Enter the R 18 Classic. The cruiser with an unmistakeable form is a true head-turner. The style is defined by striking design elements, such as the saddlebags or the long, low-hanging front fender. The big boxer provides a fun ride. It will offer the perfect soundtrack to your ride with its unmistakeable sound. You can also feel its unique punch whenever the mood hits. With quality materials, well-designed ergonomics and high-end technology, this bike masterfully combines the classic and the modern.
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, thereby giving it a more dynamic characteristic 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.
Its classic design language, combined with modern equipment and optimized ergonomics, makes the R 18 Classic a timeless cruiser. The stylish highlights include the front-wheel fender, which powerfully emphasizes the classic design lines, and the aesthetic single seat bench that wins riders over with its incredible seat comfort. With these and other highlights, every mile is an experience in itself.
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 twin-cylinder boxer engine of the R 18 Classic is the boxer with the most displacement 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.
