I currently ride a RE 2021 500 Tribute, and am tempted by this model as well. But Im asking myself, cummon its so similar why bother? Coz it would have to be smoother on the J 350 platform. But then I say 350? really 350 thats a baby. Not to under powered for Melbourne Oz roads? Still cant make up my mind, watcha reckon?

Snortin' Norton

WoW ❤

Love this bike

Zzr600 would be a godd bike for some company to make an electric conversion kit for. Great aerodynamics, comfort, lots of space for batteries. And made over a long period of time so alot of them about

Great bike but for the price hike it basically puts you in V4 territory

I just bought a 2018 classic 500 black and cream. The idiot first owner made it into a (sort 0f), café racer. Now I am changing everything back to stock. As set up it's almost un-ridable. What stupid people do because they think something is cool? Know one rides a café racer more than a few miles from home, you can't, very un-comfortable. That's why it only had 2800 miles on it after 6 years. Stupid stupid, just stupid. And of course he threw out all of the original parts, mirrors, exhaust, muffler etc. Damnnn.

what a beast and what an adventure mate

The Scott was ahead of it's time with liquid cooling. Love seeing these garage stories. Mechanical restorations are my favourite as the bike gets ridden.

If you ride with your toes on the footrests, how can you complain about not reaching the gear lever?

What an adventure, good luck Nathan 😎🤞🏻

Kawasaki triples are also notorious for studs becoming stuck to the barrels.

What an awesome adventure that's going to be

did the same as you with the cb250 except i bought a suzuki titank 500

The passenger seat you had in this video isn't the passenger seat, its the cover of the seat to make it looks prettier

Seems not bad for a commuter. I could live with the slow acceleration and speed, but not the limited range and lengthy recharge time.

hi there , how do you compare it with 1250 RT for long distance touring

You geeked when you didn’t mention the Yamaha FJR1300. Super Sport Touring bike. Reliable beast

They nailed it. It's a beauty. I am proud of BMW'S achievement. Have had It customised to a bobber. 1st edition, all opps. I would never have a cruise control on a big bike. Have had it for over 2 years.

Great review! Love my 2024 GTS Super Sport. It's the kind of bike that forces you to challenge your own preconceptions of what a touring bike is or should be. It never fails to surprise me and always puts a smile on my face. The only "bagger" I'll ever own I reckon. Mine is orange with black trim. :)

Such an honest review and I own the old bike. It's better than the old one , but it's still not there yet.

🙏

The mirrors on my Bullet 350 never come loose.

little bit of fly time mate🍺

I've had a number of road bikes, and can honestly say it's the best bike I've bought. Fully worth it. Completely capable bike in so many ways, I love it. 2024 is fantastic

Floating Bob seat looks really silly when sitting on it (stock is soooo much better). I know devisive, but the fish tails are ugly as hell. That plate arm hanger will be a real worry when filtering. Love your vids guys; really prossional job, but fun and friendly. Would love to see some more content on Sydney motorcycle life and scenery. Thanks!

No mention on how difficult or heavy it is to get upright off the side stand? Or all of you were fine with it?

Cool customization but R18 is a beautiful bike stock as well, plus in commiefornia a loud bike is a boat anchor

Fantastic review guys. Love the interplay between you two but also different views on subject. Certainly made my choice a little easier.

Gosh the seat height of the bobber. I’d really like to know if the end result is up and forward, just up, or up and back. At 6’4” (32” inseam) I’m trying to come up with solutions way ahead of my purchase, and specific information in the forums and from the BMW website is so bloody limited.

We want Android Auto or Carplay. Simple.

ok tried today the Hima while the shotgun the hunter and the interc a while ago. best of them all imo is the interc. the hima does better offroad than on road!!! i tried on a rocky countryside road after going on flat towny road and i immediately felt more grip on the rocky one! it's so strange! i even aimed at the holes on the ground cause i thought i didn't crossed one since i felt nothing while riding for a while. color me surspised simply put the hima doens' let you feel nothing! still the interc is a beeter pure motorcycle for normal use.

Sounds as good as it looks!

The blacked out look is always a favourite of mine. Watching this makes me want one again. A sensational looking machine.

I love mine standard. However I do really like the bobber seat but that side rego plate mount is hideous!🤮

Great review Ross and Tegan. Beautiful looking bike. I agree the licence plate holder looks out of place there. I didn't think much of the heel shifter when I got my R18 but when it's combined with the floorboards, I couldn't imagine not using it.

I run a Homage seat on mine, raised 30mm on urethane bushes for some extra spring..... a very easy on the hips'n knees vintage feeling ride position (like siting at a dining table). A +20mm Wilbers rear shock gives 25mm more suspension travel (115mm) and works wonders. The Rogue pipes are tempting.... but the fishtales are so unique. I'm going to cut them open and modify them at some stage.

Cheers from Munich! Old airheads are the very thing, nuff said.

Looks so good looks mean 💀

The R18 in stock form is just ok looking. It's a decent cruiser offering, but it's perhaps an imperfectly executed copy of an American-style V-twin and falls short in some ways aesthetically. This is highly subjective, I'll grant you. However, that bobber styling and the other upgrades sure dressed the R18 up a significant amount. Aside from that, those reddish brown boots look the part, sir!

Hi bought the blue model and loved it, but the seat and riding position eventually made me part with the bike. Broke my heart

Bring on the R20!!

Not a fan of cruisers, but I do like the look of that seat. It makes you look like you're floating above the bike. That plate holder though. Did the 1st year apprentice install it? It looks like it was cut too short & installed upside down. Switch it around & lengthen it so it covers the rear tyre would be a better look & would help when riding in the rain.

Cool bike/s. The Bobber looks very retro. Cool as F***.

Great looking bike. I agree . Floor boards and heel shifter would be ideal. Keeps those boots nice and shiny.

I love my R18 TC so much I brought it with me from Canada, unfortunately BMW Germany refused to release the software code to allow it to operate the Aussie Spec amber indicator lights from the North American Red turn signals. It sat with a BMW dealer for 6 months where they couldn’t find a solution. I found another dealer who had service tech who is a software guru and he found a solution to make them work. However if it needs an update the system will crash and I will need to take it back the service tech to rewrite the codes. This bike is still under its new bike warranty and this what I have to do, I regret I have spent so much money on this bike but when I ride it I forget about all the drama it has caused me. BMW Australia and BMW Germany are not on the same page and it is incredibly disappointing the a company that prides itself on global adventures on their bikes refused to allow a North American spec bike to be permitted to be compliant to the Australian market. Not to mention that the original dealership sent me a bill for $26,714.86 for holding my bike for 6 months and all i got was the $400 amber indicator lights not even fitted, they tried to charge me the hourly rate for attempting the software attempts and fails. This saga is almost unbelievable if it hadn’t happened to me I wouldn’t believed it. BMW Australia are aware of this but no compensation was offered other than some apologies as they claim my experience is unique. WTF

The license plate holder looks like it is installed incorrectly or just poorly designed. I've never seen one like that, usually it puts the plate behind the tire. I wouldn't like that either.

Hmm.. not necessarily a bad bike, but I would change it quite a bit. The saddle of this bobber is too "suspended" like you're sitting on a broom in a quidditch match, looks unfinished. Second it's the tank, I hate the necesity to stop very often, especially for re-fueling, I would immediately change it to the 24L from Transcontinental - IF POSSIBLE (I heard it's not that simple). And third the handlebar, I prefer something straighter, meaner, street fighter like.. Anyways, I would love to have the chance to customize one to my liking

Man that bobber looks sweet but wow the jugs look like wings with it all trimmed down 😂

I loved the look of this BMW, I would love to have that in my Garage 👍
