I sat on anR18B today in the showroom, I am 6'3, 35" inseam. I felt like it fit me in like a glove, but did not test drive it. My Guzzi California 1100 had odd ergonomics and floorboards but it never bothered me. I just got used to it. I loved the bike too much to care. The R18 is like a Bentley. R18 heel-toe shifter is fully adjustable.
That vibration above 3000 RPMs is what gets me,it's like a giant vibrator. I tried full synthetic oil and that helped a little.Other than that I like the bike it offers a lot of features and I got a really good discount on mine being a demo.
I have 6000 miles on my R18 TC. The seating position is cramped and not comfortable for more than an hour at a time and I’m 5’11”. The connectivity for the nav and music interface on the TFT is unusable. Other than those two issues I find it to be a fine bike. I also have a Road King and Road Glide. The Harleys are more comfortable but do not handle or perform as well as the R18 in their stock configurations.

Actually a quite good review. Thanks, and deserves more comments
Not a fan of the exhaust wrap. Takes away from the beauty of the bike.
Where did you get your back rest
