Timeless beauty: the BMW R 18. An icon that keeps reinventing itself. It combines exclusivity with quintessential coolness. Here, classic design meets uncompromising modernity. Comfortable ergonomics, high-end technology, and a quality finish define its look and your riding experience. Style and function in perfect harmony. When you treat yourself to an R 18, it treats you to the unique experience of a big boxer engine. This is more than just riding a motorcycle. This is: Cruising the BMW Motorrad Style.
No other surface is as closely linked to the custom cruiser scene as chrome is. The new Premium Style “Blacked Out” offers you an attractive, dark chrome finish for your bike, giving it a more dynamic look. The black highlights will meet even the highest standards for individuality and modernity. The style includes many different components in dark chrome – from the exhaust system, to pushrod tubes, right up to the trim panel components with this refined finish.
The R 18 is our puristic cruiser with soul. The fact that this bike is timeless and modern can be seen in the design elements, ergonomics, and equipment. The ergonomic single seat bench allows you to cruise in comfort. With the large, 18” rear wheel, this bike brings both style and dynamism to the streets. Its premium qualities are further enhanced with the Blacked Out surface finish.
Make cruising into an experience: The special form of this single seat bench in a “Dragster Design” with elongated pelvic support at the rear combines a modern aesthetic with a high level of comfort.
BMW is committed to the iconic boxer – out of conviction. The 1802 ccm two-cylinder boxer engine of the R 18 is the boxer with the most displacement that we have ever built. It delivers its maximum torque of 120 lb-ft at 3,000 rpm. At 4,750 rpm, the “Big Boxer” delivers 91 hp.
