when you going to stop by the shop?!

I know! I'll make of point of dropping by soon.

Yes I am very very happy with it. The app is extraordinarily easy to use, the device screen is very clear even in bright sunlight, and the charge lasts all day.
I am a minimalistic rider (coming from riding GS and the everything but the kitchen sink attitude).
My gear is the Moto II, iPhone 16 Pro Max and HERO 4K. They replace what on the GS was ConnectedRide Navigator, an APS-C Camera and an Insta360.
100% back to basics!

I can plan the ride on the Beeline app on the iPad (or the iPhone) it's saved on their cloud so you can start edit on one and finish in the other.
The device (which is basically an interface to the app) allows you to accept a re-routing offer, skip waypoints, etc. and offers a lot of trip information.
Voice prompts (which at one point were a subscription option) are now standard, and they are useful if you have a Bluetooth helmet paired to your phone.
Also, the map they use is very comprehensive.
The combination of app / device / user interface is superb.

I have a Beeline as well. I was unaware that the voice prompting is now available without a subscription.

I just changed my R18 puré for this Transcontinental, so happy with it!

Nice! That's a color I've not seen on the r18 before

It’s Brooklyn Grey (new for ‘25).
The Motoraad site doesn’t do it justice until you see it in the flesh.

I’m just waiting for the other 16L Motoraad bag to arrive. ‘Should’ be this week.
I’ve also ordered all black BMW badges for the cylinder guards.
Then lots more iconic pics.

For those who said BMW will discontinue the R18 series. That one is the 2025, and every new model is more beautiful than the last one

‘The Grey’….

Ride to Billy Swamp Cafe and meet with my GS riding buddies. They want me back on a GS for more tour/adv rides.
I don't know if I can, I like my R 18 Classic and it holds enough luggage for long weekend trips.
Do miss the forest roads and creek crossings.
