dealer talk out of Germany. Also, just recently some bike websites have found that BMW applied for trademarking of the R20 name. Other evidence is that when BMW calls a bike a “concept” it’s historically almost production ready. Their experimental models are referred to as “vision”. So, again...

This is super helpful and I think I might be on to understanding the issue. If you could, could you take a look at your B. On the underside of both the clutch and brake levers, is there a small bolt (maybe painted orange) available to access on the pushrod mount piece? What I’m getting at is...

Seems like a short life for sure. I wonder if it’s as simple as BMW boring the 1800 to 2000 and carrying over much of the current engine. I don’t know enough that way to understand if that’s even feasible. Or perhaps the 1800 lives on with the 2000 as an upper tier option. Triumph has their...

Levers are BMW side up. I wonder if it’s possible to mix up the push rods between clutch and brake? Not sure if they took both off at once or what.

Thanks for the response. Looks like bit 5 is a spring which sits against the aluminum thing that holds the pushrod. I took the lever off the bike to get an idea of how it was put together. Now what I’m not sure of is whether the pushrod is doing what it’s supposed to do. There’s an adjustment...

Also, looking like perhaps there’s some merit to the R18 being phased away, but this is super speculative. There are a good bunch of 2025 model year bikes listed on the US BMW site, but only the 2024 models for the R18 line. Now, this might not mean a thing and the 2025 release could actually...

I 100% agree with you here - it’s a wonderful bike. However, depending on where you are in the US, there’s the stigma against any kind of cruiser that is not HD. “Eh, nice bike, but it’s not a Harley.” Enough riders take this to heart and I really believe dissuades them from looking at...

Hit starlord on the dm with this, but figured maybe someone has some knowledge to spill while I await his response. Had the bike in for the reverse call. Figured I’d let them do the annual service since they’d have it anyway. Well, they installed the new brake and clutch levers as part of the...

J&H like $3000+ depending on options. I'd love it, but man, that's a hefty price tag.

I used a guitar pick and ran it a bit around the edge until the medallion popped. There's a little bit of foam behind the OE badges that you need to break loose. Though if you found a solution with the double badge, you're all set.

I called to set my appt after getting the notice in the mail (though knowing it was coming for weeks now cuz of the forum). I mentioned hearing there was some kind of credit and the shop manager explained that it covers accessories and I just need part numbers for what I want. So, if you're...

I went KlockWerks as well and share the same observations/experience as the OP. For all I know, the Jurok could be leagues better, but it just kills the lines of the bike for me.

Yes! Would love to swap out my R18B chrome pipes but I can’t deal with the cost.

Oh nice! I hope others will hop on that also!

It’s Monday but Black Friday is here, at least for the guys at BT Moto. Now’s the chance for anyone who’s been kicking the idea around. It won’t get cheaper (and yes, it’s still expensive). I’m one of a bunch of guys here who have shelled out the cash for the tune and who have found it to...

Nice price, too

We're hearing late Dec, early Jan, but I don't know how reliable anyone's sources are. Official letters haven't even been received yet, as far as I'm aware, so there are likely a bunch of US riders, especially in the north, who won't even be able to get the bike in to have the reverse disabled...

As I understand it, and I’m by no means an engineer, the intake/exhaust system on stock vehicles is always a compromise between many factors to ensure compliance with emissions, noise, fuel consumption and whatever other requirements exist. With this, an easy choke point for engineers is the...

Not sure how it works where you are. Is there any documentation you need to sign as you take delivery? I bought a car from the other side of the state that was delivered to me and would have been able to refuse to sign if the vehicle wasn’t as expected. It sounds like you’re further in or...

guy here got one:https://www.r18forums.com/threads/who%E2%80%99s-gonna-try-it.2774/post-39700 Haven't heard from him since he took delivery though.
