My question on the Hornig. Anyone actually use the rubber foot rests on the highway? Feedback?

Welcome. Great community here with lots of good information as we all get to experience the birth of a classic.

With or without the windshield, the lower fork deflectors help reduce the wind blast.

Congrats, adamchandler! That's a great looking B.

I was under the impression that the R18 FE Pure and Classic do not have self cancelling turn signals... I'll investigate.:unsure: So how do you know if you have the "Comfort Turn Indicators"?

Interested. PM me your $$

Great thing about our age is we don't have much explaining to do nor do we typically care what someone else thinks. We've done what needs to be done and now enjoying the fruits of that labor.

Coming from a bagger (Road Glide) and after a few mods, my Classic does everything I need. I don't carry the gear I used to nor do I put on the miles like I did 10 years ago. I can tell you the Classic, while it doesn't have the wind protection of the TC, may compete with the bagger once the...

Got the fork deflectors mounted and the lenses tinted. Windshield is going back on. While at the gas station (in this form) a guy commented on the beautiful restoration job I had done. 😂 When I shared it was a 2021 he looked confused, smiled and sauntered back to his truck.

I'm sorry to say HDs are greatly overpriced both new and used. While I'm still a fan, I'm just not going to fall into the money pit that has become HD. What are R18 owners really giving up? Forward controls and an extensive HD network.

So it took a few rides out on the highway and a couple of adjustments to position to find the sweet spot for the deflectors. For me (on a Classic) the bottom of the bracket is 3 1/2" from the bottom of the fork shroud and right behind the running light. The deflectors took away about 80%-90% of...

One of the beauties of the Classic (again, all personal preference) is the added wind protection without the added weight of the fairing and the simplicity of the Classic's electronics. If you're not going to tour, why pay for the additional touring features? Is the $2500 price difference going...

I've also grown disenchanted with some of the HD tactics of, "buy a base model and we'll gladly sell you thousands of $$ to "make it your own." I'm not a modder. My truck is stock, my Road Glide was fairly stock as was my Triumph Scrambler, my VF100r and previous toys. $40k for a CVO is insane...

I don't see how anyone who even slightly considers themselves a motorcycle enthusiast could not find the R18 (especially outfitted like this) a rolling piece of art history.

I initially went to look at the R18 FE Pure as it was just so unique and I was in the market for something different from my Road Glide. I really enjoyed the test ride but was a bit turned off by no cruise control and the exhaust wasn't a deal killer but just okay with it. Started looking at the...

My .02. Buy whichever one you really gravitate toward. Is the R18 your hobby and rolling two-wheeled therapy? Or is it a necessity to commute, committed touring bike or some other practical reason? I bought mine for the sheer joy and tranquility of the ride. If it were a transportation/commuter...

And there is a monthly cap of (approx) $333/mo BMW will pay over those 6 months or $1998.00 These are simple interest loans through BMW financing. Take all the incentives, then pay as you want. Lump sum payoff or finance monthly at .09%. Its a win/win.

Okay that was funny. Like beer through my nose funny. Don't know why....😅

Im not sure how the sales are going but to get units on the street, they've "demo" discounted some of these models in the US market. It's a pretty common tactic to get visibility in a new market. Ive not been on a ride yet (when stopping for gas) that someone asks about the bike. The contractor...

Just a heads up to the group. Im not affiliated with any dealer. The BMW dealer in Plano, Texas has 2 21 R18B demos for under $20k ($19,995.00) should you be looking for one...
