The radio key will work as a spare.. per manuals for Pure and TC.. and I presume the Classic and Bagger too. from the manuals online: https://manuals.bmw-motorrad.com/de/rider-manual

I've had the Wunderlich case protectors on my TC for some time now, no issues at all and they look great. They attach at three points, one under the seat on the rear frame, one on the passenger foot-peg and one behind the bag.

I found the 719 seats to be just enough firmer on TC and for Pure/Classic, made a day and night difference for me. Very happy with them in all respects.

a first look review of the Roctane https://ridermagazine.com/2023/05/11/2024-bmw-r-18-roctane-first-look-review/ interesting "filler stripe" they mention and show, a panel between fender and case... no mention of fuel gauge

I was wondering the same thing, but I suspect would not fit right onto the Classic. The Roctane cases look like the same form as the B and TC, which would mean the rear frame is different than the classic, seems would makes sense with a long rear fender. When we see the fiche we can compare...

I believe you are looking at the Satellite antennae. I asked the dealer and joked that it looked like a coin tray for tolls.

Here's another thread that may have some useful information too. https://www.r18forums.com/threads/mpg-dropped-after-the-ecu-flash-and-dna-filter-installed.1774/post-26098

I expect electric bikes/motorcycles will fit a utilitarian need for me someday, they are sportier than a golf cart.. But for now, I got a great deal on another R18 instead and I'm much happier. Electric vehicles are anathema to satisfying the wanderlust.

The short FB video showed a steering damper, one might infer that it's got cruise control of some type, perhaps the A6 is an electronic shifting solution?

Aye, that's what comes to mind.. maybe Augmented but that just sounds like another way to say the same thing.

I'd always suggest best getting an R18 sooner than later. You could look for a used Classic in mint condition for a good deal, then either stick with it or trade towards the Roctane when you find out what it is. I recently traded my old R12C towards an excellent slightly used R18 Classic and...

Note the TRANS is listed as 'A6" not 'M6' like the other R18 models in 'Attactchment A' table in the linked data. What should we make of that?

I always lock my steering, sometimes chain the bikes together. I found the steering locks on the Pure/Classic work well and consistently. When locking just turn a little left and push in, pull the steering off the stop a tad to find where it goes in all the way, then just turn it right a tad...

Could a kickstand switch cause this, either a bad one or if the kickstand was actually moved to actuate it?

In any case, with increased frequency, complexity, and size of the updates... it's a great target for improvement. 🎯

I'd bet the BMW motorcycle software distributed support network has less high availability than that for the cars, for various reasons. It's probably not surprising we hear of varying results including periodic unavailability and slow transfer rates.

Yup! TC has a green icon for the aux lights, blue for the high beam..

Use it for what? ;) Bad batteries generally just get worse, charging can help but at some point best start carrying walking shoes.

I put the R18B windscreen on my TC, I'm about 5'7" and wanted to see over the screen. I have a 719 seat that has me a little higher than stock, and the R18B windscreen is perfect. The curve along the top of the windscreen really plays well when sweeping view laterally. You can size it a bit...

maybe add a minimal/artful fork brace to make the fender lugs functional?
