Bmw r18
I'm not a fan of cruisers so I'm already biased. I don't like heavy bikes either and this one weighs 761 lbs.
Having said that, let's look at the plus points... ...nope, it's just ugly. Is that a seamed exhaust? My 1971 Yamaha R5 had a seamed exhaust but they changed it to seamless the next model year. I don't think I've seen one since. https://www.rideapart.com/articles/4...-18-unveiling/ $17500 in the US, so I'm guessing £16k ish in the UK? Nope, googled it £19k.

Re: Bmw r18
To save time 9 min in before you get a good view of a damn ugly bike. Why? HD are up the creek without a paddle and now BMW try to surpass them in the non functional ugly stakes

Re: Bmw r18
I find BMW one of the most uninspiring bike brands. If you're genuinely going to go adventure riding I wouldn't mind using one of their bikes, but otherwise they'll just churn out stuff for any trend and sell it. Don't get me wrong, functionally this will be more dependable and smoother than a Harley...but that's half the fun.
