      @@bmwmotorrad Have a look at our video, but I love the long wheelbase which suits a tall guy like me, as so many bikes are tiny! It is art on wheels! I thought the handling was first class and at least as good, if not better than the Harley-Davidson softails.

    Hello from Athens, Greece.
    Although I'm not a fan of BMW's bikes, R18 came and put me into spell. This is pure magic. It gets me back to the old days of 1930's. the hand painted tank, the forks, the frame, the wheels and, of course, the exhausts. The "Berlin Built" is the absolute touch. Berlin, my favourite city (visit at least twice a year) with a beautiful bike like this? It's a dream!
    BMW hit the jackpot with this one. I wouldn't change a thing except a back seat for the passenger.
    The bike in Greece starts from 27.000 euros.
    Let's save some money now.

    I have just traded in my R9t for an R18, fantastic bike, having owned a host of cruisers from different manufacturers, this has a presence like nothing else.Whilst depreciation from list price is massive it enabled me to purchase a pre reg for half price, and so much more bike than the American brands.

      I just paired my Softail Deluxe with my first BMW (R Nine T). Different enough to keep both but if I was forced to choose I'd keep my Harley. Can't fault the BMW. Fantastic, flexible motor with lots of power, character, amazing engine-braking; great handling, brakes, build-quality etc. But not every decision is a rational one. The heart wants what the heart wants. :-)

    Took a seat on the first edition yesterday. More room than I expected with that engine configuration. I noticed one problem straight away; the gear shift lever is very close to the bottom of the right jug. The top of my toe was touching the fins on the bottom. That was with a pair of sport bike shoes on and not proper cruiser boots. I checked the website and didn't see an optional shorter shift lever or any adjustability. Of course the dealer didn't have a clue yet. BMW do you have a solution for this problem? I don't want to melt my toes.

    • @bmwmotorrad
      @bmwmotorrad  4 роки тому +1

      Hello Chad,
      the foot rests are not adjustable. However, you have the possibility to adjust the angle of the foot rests by choosing seat variants/heights and there is also the option of "floor boards", where the ergonomics change slightly. Please contact your local dealer for further information. You can find him here: www.bmw-motorrad.com/dealer. 🙂

    It is a beauty... I wonder if the engine builder or designers ever considered a single pin crankshaft. That beating heart you speak of can really only come from a single pin crank (Harley, Ducati, victory, Indian and more) I am and owner of a large displacement BMW and yes the engine design does have character, but the power pulse output is very sewing machine. Do love that BMW has done so many amazing things with this 18. It’s huge

    Beauty is in the eyes of beholder ! I find these bikes with ultra wide boxer engines and fishtail exhausts to be Ugly !
    I prefer the looks of Rocket 3 and Triumph Bobber..

    The biggest problem with this bike is the ride position is too low that it lead to lack of lean angle. Little bit low corner enough to make your pegs scratch. The sad thing is it happen too often even if you ride slow. I'm fine with mid control but it problem when the ride position is low.

    seems like a poor engine layout for a cruiser. no possibility of forward controls or forward foot rests for stretching out. certainly a sweet looking bike though. and it sure does check off the box for being different.

    How is it even possible that this bike does not offer cruise control? Sad..

    It's pretty and I've loved BMW bikes since I was a kid cutting class in the mid-90s but... a cruiser without ridiculously forward footpegs? I'm just not sure who this bike is for or how well it will sell. If I want a comfy bike I'd buy a K1600GTL or a Goldwing. If someone wants a cruiser, I'd think they'd go for a v-twin with feet stuck out like an ottoman. I love my '11 R1200R and my next bike will likely be an R nineT Scrambler. I say this from a position of love. I wish BMW Motorrad all the success in the world but I remember the R1200C and just wonder how well this will sell.

    • @vacoas04
      @vacoas04 4 роки тому

      Hello Becker, thank you for your feedback! As the new BMW R 18 will soon arrive at dealers later this month, we decided to make the all-in-one in the spotlight video as a response to the many questions we receive from our community.

    I would like a reasonable displacemement boxer engine bike like the one i had; a 1990 R 80 GS. But BMW thinks we need these exponents nowadays. How is it possible??????

    Nothing said, or shown, regarding side cases, or any other means of hauling gear. It may 'inspire' someone who is looking for a bar hopping bike..

    @rainerb.7457 4 роки тому

    As a former BMW driver and current HD fan, I can only say that the seating position is unsuitable for a cruiser, the design is a matter of taste, I don't like it. Every Harley is more beautiful.

    • @tonebonetones
      @tonebonetones 4 роки тому

      Nonsense. Harley's are dinosaurs meant for straight roads. The BMW ergonomic design is superior in every way.
