Yea tricky situation, got the T shirt on this one too. The bike market is brutal lately and I got screwed last summer. I traded a Transalp and XSR900 to get my Roctane. I stupidly and naively thought it would be easy, two popular mainstream bikes in mint condition but no, got bugger all for...

Have you considered selling the HD on consignment? I’ve done that two or three times with a local private trader and it worked well, got a better price than I would have privately with no hassle and he got a £500 sellers fee. If you are realistic with the price you ask rather than what you...

I did have a quick look online at UK websites yesterday and it’s true, there aren’t any new 2025 R18’s on sale (that I could see anyway). There were 45 on there, a few private sales, plenty low mileage minters with an odd one or two being advertised as new 2025 dealer or zero mile pre reg but...

Agree. Changing the oil (plus filter) regularly is probably the best thing you can do for your engine, relatively cheap and easy to do yourself if you want to. No brainer really especially if you plan to keep your bike. I presume you mean the 6000 mile service/annual service after the initial...

Enjoy 👍

Some serious wedge gone into that, looks amazing 👍

Welcome. Post a pic. 👍

Nice choice, very handsome bike. 👍

1) Looks 2) sense of ‘occasion’ you get riding it 3) see above plus the riders POV. It’s epic.

Welcome along. Post a picture of your bike 👍

Try a search Mike, I know some wrapping has been done but can’t remember who it was.

See how you get on with your test ride, after 3 days you should have a good idea whether you are going to get on with the R18 and can actually live with one. They are not everyone’s cup of tea. There’s loads of owner feedback on every model on the forum already so I’d suggest investing some time...

A year or two back there were people selling stuff like this quite often as they personalized their bikes but it’s dried up considerably (as far as I can see anyway). Have you thought about maybe a vinyl wrap on your covers instead?

Not seen any on the R18 line over here, think there were some BMW offers on the F900 and some of the smaller stuff but didn’t pay too much attention, as this post shows 🤦🏻

+1. Having had their (and many of our) fingers burnt making too many of them back in 2020 I do expect BMW will be more savvy though and make fewer going forward, which can’t be a bad thing. I like what they’ve done with the 2025 bikes.

Let people know where you are divedolphin, the forum has members all over the world.

That’s great and exactly why I posted 👍. If you do make it let me know what you think, I hope you like it as much as I do.

Ahh, of course. I remember your Avatar. No problem. I just really enjoyed being in Chester again and wanted to share it incase it sparked some curiosity.

Morning all, I post this really for the benefit or perhaps interest of any overseas forum members because I expect most Brits are already aware of the City of Chester and its Roman legacy in particular. When we were kids my parents used to take us there for short holidays and lots of visits...

You may be right Randy but just look at the pictures above (see Star-Lord) and those customized R18’s. They look terrific so it can be done if people have the will and means to take it on. It’s probably more to do with established culture and different Company business models. Americans love to...
