Thanks for the info!! That's the exact model I am considering (as well as a fat boy bobber/ fat bob/ Indian darkhorse)
So far my idea seems more of a pipedream...
that was a question for you. i was asking for more details on your bike... I know you are in New Jersey; b/c your one sentence said that and little else. Stock bike, any accessories, properly serviced at shop or by you? wrecked, laid down, damaged, or any mechanical issues? Lastly, do you have...
Sadly, that is my experience too. Buyer gets it and changes their mind quickly.... for me it rode great and i was comfortable on it after the first city block! However, i am a habitual buyer/ trader of motorcycles (hence the reason my r1200r is in the for sale section). i have seen a dozen of...
Sold:
*** Negotiable on price and would consider an R18 as a trade with us adding $$ as desired.
Bike has been an excellent rider and travel companion since we picked it up, but old age and position/comfort need to be a priority for the next few years. Never laid down/ crashed or been abused...
I have read almost every post on wheel swaps and it sounds like a direct swap... just so I am 100%

- if I buy the FE, 100 anniversary, or base (with alloy wheels) will the classic 16"/16"...
I understand that to some degree, but for a new bike (only 2 years old) I was more surprised to see the number of them. I recall the serious challenges when the new vrod muscle, triumph thunderbird storm, and HD panamerica came out.
Thanks folks, I have been considering the sell of my secondary bike [2015 bmw r1200r LC premium] for a "big cruiser" more for me... I have a new goldwing for me and the daughter as well for the missus. The candidates were a fat boy (my 3rd), a new gen fat bob (had 3 older gens), a rocket III...
BTW, not asking to be combative... I have owned 75+ bikes over my years! I have bought and sold/ traded bikes for less reasons, lol. Even the "flavor of the week" has pushed me to sell.
I have seen a handful of these bikes for sale with little to no real mileage on them. How would you all explain this? Is it due to poor decision on buyer/ loss of appeal/ loss of value/ maybe they moved on to bigger bikes?
I am fairly certain I will buy used for less depreciation, but a new...
Hello forum, greetings from NC (a bit north of Charlotte). Bmw owner and prospective new owner of a BMW r18... I hope.
Been riding for 30+ years and 75+ bikes under my belt (built many a cafe racer before kids came along).
Here to learn about the r18 and be an informed buyer.
