    Iconic Pictures with R18

    When I had my B, I purchased a private number plate that read R18JUG. I was not allowed to ad the S at the end 🙄

    Question Speaker

    Probably a loose connection when turning the handlebars. In the pursuit of clean lines and minimalistic exposure, there is not an awful amount of slack on cables and lines. If the connectors are solid at both ends, chances are one of the cables is probably breaking. I never had to disassemble...

    Moving on to a different R

    When I sold my B on px the dealer offered me £500 less than my absolute minimum, however, the K he was selling brand new was heavily discounted to make room for the 2026 models. He said that the R18 was not everyone’s cup of tea and would probably be sitting on the showroom for a few months if...

    Nice Day for a Ride/That’ll Buff Out 🙄

    I am sorry to hear that happened to you. I would advise you to get the OEM crash bars. I had them on my B and saved my bacon twice with no damage whatsoever to the bike, only a minor scratch to the lower part of the crash bar smaller than my little finger nail. Ride safe

    Kickstand plate, pad.

    I have one of these on my panniers at all time in case I need to park on an unsafe spot. Amazon sells them and cheap as chips 😉

    Bagger 719 Option seat.

    Hi all, I am parting with a few bits I have left from my old R18B. I have the 719 option seat which is almost new, possibly under 1k miles as I bought a plain one to have it reupholstered etc. There are no marks or scuffs and the electrical wiring is as good as new. Selling it for £300.00 plus...

    Sold First edition welcome box for sale. Copper roundels.

    Hi all, I am parting with a few bits I have left from my old R18B. I have the welcome box with the copper plated roundels I used to have on my B. Except the roundels, which I bolted on my bike and the book, which I read, everything else is unused. I paid around £150.00 for the box but will offer...

    I will say, keep riding as normal and if it happens again then definitely take it to the dealer for inspection. It may have been a one off incident if water somehow made contact with a sensitive part that caused then computer to generate the code. I once got a code as well riding at motorway’s...

    How the vibe works

    I did like the shake at idle, it is part of the charm. 2.5/2.6K rpm seemed to be the sweet spot on my B and that was between 65 to 70mph. The shake was more noticeable when she was new but started improving past the 2.6K miles on the odometer and got even better as the miles increased. The same...

    More than one bike

    Are you riding in Rock mode? I rarely did on the R18 as Road was plenty for me and I use to get 58 to 62 on my B at motorway speeds and around 2.6K RPMs. Never paid attention to the consumption on head winds I must admit. I also rode solo as my wife is not into motorcycles 😂😂😂
