Sorry, found some info here on the forum - those winglets seem to be very useful in hot weather, which is what I need them for most I think. Anyone found a way to install them on the bagger without moving/removing the OEM blinkers?

The small wind deflectors attached to the fairing on TC, are they mostly for defeating air flow? Or does anyone also angle/open them up them in hot weather? Opened up, do they actually direct air towards the rider in hot weather, more so than the bagger that doesn't have them?

I was going to download a manual for the bagger but there are three versions with different dates: 07/2021 onward 10/2021 onward 08/2022 onward Are these just updated/corrected versions so I should pick the latest one? (Then why keep the old ones online?) Or does it refer to certain builds...

I would think the speakers are water resistant, otherwise bmw would get a lot of complaints and warranty claims. But here comes the noob question since I don't have the bike: If you would accidentally rinse water directly on the pannier speakers, they would collect it like a pool, right? Or is...

Triumph shaved 40 kg off for the new Rocket 3 compared to the old Rocket III so perhaps they didn't want to add that weight back for a cruiser model. Or perhaps the old Rocket III Touring didn't sell well enough, who knows. But I think there is a demand, this seems to be a topic in motorcycle...

Thanks for sharing your story. I test rode the R but would have had the GT with R pegs if I had bought it. I think the riding position on my test ride wasn't ideal so perhaps that contributed to me not bonding with the bike. Anyway I think I have moved on to R18 now since it too has plenty of...

I have no bike at the moment, sold my RT a couple of months ago. Fantastic bike. The weather protection was great, but too great on the hot days so I understand your points. Also I felt a bit disconnected from the road, like a "cockpit & plastic" feeling and wanted a more naked bike. The Rocket...

Hi and welcome from another new member! What made you do the swap? I'm very interested in hearing why, cause I've been lusting for the Rocket 3 since it came out 2020. My goal was to make it work as a touring bike, which would have meant adding a rear fender and a bigger windshield at the least...

I didn't know that. But I guess most units were sold with the FE package when it was available. Yeah, I've been thinking about the Classic and taking the windshield on and off depending on weather. And the naked R18's look absolutely stunning. But then I think I will appreciate the extra wind...

What does that translate into cruising speed? What is the rpm at 60 mph?

Yes really helpful! And it confirms what I suspected, that 2022 is the only model year for First Edition B and TC. I also assume that production has stopped so there will be no 2023 model. But I guess that doesn't mean that e.g. all FE Bagger are identical - I think they can and will still...

Thanks a lot, really helpful. Over 60 mph it's understandable that sound quality is degrading. I just watched some reviews on youtube and the R18 Marshall system seemed to outbeat what HD and Indian has to offer. But I wonder can the rear speakers really handle heavy rain? Reviews and comments...

Is it really that big of a difference compared to Pure/Classic? I've ridden the bagger for a short test, at least that limited experience didn't scare me off. Perhaps I need to ride them all, but I have a long way to nearest dealer. And how does TC/B handling compare to similar cruisers from HD...

I've never had speakers on a bike, I've been using ear plugs. So how great does it sound compared to ear plugs? And does sound quality decrease a lot at higher speeds?

I like them all for what they are. Pure looks fantastic, even some customised ones look beyond amazing. And I think the fairing of B/TC is the best-looking I've ever seen. This is why it is so hard to decide :p

I'm not a rich guy, but this time I actually have the money and I'll probably just pay to have peace of mind. I hate loans and financial planning - perhaps why I'm not a rich guy... 😂 I didn't know about the ground clearance, good to know. I think all the features steer me towards the B or TC...

It'ill be solo riding most of the time, two up will be around 2-3 times a year. But I'm leaning towards the B or TC anyway, because of features and wind protection. Some members seem to have experience of multiple R18's - am I right thinking that the difference in wind protection between Classic...

Thanks, I haven't seen that before. I've been focusing on the FE so much and I don't think you can order new FE's any longer. But since you can get such great deals on demos/used I think I would rather go that route anyway.

Thanks! I like the Classic too, actually I like all R18 models, they all look stunning! I've been considering Pure and Classic as well, but I think the B/TC with their added features, hard panniers and wind protection would suit me better. Yes I've noticed the price on demo bikes have dropped...

Hi, I signed up to the forum because I'm interested in the R18 B or TC, but I don't have one yet. I like the look of the First Edition, but I seem to have missed the train and need to buy a used one when an opportunity arises. Some questions I have about the B/TC First Edition model year(s?)...
