How do you like your 1600? Was thinking to looking at that unit.

Awesome machine only problem for me is top heavy weight. The power is addicting and super smooth. They eat tires too, especially the front because of weight.
I am not familiar with Akrapovic exhaust I run open exhaust except for the catalytic converter, sorry
I was wondering if it is possible to change my member name, or is that a mess to make happen?

Several guys have told me that my handle is awkward to use since it is 1 letter followed by 5 digits. Not a very personable handle I guess.

If possible, I would change the member name from "R18 100" to "BER18". Would hate to forfeit all the previous posts.

Greetings, what do I do when I sell something I have posted on this site? I sold it elsewhere.

Mark it is as sold on the thread. IE reply to the post and say it was sold
Hast anyone ever had a fuel leak problem from the underside of an R18 Bagger fuel tank? The tank is three quarters full and the bike has been standing for two months. I noticed the smell of fuel a couple of weeks ago then saw the traces of fuel leaking onto the right side of the engine case. Any thoughts on this?

So, I'm wondering for those that have purchased and downloaded the Brentune remap, what do you think and is it worth bothering with?
I ride my 23 anniversary model in Rock mode and my only interest is in torque and acceleration. And of course smoothing out any flat spots in the torque curve.

Thanks.
Actually, I am in Scranton, PA,(3 hours from Albany); That having been said, If we were to have a warm Saturday, I'm sure we could put together a ride. My name is Bill and my MOA # is 7012 My number is 570-906-1226. Feel free to be in touch!

Hello from Alberta, Canada. I just purchased a new 2023 medium blue R18 Transcontinental a couple of weeks ago....just in time for winter's arrival. Love it. Have spent the last 25 years riding 6 cylinder Hondas. My last BMW was a 1977 R75/7 which I purchased new. Had it until marriage, kids and work interfered.

I am enjoying this forum.

Hello RyBread, I'm a new member - waiting to introduce myself to the forum until my R18 is delivered sometime this week. On one of your posts, you said that the Hex EZ Can for the BMW k1600 and R9T models will work on the R18. Just wanted to get your advice and find out if this indeed true. Thanks.

Yes. I have the Gen I Hex EZ Can fitted and it works fine.

Thanks for the reply. I've already gone ahead and installed one to control Denali D7s, B6 brake light, and Mini Sound Bomb. Everything is working fine.
I'm based in UK. I'm considering giving my handle bar and a few chrome components a glossy black powder coat. I am having trouble finding a mechanic that can remove these items and reinstall them. I spoke with the BMW Showroom, but their quotation is far too high. None of local garage would do this. Is there someone in the area who can help me to remove and reinstall for me at a fair price?

My apology, I’ve sent many photos on this forum but it is not letting me do it now. You can call me with questions at 812-483-3913. BTW Pro Race still has not sent my full titanium exhaust. It has been close to a month now. Regards, Tony
Nice bike. I also have the 100th anniversary. It’s on display at BMW Melbourne until I can ride it in July. But I own it. I’ve never ridden one. Are you happy with yours?
