    The haters´ magnifying glass

    One of the main things that drew me to the R18 is the mid-controls. I didn't like riding with forward controls. I feel that mid-controls keep you connected to the bike much better.

    Where to buy helmets

    I purchased one last year at Cycle Gear. Find a place that has a large selection so you can try them on and have a good fit. My local BMW dealer also had a large selection. Some helmet manufacturers like Arai, have price control so the prices are the same no matter where you get them.

    About noisy 2

    Time To Move On ?

    My local dealer has eight 2025 R18 in stock. All offered at full MSRP. They also have two 2024s with a $7,000 discount off of MSRP, which is what I got when I bought my 2023 last April.

    Fob voltage ?

    I had to replace mine after about a year. Energizer or Duracell for the replacement and you shouldn't have an issue.

    I recently installed the Clearview R18 Classic 18 inch replacement with the recurve. It only has marginal improvement over the OEM. I'm 5'-7" tall and on the stock seat.

    R18 Classic Windshield Clip

    Does anyone know if BMW makes a plug to put in the top of the forks when the windshield bracket is removed?

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I try not to buy much from eBay. Too many issues. Hopefully, the seller will make good on it.

    Helmet Lock

    I just picked up a Panther cable lock from Bezos. I have a full-face helmet and can run the cable through the opening. I don't trust the ones that only attach to the chin strap.

    Improving Rear Visibility

    A friend mentioned to me that the taillights were very bright and easy to see at night after he was riding behind me.
