck came around shortly before it was released, but wasn't left feeling in love with how it rode. I couldn't get over how beautiful...

I was just scoping that out on their website. I'm a big fan!

Love that color!

In freeway traffic this morning, the console on my R18 B alerted me not the tire pressure was low, and that it was an emergency and I should pull over immediately.. everything felt fine, but I scrolled through the menus and it showed me a rear tire pressure of 6 psi. By this point I was slowed...

I installed the 20-in clear screen today. I'm 6'2", 34" inseam and have a tall seat on my R18 B. I see well above the screen, 6 in maybe. I ride with a modular helmet flipped up, and the wind coverage is perfect. It may take some getting used to the distortion in looking through the lower...

I picked up my R18 B on Friday from Motoworks on Chicago for 19,995 with 1.9% financing. Sticker was $27,490.
