Nice trio. It looks like your r18 is all stock. I didn’t know that option was available…

I miss my R1200C! I should have kept it. Most everybody else hates these things, but I had mine since new over 20 years ago. Got rid of it when I got the R18

I loved mine too, but love the torque of the big boxer!

I kept my R1200C Montauk after buying my R18 FE.
I rode a 80 km yesterday with it.
I still love it, despite the lack of torque compared to my R18.
The chassis, the incredible powered breaking, this bike is still fantastic.

R1200RT and a K1600GT. Currently still have a BSA Lightning (1971) and have had a Harley Dyna Wide Glide in the past.

This thing is finally back up and running. It's quite the "event" when a crank goes. Finding a replacement crank for a '57, and then finding somebody to rebuild what you find (because they all seem to need it) isn't a quick process. All is well that ends well though, and it's up and running and purring like a kitten...

How did you discover the crack? Just curious. Was it during a routine tear down?

Discovering that there was a problem didn't require Columbo. I was accelerating at around 30mph and there was a big "BANG!!!". Fortunately I was on my way home, and was only a mile or so away. The thing made a huge racket after that, and I thought it had to do with the transmission. But it blew a head gasket in the process, which was weird. Ultimately after checking everything else, it required a tear down to figure what was wrong.
