I feel my R18 Transcontinental is a beast, definitely the heaviest bike I’ve ever owned. Riding with my wife, she had me do some last second turns which had me stop and turn around. The bike felt like it was going to drop a couple times but I held it up. The next day I found I had pulled a back...

Congrats and welcome!

We don’t have the ethanol free option, so maybe that’s why.

US premium here in California is 91 octane. And I like to stick with what the manufacturer recommends.

Unfortunately I don’t have one. I’ve just been reading the forums and such, and reports are that they work well.

The latest Sena 50 S/R headsets with the latest firmware allow BMW wonder wheel volume control on the TFT bikes.

Congrats! How many miles so far?
