2 in the back trikes are no fun but 2 in the front trikes are really different and a lot of fun to ride, in my experience

Seems pretty wasteful that they eliminated the side cases and the associated storage...

It looks like there’s side cases between the bike and rear wheel fenders and storage in the back

I like the look of those wheels... They look like a heavy spoked wheel..

Nice looking bike, except for the apes.

The mini apes don't look too bad... Beach Bars or even straight drag bars would look sick on that bike...
It has a great foundation for someone to make it their own with some little changes..

Yeah.... if in the market for a one I think I'd consider this.... it's probally about a $4k premium over stock.... a bike for my feeling tough (with a hint of different) days.... you could ride straight over road kill (and electric scooter/bike riders) with the 23" and a wilbers +20.....

Brilliant paint scheme that could have been for the ‘26 model that we never got.
It is interesting how BMW can do a motorcycle build and end up with a bike having superior optics to any other make.
Perhaps vain on my part, I have contemplated buying a second R18.

Not at all. If you have the means and storage capacity, I would say go for it. You only live once and cannot take it with you so enjoy life to the fullest and I quote H. Jackson Brown Jr.
