    Advice wanted: buy 22 TC demo or new 23?

    If it were me, I’d pay the extra $4k and get the 2023.

    wunderlich leg rests vs BMW

    They do look better but aren’t cheap. How much are the BMW ones?

    Thinking about a R18 Transcontinental

    It’s not vastly superior, it’s just a different bike. I sold my 21 TC and bought a 22 GTL. I wanted nimbler handling in the twisties and more luggage capacity for touring. The TC’s luggage capacity was just barely enough for my wife and I over a weekend trip. The K16’s engine is IMO, is the...

    Saw my first Roctane

    And no pics? At any rate, it really doesn’t offer much except for perhaps looks. What really gets me is the omission of a fuel gauge on these bikes. And there’s really not much tech there.

    R18B how do you open gate ?

    I added a HomeKit controller to my garage door. Now it opens easily with Siri from my helmet.

    None of my friends want to buy a BMW

    Check to see if the Active Radar sensor at the front of the bike is dirty or full of bugs.

    Thinking about a R18 Transcontinental

    Everyone can give their own opinions, but what matters most is you. Take an extended test ride and see for yourself.

    First post and Question re: R18TC

    I sold my 2018 Grand America due to stability issues, and bought a new 2021 R18 TC FE. I got used to its quirks like its weight, heel-toe shifter and Nav, which works well once you get to know it. But… if I could have 2 bikes, this would’ve been a keeper. The wife said this bike had the most...

    How to access spotify

    Unless you’re using Apple Music, you need to select and start the playlist before hand. Then you can skip tracks via the wonder wheel. It seems BMW only offers full music functionality with Apple Music.

    R18 Transcontinental Tool Kit - Where is it?

    Mine was in the left saddlebag. If you don’t have it, contact your dealer.

    R18 B & Transcontinental TFT firmware update?

    What do your navigation settings in the app look like? This is from my iPhone.

    You can also use BaseCamp and import routes into the Connected app. Note that when using BaseCamp you should name your waypoints in order alphabetically, like such: 01- Start 02- Lunch 03- End Otherwise the Connected app could bring in the waypoints in the incorrect order, otherwise it works...

    Wireless Phone Charger Project R18 B / TC

    Why didn’t BMW put wireless charging above the gas tank? I’m sure you can think of a very good reason if you try hard enough.

    R 18 Bagger To K 1600 B

    The new boxers have 12k service intervals because they’re water cooled. The air/oil cooled boxers need to be checked earlier because of this.

    R 18 Bagger To K 1600 B

    I thought the R18 TC I sold was probably the best long distance touring bike, aside from the 2016 GoldWing I had.

    R 18 Bagger To K 1600 B

    I sold my 21 R18 TC for a 22 K1600 GTL. The TC is a great bike and I would’ve liked to have kept it. I’ll miss the ACC, but to be honest I really didn’t use it that much. Unfortunately I can only have one bike, and the GTL fits my needs for that. Good luck with your decision.

    How Dry I am

    My previous 2016 GoldWing actually had the best protection from the elements of all the bikes I’ve had.
