Re: BMW ,R18 ,2 NEW MODELS
R18 Trans.... is that a bike that thinks it's a medium-sized van? I wouldn't be surprised judging by the size if it.
Like the look of it, but those prices are crazy. Crazily high, that is - at least in my opinion.

The exhaust note will be 'kartoffel, kartoffel'.
Harley faces considerable tariffs in importing to the EU, so it sort of makes sense for a European manufacturer to make a 'Harley'.
Year and years ago when I worked at Three Cross Motorcycles, I recall we lent a demo of (I think) a Guzzi California or a V1000 to Superbike magazine....the test was mostly the usual guff of the time, but concluded "this would be the bike that Harley owners would buy if they didn't have their ass where their brain should be."
Which was actually true.
