R18 1st Edition
Simple question I think, do the R18 1st Edition bikes have "Adaptive Lighting " headlights" I don't really ride after dark so I wouldn't know the difference. I've tried to see if there are a extra leds in there somewhere but again not sure what I am looking for. I saw something about the recall on the TC versions but there you can see the headlight is different to what I have.
 
The FE does have "adaptative" headlights.
A tiny side light gets on in curves.
Very discreet influence on the visibility.
