Classic without bags

[NorCalR18]

Hey Guys, I'm close to buying an R18 and still deciding between the base R18 and the Classic. I prefer the exhaust on the Classic and the option to have bags when needed but also like the clean look without bags. How difficult is it to remove/replace the factory bags on the Classic? I believe both bikes use the same rear fender so I'm imagining an unobtrusive bracket showing with the bags off but it would be great to see a picture of the Classic sans bags if anyone has one?

Hi all, I took delivery of a '21 R18C this past Saturday. Still very new to me, but it has very quickly become one of my all-time favorite bikes. Looking forward to the weather breaking and putting the tools away. So far, I have removed the pillion and pegs, bags, and windshield ... adding just...

I did a search for “classic without bags.”

Takes 5 minutes. There are studs that stick out of the rear fender that are visible with the bags off, but they aren’t unsightly. I regularly remove / replace the bags and the windscreen. The windscreen is even easier to remove.

Good to know, that's exactly what I had in mind
