    The price for a 600 miles in Las Vegas (euro cycle)

    Bike is as good as and problem free as BMW intended. But "me" purchasing it was the biggest mistake. I normally ride about 10,000 miles a year on all my bikes. I bought this one on June 2023 as brand new from the dealership and after 350miles riding to home since then only put 2100 miles on it...

    The price for a 600 miles in Las Vegas (euro cycle)

    This is NOT a statement on EuroCycle but rather something else... I am 65 years old and I ride bikes since I was 17. That makes me a rider since 48 years. And in those 48 years I owned over 30 bikes from manufacturers like BMW, Honda, Yamaha & Kawasaki... Mostly BMW though... And in that 48...

    Thinking about a R18 Transcontinental

    Exactly. Our riding styles and ride plans are unique to each one of us. I hardly ride my bikes locally. I mean if I have to go somewhere within 100 mile destination (roundtrip) I don't even bother to dress up and get on my bike 95% of the time. When I am dressed and on my bike 90% chance I am...

    Thinking about a R18 Transcontinental

    Not being a versatile and agile as my old GSA 1250... And of course smoothness is an issue for me too. I have to admit it's a fun bike to ride but not an ideal bike to ride. If I could have two bikes I'd keep this one and get a GSA too... But as in my situation when I could have only one bike...

    Transcontinental owners! Tell me about the windshield!

    There's nothing wrong with the customization of a bike to make it a perfect fit to one's needs and body shape and size. But at least bike has to offer a little flexibility in certain areas. I am sure my next one will be again an adventure bike whether a 2024 GSA or something else but first...

    Transcontinental owners! Tell me about the windshield!

    I agree 100%. I shoulda picked a different bike. It was a big mistake to jump on this devil as an impulse buy! When I looked at the TC, I thought myself "Hey, I never ride one of these type bikes so WTH, let me try"... I don't know WTH I was thinking? I ride since 17 that makes 48 years of...

    Transcontinental owners! Tell me about the windshield!

    It sucks because on a $20,000+ costing bike windshield should have some adjustability. We're not all 5'10"... I am 6'1" and it feels like a drummer having a solo on top of my head everytime I go over 60mph.

    BMW Stop Sale

    I hope they issue a Buy Back! Because there is no such thing as second hand sale possibility for a TC at the moment. Even if you ask $5000 less than what we paid for them when BMW competes with us and offers better deals to buyers.

    Poll: How do you ride your R18 engine?

    On freeways with nominal traffic I put it on ROLL mode and set the cruise to 70 and let it follow the traffic. Smoother that way around 3000rpm... On twisties I switch to ROCK mode and between 25mph and 60mph I accelerate and slow down a little aggressively to have fun. But not in a risky way.

    Highway pegs

    I am looking really cool looking and efficient highway pegs for my TC. Like the kind that adjusts a little with its angle and doesn't let foot slip out easily. Any brand / model recommendation and where to get it?

    What kind of gas mileage are you guys getting?

    My TC in Rock mode gets 44.7mpg on freeway at 65-70 mph mix speeds with slight uphill and downhill terrain but mostly flat and straight away road. In twisties my speed mostly under 40-45mph I get 46.8mpg...

    One more gripe re: BMW Motorrad Connected app...

    Ok I tried every possible option at settings today and still couldn't get that volume bar increase/decrease 1 bar at a time. No matter what I tried it wasn't happening. If anybody figures it out please enlighten the the rest of us suckers! Thanks in advance and as usual, Ride Safe!

    Thinking about a R18 Transcontinental

    To be honest I normally do not like this type of bikes when they are especially black but DAAAANG, this thing looks like a masterpiece design of MichelAngelo!!
