2023 BMW R18B and 2023 BMW R18C
This is the bike that I traded in for a TC. Metal in the oil and BMW warrantied the engine. While waiting for a new engine, they found me a TC in white and a great deal. So if you are in the market for a Bagger, this one has a new engine at a great price! $12,499 (But I bet you could get it cheaper).

If you are local, I have a bunch of accessories for it and would even help you install them.

Which one do you prefer: Bagger or TC?

Love my TC! It is good at everything. But its name is Fat Elvis cause it is so heavy. Bagger is easier to handle and I would buy mine back if I had the garage space. But that seat on the TC along with the wind management makes the TC an easy pick for 1st place.
 
You know, I've always wondered, I don't need the top case of the TC but I like the wind management everyone mentions so is it better to get an R18B and add the wind management extras (screen, leg deflectors, winglets) or get a TC and just remove the top case (requires some re-wiring from what I understand)?

Love the Classic I have but a bigger fuel tank (plus gas gauge) would be nice to have ... the extra weight not so much.
 
My R18 BTC lol :p . Quick release trunk and 5 minute swap on the seat if I really want the full bagger experience, but this is way too comfortable for me now. Heavy?...hell yeah. The addition of the trunk completely changes the feel of the bike but I'm ok with it now. Like everything else, you get used to it, and if I want, it's a 10-minute swap on the seat and trunk removal.IMG_2031.jpegIMG_2030.jpeg

I have yet to see that Dragon Fire Red in person.
 
I have the Roadstyler passenger Backrest with rack in chrome and the Memphis Shades fork lowers. The fairing mounted wind deflectors are still on the bike.

Ive owned many bikes over the decades. The TC has the best wind management of any of them (including the HD RoadGlide).
An inexpensive way to get good wind management on any bike is to buy the $95 fork deflectors from Memphis Shades. Those deflectors result in zero updraft which makes world of difference.
