RE: The new R18 revealed - 4

So here's the competition, or rather what the R18 is attempting to compete against: the Harley-Davidson Breakout:
Here's my favorite cruiser styling (more of a factory bobber): The Indian Scout:



BTW: as far as cruisers go, I do prefer the R18 over the R1200C. I've had the privilege of meeting designer of the R1200C, David Robb. Had dinner with him at a new model introduction media event, back in the '90s. Highly intelligent guy. But his designs never really appealed to me.

I went through a Harley phase during the '90s. Held a credential for product evaluations throughout the decade. Still maintain an affection for "The Motor Company". But these days, where it concerns purchasing personal motorcycles— I continue to choose BMW. Just not the R18.

Early in the day, I stand 6'-1" tall. Seated on the new Indian Scout, the top of my thighs and knees are above the tank. A very strange riding position. Especially, if trying to maneuver on twisty roads.
