and model year release .

Yes as most motorcycles and automobiles rollout starts the previous year of model year designation. The pandemic slowed the release and consequently the first model year available for purchase was 2021.

The first model year for the R18 was 2021. There are no First Edition option for the R18 or R18 Classic in 2022. 2022 is the first year and have the first edition option for the Transcontinental and the the R18 B which are very different bikes from the original R18 hence " First Edition"

I think something is being lost in the translation here. This is the First Edition Transcontinental . There were no previous Transcontinentals. This is and was a paid for option from BMW . The previously attached BMW press release made it very clear this is a first Edition and the components...

Not sure why you would keep saying this ? The dealer told me it did, others who bought them did, BWW press release said they did????? So please tell me why you keep saying something that isn't true? Seriously I would like to know. First you tell me I am not being respectful to the dealer for...

I edited and removed the dealer name and location as the dealer Principal did call me on Christmas eve a day the store was closed expressing he misunderstood my request for a call back. He listened to me and offered a respectful response.

"Just as it was with the R 18, the new R 18 B and R 18 Transcontinental will be available in exclusive First Edition versions in addition to the standard models at the time of launch. The packages include special paint and surface finishes such as Blackstorm metallic paint with elaborate...

My TC is a first edition and was told by the dealer multiple times it was forthcoming. Not holding the dealer hostage just accountable to honor the obligation. I didn't mention any dealer name until the dealer principal refused to call me back so I could have the opportunity to discuss my...

After multiple attempts asking for the welcome box and waiting 3 months I emailed BMW customer service. The Box was overnighted the very next day from the dealership. XXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX could not have provided a worse customer buying experience. Everytime I asked for the welcome box I also...

2022 R18 Transcontinental has a $2150 option for 1st edition package. I paid the $2150 3 months ago and would like to receive what I paid for. I also for the last decade have had two nonidentical bikes and have asked the same dealer multiple times for information so that I may purchase a 2022...

They blame BMW

I was told by the dealer it was. Frankly I'm sure it's some token that I could care less about but my annoyance comes about having to beg the dealer every step of the way up to and including taking my order at full list on the Transcontinental. After driving an hour to the store twice and...

It is my understanding that the 1st Edition package was to receive a 1st Edition Gift Box? I purchased a new 2022 Transcontinental over 3 months ago and have now reached out to the dealer 7 times asking for it. They have excuses but nothing else. I will say this dealer is probably the worst...

Ok 2300 miles and ready to do a bag off cleaning. Not so easy? On all my Harley baggers they had two 1/4 turn screws to release the bag and a quick connect for the electrical . The Transcendental requires a tool, ok but it appears no disconnect for electrical???? Am I missing something? I...

Being my Harley was a CVO it had the upgraded radio and in the parking lot sounded great. Because of the CVO fairing and low windshield design creating wind noise anything over 40 miles per hour was mostly unlistenable. With the stock* windshield on the Transcontinental at 70 MPH listening to...

Yes the CVO had stage I. The attached Dyno sheet is for my 2018 CVO Limited spec at the rear wheel. The transcendental only produces 91HP at the engine I assume low 80's at the wheel.

Yes taking the Transcontinental off the kickstand takes effort. I made the mistake ( only once) of perching the bike downhill, I had to get help to push it up straight. Lesson learned. As far as storage capacity ,a lot is loss by the bags being overbuilt double lined. Harley is a single layer...

No actually the newer Harleys once off engine idle have no vibration. They are either balanced engine or rubber mounted.. After not being on my 2018 Road King Special for 2 months having too much fun on my Transcontinental I jumped back on it the other day. The first thing that struck me was...

On the Transcendental the stock windshield makes the rider compartment dead quiet , no buffeting and the radio sounds like it's in your car. The downside is the top is right in my line of sight and is so tall I feel like I am not on a motorcycle but behind a windshield in a car. I bought and...

At 600 miles on our Transcontinental had the same thing happen. Got caught in one of the worst rain storms I had ever been in for about 60 miles. The See your dealer warning came on and the bike ran like one plug wire was shorting out. Next day started the bike , same warning. It was due for...
