The red insert. The black part of the seat is leather. I wonder why they did that....A dark thick leather would be much classier....

As far as price....the reality is....we are in a recession. Not everyone has 20k for a bike right now. Some dealers may have gotten only one, maybe some got none, big dealers probably two. Mine was the second one they received and was still in the crate. I'm in Los Angeles....a big market...

Yes, I thought the same thing...and bought one. I wish they had used leather for the red insert on the seat. That is my only complaint. Other than that they nailed it. I removed the rear passenger seat and foot pegs for a cleaner look. I plan to throw in the re map and air filter swap and...

Yeah, BMWs are a completely different thing. I also had Harley's for years.....at this stage of my life, I prefer the BMWs. I don't need the rumble, vibration, et, and think the BMWs are tighter machines all the way around. They handle better, and brake better in my experience... Congrats.

I guess when things like bikes, cars, property, et. are purchased and used to generate income, it's a completely different thing. You're detached. Maybe that's a blessing in a way. I think the average profile of an R18 buyer is a middle aged white collar upper middle class to upper class...

When I first started reading your post I started to get anxiety....I'm a guy that will damn near call off a ride if I see dust on my bike! A minor scratch means the Marines need to be called in!!! I keep my S&#T absolutely pristine, cleaner than showroom condition. Obviously that's not what...

Beautiful piece of equipment. Question: Did you feel the bike was running hot...or why did you install it on your bike in the first place if you don't mind me asking? It's worth the $$$ just for looks, but was heat an issue on the R18s at the time? I have a new 23 with just a few hundred...

I wonder what the performance difference if any will be. The looks are one thing, and the sound, just wondering how it effects the performance so I'll wait to hear. I have a lot of experience swapping out pipes on Harely's, then Dyno'ing the bike to see how the various exhausts changed the...

Damn!!! I thought I had it tough riding in 85 degree weather up Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu, THEN forced to endure dozen of girls in bikini's waiting in line for their double frap decalf light foam almond milk vanilla with sustainable Bee farmed honey flown in from New Zealand!!!!

You might check out a ski shop for gloves. I was an avid skier and the tech now is better than it was then. I had some gloves that were agile enough you could use them to ride, and my hands were warm in very cold weather.

That's cause your a bad ass.....then there's the rest of us that need a "safe zone" in case our feelings get hurt on the ride!!!

I would go to my local sporting goods store and pick up some long underwear used for snow skiing normally, and leave the bike as is.....but that's just me. As I like stripped down bikes....

You mean Irodemine's deal???

Yes, Irodemine says he spent many years in the service dept. at auto dealerships. And appears to have extensive experience around bikes and cars outside of his job.... And that makes the whole thing all the more puzzling. From the pics he posted, the damage, wear, et. appears to be quite...

G'Damn. Nice! I like this almost as much as mine! Clean...streamline....I prefer them without a lot of add ons...the bike's got more than enough style on it's own. Doesn't need any enhancement.... Nice!!

A brand new bike??

In 2014 there was a waiting list for the R9T here in LA. My name came up after a few months, but I wasn't ready, outta $$ at the time. Went to see the bike anyway, they didn't want to even let me ride it.... But they finally agreed. The bike was VERY uncomfortable because I was a Harley...

Very cool!! And you won't see another one!! Congrats! You don't have a license but you had to have the bike!!! My kinda biker!!!!

Keepin it simple....

I get it....I modified everything that moved for decades....it was an obsession to get every possible ounce of power out of everything I had and have custom made parts created if they didn't exist. What happened is I was always so concerned with how it's running, did I hear a noise, et.et. that...
