The R18 is unveiled

[darrell]

I like the simple style and clean look of the R18. It will be fun to see the next versions they bring out based on this first iteration. I look back at my first BMW and the one that likely kept me attached to the brand 20 bikes later and really don’t see a lot of difference except lots of technology added to the R18. Would I own one? Not today but one never knows. I remember when I first saw the GS models and thought who would ever buy one of those and now with over 250,000 miles on various GS models I’ve owned, yes I’d buy another GS. So BMW, just maybe, some day, some how in a weak moment on the dealers floor I’ll ride one home and keep it. And the real benefit is I could go riding with my friend Bruce and he could not tell you butterflies run in to the back of my windshield at the speed I ride cause there ain’t no windshield.[attachment=533]
