The high comfort seat you mention , is that a BMW seat? If so do you have a part number? 4 months ago I ordered one from my local BMW dealer and they tell me none available and no part number available for them to order.

Do you know if that is a stock bike? I was under the understanding it was 91HP at the crank ?

I always looked at it more of a “Ford / Chevy “ kind of thing. That being said I don’t know of many other manufacturers who enjoy the brand loyalty of Harley, deserved or not . As a lifelong rider of Harleys I find the lines ( appearance) are a thing of Beauty. The R18 plucks the same heart...

Black Dog I appreciate your sense of humor and would not expect any other type of comment from you . That being said the extremely poor dealer experience I have had will most likely have me order a 2022 Goldwing Tour DCT next week in place of the Grand America option 719. And no it wasn't just...

I figured Black Dog would jump in and tell me what a nipplehead I am. He must be sleeping?

Every " body" is different. My legs start to hurt if I can't straighten them out every few hours. For the first 150- 200 miles on my R18 TC I'm in heaven. Yes 3 months ago when I took delivery of the Transcontinental I ordered the leg rest and an upgraded seat. Neither have come in. I also...

Ah I'm sure that title sparked reaction. After buying a 2022 Transcontinental I had planned and asked the dealer to buy the 2022 Grand America wanting both in my garage. Having a less than pleasurable experience from the dealer I thought it might be in my best interest to look around and...

That’s fair . Let’s see what happens in year 6

I agree the B is hot. We would probably get option 719 for the additional pop

I also agree the retro styling of the R18 is out of this world . No matter how much expense or customizations I did to my Harleys I never got responses like I do to the stock Transcontinental. Everywhere I go people are making comments . I’ve even had women come up to me at a filling station...

Thanks for the thorough comparison. I’ve had loud Harleys for 40+ years the last 20 years most of them have had stage II or III . As I age I want some performance without all the noise and Thousands needed to spend to get there , hence the attraction to 6 cylinders. Thanks for the tuning...

I figured you’d pipe in , thanks . Yes I believe it was announced in 2016 and I visited the dealer that year test riding the GTL to get a feeling for it . My continuing to ride Harleys for the next few years had nothing to do with me not liking the bike .

Sweet set up . As much as I like the Transcontinental and will keep it I am assuming for long distance touring the smoothness , ability to move your feet forward to floorboards , electronically adjustable windshield and less frequent shifting ( lower horsepower and RPM comfort range makes...

My objection to the dash was primarily the outsourced navigation which I felt truly lacking .

I've really wanted the K1600B since 2016. My visit to the BMW dealership was less than fruitful so I continued to buy Harley Davidsons up until this year. I still own one. My intentions were to buy the R18 Classic this year but I saw ,fell in love and bought the the R18 Transcontinental . I...

Yes I find many things on their parts website that don't make sense to me. After 40 years on Harleys for which I understand their history well my first BMW Motorcycle purchase was 2021. Therefore I am not well versed in knowledge of BMW historical production. Although it is very difficult to...

Ah, I never thought to sound it out.................Merry Christmas

Sorry to hear sales did not meet projections . As a lifelong Harley rider and now R18 owner I do not know why they aren't setting the cruiser world on fire. But maybe if buying a BMW is like pulling teeth as my experience was it will keep the Harley rider at Harley dealerships
