I own the Classic version. Love it! One significant flaw. The windscreen is abhorrent. Horrific wind buffeting. Shame on the design engineer. Abysmal failure. However, there is a fix, at a very reasonable price. Clearview Shields (Fort Collins, Colorado). Multiple heights, widths, and curvature to redirect wind. Impressive design and material, and a great price.
@@Jeff034 What really did the trick was adding lower fork deflectors from Memphis Shades . Quite a bit of the buffeting was coming from air from below.
Basically it was managed by the dealer. What does meter reset mean? If you're talking about the 1000km check icon popping up, that was also fixed by the dealer. Sorry for the late!
@@fauveride Your BMW has a maintenance light that comes on in your center speedometer console whenever your bike needs a factory recommended service. For instance an oil change is coming due. Or maybe an air filter change is coming due. Bottom line I do 90% of my own maintenance b/c I like to learn how my vehicles work and save a ton of money. The maintenance meter on your BMW can't be reset without the dealer doing it. That's a rip off! I saw bullshit....learn how to do basic stuff yourself. If the dealer is the only entity that can reset your maint meter...I wouldn't buy one. If I knew how to reset to meter that would be different. Or you would have to ride around with a maint light blinking at you.
@@garybaldwin1061 I don't have the R18 yet but thinking about getting one. I saw this video of the diagnostic tool to reset the service reminder light ua-cam.com/video/GrMl9SLmyII/v-deo.html you can get the tool from amazon at around $399.
Hi, I see you got the handlebar clamp risers, do you need to buy new clutch/brake lines? Or you just need to re-attach them with the metal extenders they provide along w/ the risers. Also, how do you now find the bike handling. Thank you.
Also...is there a passenger backrest and rear rack available? I love my r18classic...just need a new more comfortable seat front and back! Great fuel milage too but would love a larger fuel tank but not shaped like the dresser r18. Same shape as the one it comes with.
Just returned from a 1400 mile trip and the bike handles great! It is very user friendly and easy to ride. It got great fuel milage specially at high altitude. From dessert to mountains avg was 47mpg at higher than normal mph!!
first of all, thanks, I sold it for about $20,000 at the time. However, since this is Korea, you should be aware that the value of a bike may vary from country to country.
Fantastic model, maybe the best on the market. Lucky you to drive and run this beast.
A beautiful and magnificent piece of machinery 😎
Really, such a gorgeous bike ❤
Cool sissybar
'Berlin Built .'.!! Fine statement .
Nice 👍🏼
Where did you get the backrest???
Where did the rear rack come from? Looks good
I don't know if it's on eBay, but it's made in China and I bought it from a site called aliexpress.

That's really is, windscreen is kind of obstruction. Glad that you found a good substitute
All it needs is the Wunderlich extension. Works a treat

Do you do your own maintenance...basic stuff like oil changes? How do you reset the maint meter or does that have to be done at the dealer? Thanks.

You saw it exactly. No new lines are needed, an extender is enough. The handling is very stable and the posture is comfortable.
Have a good day!
Thanks for the info...is there a larger fuel capacity but of same build style as the 4.23 gal?
Also...is there a passenger backrest and rear rack available? I love my r18classic...just need a new more comfortable seat front and back! Great fuel milage too but would love a larger fuel tank but not shaped like the dresser r18. Same shape as the one it comes with.

At legal speeds limits I avgd above 53 mpg!!!
magnificent, can I ask you how much you sell it?

Like very much
안녕하세요 좋아요 구독했습니다!! 혹시 등받이 제품 어디껀지 알수 있을까요 ㅎ
안녕하세요~ 쿠리야킨이 원래 이런 걸 만드는 곳인데 r18용은 없는걸로 알고요 알리익스프레스에서 r18 backrest 검색하시면 나올거에요~
감사합니다 ㅠㅠ
Where did you buy the Camera?
It's called gemini 3 from Taiwan
you don't have to buy this, can easily find something similar on eBay
Great looking set up. I have the same phone mount. Does yours have the Q charger and if so how did you wire it up? Eric
I’ve got touratech dual usb charger that replaces the original cigar jack. wiring is easy, just use cable tie under the tank. Have a good day!
