Hello there everyone,
My name is Col and I live in Glasgow, Scotland. I joined the forum a couple of days ago as I want to find out more about the R18, particularly the Classic & Bagger versions. I very recently retired (59) and I am thinking about trading my 2018 R1200GS Adv Rallye as it is becoming a bit of a handful due to the seat height. My wife will no longer ride with me as it is too much of a struggle for her to climb off/on the GSA but she is dead keen on me getting an R18B.
So, I have been trawling the BMW Motorrad UK sales for a couple of weeks looking for one to catch my eye.
If I ask too many stupid questions then feel free to say so or point me in the right direction.
So, first stupid question is around "reverse gear"
1) Does reverse come as standard equipment on the B and/or C
2) If not standard, can it be retro-fitted.
Ok, that will do for now. I'll hang about in the shadows for a while.
Cheers
Col.
