    Transmission issue

    It is very reassuring hearing that BMW is standing by their customers and product. Time without your machine is certainly a bummer but thankfully they are getting it fixed/replaced without hassle.

    BMW 8 days of Cyber Deals?

    I too tried ordering during the “Lean into the Holidays” 25% off promotion and after countless attempts and hours of trying to complete the sale through various web browsers AND digital platforms ( phone, tablet, laptop and PC ) I was never able to make a successful sale for all of the items I...

    Windshield / Windscreen options?

    I agree that riding is about the experience. What each of us desire from the experience varies greatly. Some are shorter distance riders and others are longer distance riders. Out of those two groups there are those who care more about appearance and then those who care more about function and...

    Comment by '2021FE' in media 'BMW R18 Cruiser'

    This bike is done with beautiful craftsmanship and I like most aspects of the build. One thing that just seems out of place to me is the rear exposed shock. Is that bike even rideable with the drive shaft completely horizontal? Anybody know?

    How cold have you rode?

    aicpjim, That is terrific! Born and raised here in the Northwest. Have lived within a 30 mile radius of where I was born for 40 years. It’s a beautiful place to live but not enough days with weather good enough for me to want to ride. As SOON as I am eligible for retirement my wife and I are...

    How cold have you rode?

    Michigan Tim, When I first started riding on the pavement I would ride every chance I got. Then over time like you I realized how much I disliked being wet and cold. For me I have to be moderately comfortable to have the necessary level of focus. When I get cold to the point of my fingers and...

    Hot starting issue

    My bike did the same thing during my 100 mile “test” ride. Rode for 50 miles and couldn’t wait any longer I had to stop to use the restroom. Went back out to the bike and it started and died three times. 4th time it started and idled roughly for about 3-4 seconds. Have not had a problem since...

    AV gas?

    Just run E85 instead. Its even higher octane and less than regular unleaded most places. Plus it actually burns cleaner and is better for the environment. Just kidding folks. This was just a JOKE. Do NOT run any fuel other than what is specified by the manufacturer. Doing otherwise is at...

    Any aftermarket engine badges out there?

    Would be a simple part to print on a 3D printer for those that have access or know somebody who has one. I will print a few “test” samples and post pics in a few weeks.

    Shaft splines service bulletin

    September was in the dealer for first service. They informed me of the service bulletin and said that they didn’t have the “kit” in stock. Said they would notify when it was available and I could schedule an appointment. In the meantime not to worry.

    sold

    That is fantastic news that you both sold the bike AND that you got some good money out of it. Hope you find a bike that you’ll fall in love with. Take care.

    Yes on the driveshaft. When my bike was in for the first service they didn’t have any “kits” in stock yet. They said all was well for now and that they would send me a message when they were ready.

    Windshield / Windscreen options?

    I am 6’3” with a 33” inseam. I bought the Puig and I like the way it looks and I like its functionality. It was inexpensive, is well made and fairly straightforward to install. I don’t experience any buffeting in the helmet and took the wind blast off my chest. No more hanging on for dear life...

    New 18B in Katy, TX

    That is one lovely looking bagger. Sounds as if you are enjoying it.

    Purchased a new First Edition end of August and have been thoroughly enjoying it as much as possible. This is a wonderful motorcycle and look forward to many miles and smiles. This forum has already been a wealth of knowledge and I am excited to see this group grow. Thank you to everyone who has...
