I have a question.
If a 1997 BMW R1100RT has 91 Horse Power, how does a 2020 R18 have just 89.84 Horse Power ?
I also have a confession and that's that I really like the R18. It's horrible to ride, totally misguided and way over priced but I have to admire BMW for actually making it.
As a chassis to hang fairings, top cases and panniers on I think it's ideal but for a stand alone bike it's terrible.
You already know. Part of it by design, part of it Greta's fault.
My 2017 900cc Bonneville makes less power than my 2009 865cc Bonneville.
A 2016 1250cc V-Rod only makes about the same power as my 2006 1130cc V-Rod did.
Part of why removing the environmental stuff and stage 1 kits are popular mods on both those models.
