Poll: How do you ride your R18 engine?

[BobW]

Curious to see how everyone rides their engine. I personally vary from cruising highways at an above average pace and riding it hard like it’s a sport bike, using most of the rev range and gears. I feel this motor loves to have its legs stretched!

yes

I actually Gnash my teeth and cry in roll mode. Almost didn’t buy the bike because I left on the test ride in roll mode . I am an old school boxer rider; below 3500 RPM and I think the bike is a boat anchor… that being said, in rock mode and keeping the revs high I love my R18

I ride in ROCK Mode most of the time. The engine just hums along. When I go back to roll, it feels like something is wrong...

Rock mode is my standard, however I did ride it in rain mode to dealer for 600 mile checkup back in 2021 in heavy rain.
