Same here in Australia, second hand R18's go for less than a HD Sportster. And that idea that the heal/toe shifter helps with gear change is BS! I've tested these bikes.. heal shift only moves up gears. The issue with these bikes is getting your toe under the head to down shift and break. Still... would I buy one.. yep I would! Beautiful bikes, well built, comes with way more features than a HD Road King as standard, and if you can live with mid controls they are fabulous to ride. Just buy second hand!! You will never get a Road King as cheap as one of these (second hand)
same in the states.... I see one dealer has 5 of these brand new that are 2 years old..I personally love them, guess i'm in the minority.... $12k brand new here.
You had me at "Lookbackability"! Nuff' said and well done video review!
Have not ridden one as yet. Seems that the 21” front wheel was the tweak that brought this bike into its own!,
Have 5500kms on mine and love it. Heel toe so easy to use. Open road cruising at 100kph very economical.

I bought one of these. I fkn love it.
Looks like a great motorcycle.
In our UK market, it's an unsaleable depreciation machine.
Why? I have one. It's fantastic.
