Another hello from St. Louis

[Stelio Kontos]

Just picked up a 23 R18 on Saturday. Really enjoying it so far. This bike seems to have a character that my others didn't have. There is a bit of a learning curve getting used to the weight of this machine at low speeds. A few hundred miles and I think we will be good with that. Looking forward to reading and sharing my experiences with the forum.

Enjoy! ... I know I do

Congratulations and welcome to the forum. You will master the weight and handling in no time, they are very well balanced in my opinion.

Hello from STL as well. And agreed, my R18 felt clumsy at first, but after laying down some miles I appreciate it's stability and precision. I wonder if the weight just sits different than other cruisers and it takes time to adapt.

Welcome. I am also in STL and just bought mine on 6/20. I have about 250 miles on it so far and loving every second of it!
