Has anyone purchase the bmw service plan for their R18 and if so do prices vary? Long time back, could be mistaken, thought it is illegal for people in FL to purchase such a plan outside of FL. That sounds weird…though thinking it had to do with so many old people in FL the State was worried...

Local dealer has a service plan for 36 months though too think maybe they offer the bmw plan. Is a bmw 36 month service plan worth the cost and is there a best place to purchase it? Like to support a in State dealer though last time I purchased a bike later found out I could have gotten it out...

Title says it all. Have madstad screen and lowers, mustang dual seat (thinking) with backrest, aftermarket passenger back pad rack, bmw canvas bags, bmw engine guards with those funky toaster racks for leg rest, wunderlick (spelled wrong) led drive shaft light and their longer pegs (like pegs...

So, I can get 93 unleaded as well as 89 ethanol free. Was going to buy 2 gallons of each, but the bike wouldn’t hold that much so I got 2 gallons of 93 and 1 gallon of ethanol free today. Honestly I don’t know if I should just get the highest octane unleaded possible and not worry about...

Crib notes edition - Honestly, save for what seems to me a bit of long turn in I am liking my R18FE. Granted they cost too much at the start then dropped prices like a rock. The stock seat sucked lol. Though if you got one at the low price point I feel it is a great cruiser bike. It likes to...

Purchased some nice used stuff from a guy recently for a slightly used 2023 R1250GS which I recently purchased. He also had some Denali spot lights for sale. Here are the items he has. Uncertain what parts are needed, inferring such can be done, nor what parts beyond the dimmer control and...

I can claim I never wrote this post if I have to...like someone else did the post honest!!! I really do like my balloon shaped stock exhaust on my R18FE. Having said that, it seems the R18C exhaust will fit my bike. Is there any reason to change them out? Maybe just a bit of difference in...

Are you happy with your R18B? Might ride a used one tomorrow with low miles, listed for $14,500

Say it's not so. Well ok, maybe it is lol. Do wonder what that will be comfort wise. Too bad we won't get a 1250 engine thu. https://www.topspeed.com/leaked-new-bmw-r-12-cruiser-is-coming-for-the-harley-davidson-nightster/

Where is a link to order these? Anyone have them and if so do you know how they compare to the standard r18 canvas bags? Hope at lease these are less expensive. I would prefer not having to order from overseas.’’ Also, if same bag volume as other standard R18 bags wonder if these are...

Demo truck will be at dealer day after my birthday. Oh well, will go there anyway to demo ride the new R18 Roctane. Cann't help but think the side bags will be narrower then the stock R18 bagger. That one has speakers in the bags which I feel took up way too much space.

Doing a demo ride on a ‘demo’ 2022 left over model a dealer has, top end trim model. Not cheap at all though they are clearing it out for only $12 vs retail of maybe $15. I know it is like 60 miles range more/less (at least 60 if not on highway maybe). Not the 0.9% finance rate I got on the...

Got the email from motorrad usa saying 25% off accessories, geart and apparel. Now that is a nice BF deal in my book. Was ordering the solo seat from ft myers but now can order it from dealer closer to em and save a 4 hour ride each way.

There was a time a motorcycle was my only mode of transporation…rain or shine. A time when, come vacation time, I would hope on my bmw (mostly a 71 r75/5) and ride out of State to bmw rallies. Don’t recall the ride part, all interstate highways, as being fun. Looking back it was NOT Lol...

Apology, since thinking this topic has already been covered one figures… So yes, we own a R18 of some trim so each can say we are the Cool kid on the block. Each of us, maybe more so then the other, since we each have our favorite trim we like :) Though what about that other ‘cool’ factor of...

My Weekender seat is 13.5” deep from from tip to back right were the ‘backrest‘ hump begins. Can someone with the County seat measure yours and advise how deep (length) your seat is from tip of the front of the seat to right were the stitching denotes the backrest hump starting please. ty

No reply needed unless you likewise feel this is an issue and/or resolved it. Possible I have just been using my ipad too much lately though noticed while riding the R18 it seems I have to bend my wrist a bit such that it rotates to increase throttle in a downward position which results in a...

Darn, 65 mile ride and it felt ok. A 120 mile ride and it is a no go sadly. Don’t know if the backrest is playing a part though I feel I am seating too close to end of the gas tank (my legs are very close to the back of the tank). I thought somewhere on the site there was a post that showed...

While searching google for that windscreen rubber trim material I then check out their blog and read up on this product. I have never used it though have used the other fairing trim material and know that works. Might be worth a try. https://saeng.com/product/aerosol-polish-cleaner/

So I picked up a MadStad screen. Had taken the bike there and they had already made the screen per my order, in case I wanted it. Had told them I wanted to drop by prior to make it to confirm height and tint. Anyway, it seems a good height and liked the light tint (first grade of tint). Came...
