I had a chance to spend some time today at my dealer and visited with one of the owners who attended the initial release of the R18 bike in Italy. He told me he really hoped BMW did not change much from the photos that are appearing now on various sites as he felt they had a winner of a model. He felt very strong it is a segment of the market BMW can go after as not just some copy cat model others are putting out in the cruiser line.
Supposedly BMW has one R18 in the US he was hoping they could get to the Minneapolis bike show the first weekend in February. Sort of sad once again BMW corporate is not participating in the Mpls show so the 3 dealers are going to put together a BMW display of various models and hoping they can get the R18 for the weekend.
As a side note BMW, Ducati, Triumph, KTM and one other major supplier are not participating on a corporate level at the Minneapolis show. I remember running across Bruce and Dawn at the show last year and we commented the show was okay but not large like they used to be.
