It felt like a big R9T or a Triumph speed triple on steroids. Wasn't my cup of tea, maybe if I were 27 or so. I have to say I loved the mad acceleration and the sound tho'. Knackered at the end of a 40 min test ride with pulse way off the charts... Gonna look at the other end of the spectrum...

I had a rear puncture at 100 kph in the middle lane with 32 wheelers all around me. I was amazed how 'stable' the bike was and I was 1km from home I managed to limp home. The wait for the inner tube is another story I posted on here.

Something about Indians and R18s getting along....

I'd be considering exiting that position as I don't think most of the ICE manufacturers will be around this decade.. Their transition to electric is too little too late and the ICE write offs will be monumental. I hope BMW make it but I'm sure there will be ways to maintain our bikes in the...

My reply back: Hi The whole point in writing to Germany Head Office is that Mexico couldn’t care less so redirecting me back to the relevant subsidiary in Mexico will end nowhere.. Regards JP

They did reply but now starts the 'pass the buck' loop: Dear Mr. Ciantar, Thank you for your e-mail. We appreciate your efforts to direct your request to us. We have forwarded your e-mail to the relevant subsidiary, BMW Mexico, for further processing. You will be contacted as soon as...

The drive shaft illumination to me is akin to a sequin mankini.. beauty to some minority somewhere but the rest of world is being sick a little in their mouths and re-swallowing...

Doubt they will even bother to reply..
