The Stunning BMW R18 Bagger, better than a Harley Street Glide?
BMW have literally copied many of the design features of the ever popular Harley Davidson Street Glide. However with it's massive 1800cc Boxer Twin, can it "Out Harley" the Street Glide?
Yes you need to find out for yourself, so what are you waiting for? Get yourself a nice test ride booked ASAP.

    I’ve watched several Northumberland 250s. Some out of season or in bad weather. Some even do it in one day. I like this one. But I reckon it is a three day tour, with more stops. At least two castles out of Warkworth, Alnwick, Dunstanborough, Bamburgh and Lindisfarne. More café stops, including Rothbury. At least one hill climb. At least one beach walk. And a visit to Houseteads or Vindolanda.

But I nearly felt asleep watching your „testride“ and hearing you laughing. I drove with my own Freewheeler now more than 50000 kms and still I wait to see someone driving it faster than me!

  • @Fernando90054
    @Fernando90054 17 дней назад

    Is very likely and a big chance that you could be falling in love with the engine of the bike. The “general package” is leveled to the best standard values that characterize Premium bikes…So, if you were falling for the K1600, to me it’s a natural and predictable consequence of riding such an excellent bike. In my opinion on top of all I’ve been saying, the bike is a beauty. If money weren’t a thing, probably, this bike would gladly line up with your other bikes. We have different moods and different states of mind, and it’s a privilege to ride different bikes when you want. If you own them, they’re at your disposal to enjoy. There’s nothing wrong with that thought, by the opposite. I applaud it and it’s achievement. After all it is just a manifestation of our pursuit for happiness. “Two BMW’s?”. Why not?

I'm stoked it's different from previous generations, I absolutely hated the fact that the GS was a middle class, pompous twat types bike and that they are hating it. I love the fact that isn't much more sportier, I've ordered one. Just the one question for you though, why would you be using a quick shifter at 40ish mph, the very fact it's called a quick shifter is a bit of a giveaway.

    I went to the triglide a year ago and I was the same way going slow till I got use to it. The more you ride the better you will understand it, the camber will make you feel like your leaning to much the way I do it is slow down in the turn and catch up in straight aways. If one wheel does go up it will cut the fuel off to get it back on the ground. I had to relearn how to ride it but I love it now.
