Nice chart. I guess I didnt need to change the bevel gear oil at 600 miles. No biggie it took 20 mins. I guess I should have looked at my owners manual.

Wow, some beautiful bikes and collections.

Sigh. Again, I never said it handled the worst. You brought handling in. I only commented on RIDE QUALITY. I have said the R18 is the best handling bagger/cruiser bike Ive ridden. Big difference between handling and ride quality. Ok, Im done, Everything else you say is absolutely correct under...

Sure, it must be.

I may have been mistaken on wheel base as I thought RoadGlides and Springfields had longer wheel bases. Those bikes are north of 850 lbs, I believe my 100yr edition is 730 or 740? The main point I was making is that more sophisticated suspensions are much more than just hard or soft and...

I agree pretty much with all you say, more or less. I didnt touch on handling so much as what we were talking about was more ride quality. The Harley IS the worst of the bunch but thats by design. They will be happy to sell you a custom made Ohlins that is fully adjustable which totally...

Im glad you found something that works for ya.

Nice. And what does it tell you when a guy can mess around in his garage and come up with something better than what was delivered from the factory? :)

At least quote me correctly.... I didnt say "its the worst riding bigger cruiser on the market.." I said "its the worst riding bigger cruiser on the market THAT I HAVE RIDDEN." Leaving out the last part changes the context a bit, does it not? I deem your reporting FAKE NEWS!! lol As far as my...

Sorry about your hassles but glad its running better now.

Apparently so. :)

I was kidding.

I hear all the top racing teams use genuine BMW products because its simply the best.

Not for nuthin but I think the bike takes 4qts of oil. I would double check. Edit....My bad....4 LITERS

Nobody here said the R18 is a "bad bike." I put forth the fact that the suspension is less than premium, and doesnt befit a beautiful well made bike. My opinion that it is one of the worst bigger cruisers that I have ridden in the last several years. My opinion. The reason for the Diavel...

A good suspension is comfortable without being a "soggy mess." It all depends on how good the suspension is. My Ohlins suspension on my Diavel is as good as there is without going to an active system. Ive ridden/owned many big cruisers and I can honestly say the R18 is the worst. Contrast that...

I agree. For a premium brand like BMW to release a bike that is the worst riding bigger cruiser on the market was a huge miss. I get that with the low slung rear end its tough, but they have some of the best engineers in the business. I know some have gone with an aftermarket rear shock but the...

Depends on the gear. Im not cruising down the highway in 6th gear at 4200 rpms :)

When I hit 4200 rpms the engine is like a jack hammer. Seems to be getting better with miles.

Not always!
