BMW Cruiser

I know Django has one of these, and I'm sure another member had (or has) one. I got up close and personal with this one over the recent weekend and it made me realise what a beast it is. The engine and the pipes are huge.

I saw it a few times when vacationing in Portugal, it's COLOSAL!!

I sat on one of these at a bike shop. I like the look of them a lot and I really like that the driveshaft and ujoints are "exposed"

Cormanus, did you test ride it?

Coincidence- was waiting for confirmation of a pickup this morning. There’s a BMW dealer a mile from the hospital in Long Beach so I spent my waiting time in the showroom. Sat on the R18. Yeah, that is a huge beast.

:rofl: I tried, but the owner, while leaving me a helmet, forgot to leave the key.

I am pretty sure my 1960 Anglia was smaller.  :biker:

Thats a sophisticated new bike. I’m surprised you couldn’t just start it with an app!

Guys, Django will run you over....
If not mistaken, he rode his bike from Germany to Sardinia, Italy and back, no problems...

I reckon it's a sensational looking bike and is probably a wonderful thing to ride on long road trips. I was just struck by how large it was. The engine and exhaust pipes especially.
