Looks like a nice cruiser. Plan on taking it on any cross country trips?

If you were happy and you knew it, would you clap your hands?

I have some property in Arizona that I visit during the year. It's 350 miles one way. About 5.5 hours. I'll see if this old man is still up for the trip. In 1975 I rode a BMW motorcycle from New Jersey to Los Angeles (Van Nuys) ok. My last stab at youth.....sure looks like fun. In AZ I can ride it with an Auto Mag strapped to my hip. Cheers.......Bruce

That is also one fine machine Luc. I'll bet it was a pleasure to ride. At the end of a long ride you don't lay in bed that night and still feel the potato-potato of a Harley. My other motorcycle is an Indian but I haven't ridden it for a while.

Hummm, odd man out again,,,,
Never liked BMW bikes but to each his own. Back in the day, I was a hardcore KZ-900/1000 guy Then later the Yamaha FZR really spoke to me I think my riding days are behind me, but if I were shopping,,, the Yamaha FJ's have always just looked perfect to me. But as I said, to each his own. As a MOPAR guy, I am used to being on the "other" team ;-) Enjoy GH

What, no Earles fork?! It can't be a retro BMW without an Earles fork!

BMW has not offered the Earls Fork since 1969. They did offer the Telelever Fork but I don't like it. I'm not sure that an old Earls Fork would handle the weight of the new R-18. The biggest problems reported about the new R-18 is the cramped foot placement and a really stiff clutch. We will see. Bruce |
