    Price check on aisle 5

    While I sold the Road Glide and had the ability to pay cash, I went ahead with the BMW .9% financing and the 6mos worth of payments. These are simple interest notes with no early payoff penalty. When my Sept payment is due, BMW will get the payoff. BMW will allow you to be flexible on the...

    Yay, another 8 mi ride! Lol

    Kinda like the old saying, "A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work." Eight miles is better than an hour on the couch, right? Passenger back rest looks good.

    That was fun while it lasted

    That sucks. I hope you get this resolved to your satisfaction and back on the road. This might be a good litmus test for the rest of us on BMW customer/warranty service. Keep us posted. Be safe.

    That was fun while it lasted

    So you've waited 6 months for these parts? Or am I reading this incorrectly?

    R18 shifting concern

    I also have found the pegs to be easier. I will invest (at some point) in the Wunderlich wider foot pegs but at $575 they are behind a new seat in creature comfort order.

    Chicago area R18C

    It will be worth the wait. I too couldn't pass on the dealer's demo price and the BMW incentives. We (wife of 30 years) haven't bought a new vehicle since before we were married. Even my motorcycles were gently used. As I'm retiring at the end of March, I gave myself a retirement gift. The...

    What did you do to your R18C today?

    I agree but $575 is tough to swallow.

    Seat Swap

    Anyone aware of, or have insight on a replacement seat that allows you to sit back farther (vs taller) to open up the riding position?

    Customs R18

    Same here. I went with the Classic. At the bottom dollar (demo price plus 6mos BMW payments) you simply can't touch this quality of a comparable machine anywhere near that price. I've said it in other posts and it still applies. I feel much more grounded and connected to the bike and the road...

    Congratulations and welcome. You'll find the Classic to be a unique riding experience and a pleasure to ride. Be prepared for lots of questions as you fill the tank. Be safe.

    Price check on aisle 5

    No question. I guess as someone who has traveled across the pond more than a few times, we (wife and I) see a much bigger picture than just the US lifestyle. Most HD guys/gals cling to the brand no matter what. Silly. And yes, one commented British Motor Works? Ah, no.

    Pricing: BMW v. Harley

    Price check on aisle 5

    Interestingly enough, there are no changes in the Pure or Classic from 2021-2022. That may bolster some confidence. The R18 is a big hit in Europe (so Im told) and dealers want these units on the road for visibility. Every time I stop, Im asked if my R18 is an import or is it available in the...

    First Ride 2021 Classic vs....

    The gas gauge is a minor annoyance. I use the trip meter as well.

    First Ride 2021 Classic vs....

    6'4" 220lbs 33" insweam. It fit just fine. I will be adding crash bars with either a footrest added as part of the design or highway pegs that I will add myself. Im adding the fastback seat for a little more comfort while keeping the seat height at 27".
