    Deal of the year

    There was around 100 on Biketrader before Christmas and now it’s up to about 130. Lots of pre reg it seems in December to beat the January price rise and removal of FE incentives. So many of them for sale have been for ages. I bought my R18 new when the discounts were strong and did well on...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Ceramic coating doesn’t stop chips or scratches. You need PPF for that.

    Brentune Results?

    You have tried it in rock mode I take it?

    After the low gas light. How far more have you driven?

    The fuel pump will prime but it is definitely not constantly running all the time the ignition is on and the engine is off.

    After the low gas light. How far more have you driven?

    30-40 miles on the light easily. You have approx 4 litres left when the light comes on. I was regularly getting 160/170 before filling up and never got the full 16 litres in.

    Freedom Performance Installation?

    Better off getting your money back, buying the V&H and removing the baffles surely? Considerably less money too. I really wish khrome werks would develop slip ons for the B/TC.

    Speedometer error?

    https://www.evo.co.uk/news/22591/new-info-reveals-uk-speed-camera-tolerances?amp Table further down this article with test data. Always thought my BMW cars were around 2mph out at any speed and that confirms it. Can’t say I’ve felt the difference on either variant of R18 I’ve owned has felt any...

    Newbie from the uk , R18 first edition ,

    Welcome 👋🏻 where abouts in the UK are you? The Real Toy Shop in Grimsby I think can remove the baffles for you. Try removing the servo cables first for an inexpensive increase in sound. Fork shroud removal shown in this set of instructions if that’s what you’re after...

    100th Anniversary R18 Value

    I really like it but it will tank. Hold out imo and the offers will come. I agree with the above that they made too many FE’s and with the exception of the welcome box, you can still order a new R18 with the chrome and tank stripes so no exclusivity there.

    Wunderkind Wunderlich Armaspeed Sixty-one That’s all the options I’m aware of for replacement covers of the OEM cooler.

    LMC orders?

    His wife seems to post in the Facebook group and did so only a couple of days ago: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BMWR18/permalink/1331770737646194/ Perhaps making some noise on there will get things moving for you?

    Media Appreciation For The R18 Is Improving

    Other than moving it around on the driveway, not noticeable. Feels a lot more nimble on the move. My R18 was hardly a featherweight at 40kg more than my Breakout 114.

    Media Appreciation For The R18 Is Improving

    Big enough for myself and others to make the swap. The extra 30mm rear travel is noticeable as is the reduced rake.

    Maybe I'm blind, but can someone explain what the difference is between the BMW and MOPAR GL-5 differential fluids?

    Here in the UK HD have always had good residuals, Indian nowhere near. BMW and Triumph generally do ok but the R18 hasn’t been great, the 0% promotion here only lasted a month from memory but contributions were increased later with a lower interest rate. HD residuals will continue to be good...

    Media Appreciation For The R18 Is Improving

    I’m surprised that they have struggled to shift the individual colour FE’s, the Marina Bay Blue in particular is stunning in the metal. Numbers on Biketrader were falling but seems a fair few were pre registered at the end of last year. There are a couple under £12k which is a lot of bike for...

    Clock

    9 R18s sat waiting with punctures? Or other models too? Ridiculous either way but you would have thought they’d have done what you did and tried to find alternative suppliers. Maintaining customer confidence in the brand is essential and having to wait so long for something as simple as an inner...

    MPG dropped after the ECU flash and DNA filter installed.

    I’ve done 40 miles with the light on and the tank still only took 14 litres. You should have no issue at all doing 150-160 miles between fill ups.
