Yes, another one. Yes, used the search engine. As all I get are a older hence a new thread. Flogging the bike down the local pass the speedometer read 195 km/h. I know the speedomete by law reads fast with quite bit of margin to compensate for variables. Also the bike is limited to 180 km/h...

Buenos compañeros. Very regularly I get mail enquiring about a holliday in Spain on a motorbike. Not just from the R18 forum. As it is all rather different from the UK I want to point out a few generic aspects. Spain is about square, say 1.2k kms north-south and 1k west-east with that being a...

Howevvah: https://www.shopbmwmotorcycles.com/p-connectedride-smartglasses-unisexconnectedridesmartglasses :eek: Ok, ok, I get it. For sóme, sóme uses etcetera. Back when the very first hand held Garmin GPS came out I was an early adopter because I often went cross country. Cróss country as in...

Has anyone found/located the DWA connector on the R18? This for hooking up a HEX-EZ Canbus.

When you buy from a seller in China, you know the product is Made in China. When you buy from a manufacturar in say Spain with in house production, you know it is Made in Spain. Buying something from a European or US based after market seller, no matter how renowned, you may get Made in...

- Monty Python. (vintage UK satirical; do look it up on youtube; not linking one as sómeone is sure to wiggle long toes under a politcally incorrect sómething) Right so there is a bloke mud pathing the R18 shod on knobblies. Also one in a bagger race. Sofar no wheelie (front wheel in the air)...

In 2016 BMW shows an R5 ´homage´ which in 2019 grows a modern engine and in 2020 prooves to be a new addition to their production model range. It is to all extends and purposes a BMW. Well engineered with attention to detail of all aspecst of a motorcycle. Well built and finished with quality...

R18 models that is 🫣 Several members ove rhere have more than one model. R18 again. I wonder how the base R18 comapres with a fully loaded one like the TransContinental. I mean the platform is basically the same and the engine is identical. The gearing is the same too so how does that...

:eek: Only 10; tén, road registered TransContinentals in all of Switzerland. That is including those at the dealers. Ufffff. That is not a lot. Makes me wonder how many R18s there are in Spain.

Not R18 specific so in Biergarten. At periodic inspection the horn is an item checked. Now if that should work, the logic is that we should also be able to héar it no?! This applies to the general thing of same. I mean the hearing is one of our senses informing us about our surroundings. Imo...

Because EURO emission levels including sound are published wáy in advancce BMW designed the R18 to meet the 2025 Euro5+ norms. Hence p.e. the extreme intake noise damping, the double valve covers and not least the electronically managed exhaust baffels. Euro5 models are just that bit more...

Freedom and adventure are key marketing for motorcycling. In some brands and in the case of BMW the R18 the heritage is added quite notably. More specifically the minimalistic base model. Now add holders for GPS, mobile phone etc on the handlebars. Road trip with the lodgings booked and the...

To all members who have a sidecar fitted: Please share photos of the mounting points on the R18 chassis. Thank you,

Concerning the R18, when reading blogs, looking at youtubes, reading on fora, I ALWAYS end up wondering; just about all authors appear disconnected from the real world. I mean the engine is an 1800 cc twin, meeting EURO5 emission/noise requirements. Yet it has 90 horses at what even half a...

Polaris has sold its stake in Indian to an L.A. based private equite firm. HD´s situation may be even more tricky. Their new CEO is a specialist in prepairing/reorganising companies for sale. Whatever the consequences for the owners(hip) of the thus branded motorbikes, these are issues we do...

This goes back to the early sixties when BMW is again reinventing itself. The ´Neue Klasse´ car models https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_New_Class transform the former aircraft manufacturer gone motorbike manufacturer into a car manufacturer, in the process saving it from bankruptcy. In...
