We discuss the main issues that people have expressed in the comments on our various BMW R 18 videos.
The Ol’ Man has been in terrible pain and we talk about this too. Unfortunately, due to this, the Harley-Davidson Pan America testride day at the Experience Centre in Wales had to be cancelled, because he was simply unable to walk – let alone ride. That was the video we had intended to upload, but apologies, that isn’t happening now.
The BMW R18 cruiser motorcycle with the 1800 cc boxer engine is a motorcycle people love to love; and love to hate! Just read the comments we will inevitably get below! There are a few major barriers for some, that prevent them buying this motorbike, and we discuss each, in detail.

We had the ZEN L GPS Motorcycle and Scooter Tracker, which is easy to install and can be used for other valuables too! It runs on a rechargeable battery or you can opt for the adapter kit to connect it to your motorcycle battery if you prefer.
Receive notifications to your phone with the FREE Beepings App, in case of suspicious movement thanks to the vibration sensor and define perimeters to be alerted in case of entry or exit.
Wherever you are, access to your GPS position & tracking history through the application’s user-friendly interface.
You can offer an access to your geolocation and the other features of your trackers to anyone you want, and also send an SOS message from your trackers.
The ZEN L GPS tracker works in all circumstances thanks to Sigfox and its European coverage. Its functioning will never be altered because it has an anti-jamming system and it can not be detached from the asset equipped with the anti-pullout support provided. Please check coverage in your area before purchasing as some remote areas are not fully covered.

The cylinders also serve as crash bars and they protect the feet and ankles if the bike is laid down.
had it over a year and with 3.5k miles- Absolutely love this bike.. the seat is horrendous- like a wooden stool and the suspension sucks- YUP BUTTHURT over here, no fuel gauge but tons of other unnecessary info, also, just had the valves adjusted under warranty. Believe me this is one of the finest bikes out there— compared to my harley this does not get hot at all.
Unlikely to be shingles as several dermatomes were affected at the same time. From what you told I would suspect a contact dermatitis, perhaps caused by a new washing powder? Try changing that, if it doesn’t clear up, ask for a referral to a dermatologist. Best of luck. Thanks for the informative videos.
What about the cost of repairs when the bike slides are bmws expensive because I really want this bike so bad
Shame about the adverts
I must’ve watched hours and hours of motorcycle reviews on YouTube but this is the most objective, well presented review I’ve ever watched. King regards from Barcelona!
That exhaust is fugly
Hey Ol man I feel for ya brother, the R18 is a nice ride it is, it's just not for me, I can ride from one side of Australia to the other N-S-E-W on serious long haul coast to coast road trips in true comfort, and the one simple thing that helps every time is my highway pegs, to be able to stretch out when needed and continue on doing 800 km days with absolute ease. Love ya reviews Ol man
Im not a side car guy but can't help thinking this would look pretty epic with a similarly finished sidecar !
Skin issue can be using clothes fabric softener or a really powerful detergent that does not wash out in the laundry. You sweat; the fabric softener or detergent left in your clothes, attacks your skin. It can be really bad. I told my wife no fabric softener in my underwear …tshirts as well as briefs.
The R18 is an amazing bike. Just a piece of artwork. I wouldn't change anything on it if I owned one. I love the weird exhausts. They look 90 years old, just like the bike is meant to celebrate. The whole bike is beautiful.
