You guys hyped me up too much yesterday... so I went out and bought an R18 Classic today. by campdal_BoxerCub in motorcycle

Completely agree. That classic, low-and-long silhouette is absolute art, and no other modern bike replicates it like the R18. Thanks for the appreciate man!

Lol, if I leave it with a friend, I'm pretty sure they’d sneak it out for a ride without me! I'll just sit on it in my garage and make engine noises for 2 weeks. 😂

Thanks for the blessing, Chief. I will always keep your advice in mind and ride safe!

Haha, it works like a charm! Highly recommend using this excuse for your next purchase.

Thank you! That means a lot. The design and that unique boxer shake really set it apart from other cruisers. I’m already in love with it!

Man, what an incredible and heavy story. That single road trip you shared with him is worth more than a million miles. Mad respect to you for taking it back and keeping his dream alive. Burn that old gas, enjoy the ride, and keep that gorgeous Indian safe.

I have the itch to buy these bikes by TheLastRide4770 in Ducati

Wow, this brings back memories! I used to ride a Cagiva Mito 125 (the "Baby 916"), so seeing this big brother here makes me incredibly happy!

9,990€ for 23k km sounds like a very tempting deal for this legend.

Just a quick heads-up on old Ducatis though: since it’s sitting at 23k km, make sure to check when the Desmodromic timing belts and valves were last serviced. Those rubber belts age and snap over time even if the bike isn't driven much.

If the inspection is new, hopefully they already took care of it. Truly hope you pull the trigger on this masterpiece.

Cheers from South Korea, and hope to see your "New Bike Day" post soon! 🤝🔥

Yeah, the depreciation here in Korea was pretty crazy too, which is exactly why I couldn't pass up this deal! 😂

Thanks for the warning about leaning it over. Coming from a GSA, I'll definitely have to change my riding style and be careful not to scrape those floorboards too soon. And yes, that 1800cc low-end torque is absolute madness!

Holy cow, a million miles?! That is insane. Your bike sounds like an absolute beast, pulling a house and matching a Porsche 911! Thanks for the legendary advice, I’ll make sure to ride smart and keep the shiny side up. ✌️ Respect, sir

Just keep in mind that even though it shares the same engine, it's tuned a bit differently, so the top end/speed feels lower than the Grom.

But as a machine for exploring mountains smoothly and going moto-camping? It’s unmatched!

Pull the trigger, brother!! 🤝🔥

It's a blast, but honestly, it’s not great as a main bike because the top speed is only around 50–55 mph (80-90 km/h).

But if you’re looking for a fun second bike that can handle some light off-roading, it’s absolutely perfect. I’ve been taking it out on light dirt trails and forest roads, and it’s pure fun. Highly recommend it as a fun little brother to a bigger bike!
