I certainly wouldn't unless I knew they were coming out with a fix in short order.

Hmmm. I'm seeing the model I was thinking about buying now reposted with "Reserve Assist Disabled". So.... so much for what the salesman blabbered about yesterday about an ignition coil. Reverse was one of my considerations for buying it.

It was a saleman I talked to so..... honesty, mmm, might not be their strong suit 🤣

The plot thickens. Just got off the phone with the dealer mentioned in my OP. Now he is saying that from BMW corporate, it has something to do with the ignition coil on those models with reverse, that IT has to be replaced. Nothing about removing reverse entirely. No ETA whatsoever.

the non believers will still discount it "but, its not based on fact, it's all heresay!" 😁 What a bungled mess. The amount of money involved... from the payouts, to the lost sales.

Yes it does. The email from the dealer clearly says they have a stop sale. Dunno what production models but since that email from her I have checked with 2 other dealers and they both reported Stop Sales on theirs that had reverse. But --yea. Check for yourself --report back aye? 😎

@R18 100 These aren't bad... they're not exactly cone shaped. Being captured off an unrelated video I have no idea who makes them... or what they sound like The video was advertising these custom name plates

That just sucks beyond. By the sounds of it, being a well known defect they should have been ON IT --long before this. But because BMW doesn't have a fix GTG 100's of dealers... (and me) are now missing out on sales? Rather a bit of utter incompetence IYAM.

STOP SALE CONFIRMED.

Par for the course - Commie CA does not allow it shipped here.

LOL... Sheesh. Yeah, Im 'that' new member and I just come on forums to shyt post and cause choas. If you look at the very title of this thread you see Im asking a question as denoted by that thing called a question mark. (?) I related my experience and I never stated that there was an actual...

New to R18, and I'm making a list of all the upgrades I'll get. Currently looking all over at mufflers and I havent found anything yet that I really like BOTH sound and style. Dislike anything cone shaped like the Hattach because to me those lines just obliterate the look of the bike. Love the...

Thanks! China! 😳🤣 Maybe my dealer just got the news here early... Guess we'll eventually find out.

Id be inclined to wonder if my dealer was tryn to pull something fishy on the deal... but for the fact they pulled all the other R18s off the website. However -- plugging in other R18's on the official BMW motorcycle recall search found here...

Just got news from the dealer I was about to plunk a deposit on the Classic I was looking at --paniced when I saw it delisted on the web site. He said R18's with Revrse have a recall now.

I read somewhere some guy tried the R18 and he absolutely hated the bike bc the lousy quality of the ride. Then he tried the Classic and fell head over heels. Geeez. Is there THAT much difference? Initially I'm wanting the Classic because while I much prefer the naked bike look, so the bags...

Excellent!! Thanks for the tip

Being that there's no email to ask questions.. seems kind of sus so I ditched that idea entirely.

I never go faster than 80 in my car. I think I hit 85 once. Hahha. So I can't imagine myself wanting to go faster than 80 or 90 mph on a motorcycle. Just some stupid thing stuck in my newbie brain that says more "power/faster = better". :ROFLMAO:

Thanks Viking... Hey anyone know if the BTMOTO ecu flash gives more top speed?
