Few things satisfy the soul as much as the BMW R 18 and its pure heritage; where classics become unique masterpieces, where every kilometre gives rise to feelings of nostalgia, and where every ride feels like your first.
The new R 18 invokes the BMW history and the iconic hallmarks of their brand by way of a cruiser that is full of character boasting a boxer engine with the most displacement that we have ever built as well as timeless design features.
The A2 variant
The R 18 is also available in an A2-compliant variant with 35 kW (48 PS). This variant can be throttled, meaning your machine supports you when you hold your A2 driver’s license. You can enjoy the intuitive handling of the R 18 from the very beginning.
Design Configuration
The R 18 in the Olivine model variant comes with an exclusive, high-quality Option 719 package. This package includes the weatherproof seat with diamond-shaped stitching, and fine forged wheels. And of course, there are other ways to further customise this special look and create your dream bike.
Data and Equipment
The R18 combines many iconic hallmarks of our history such as the open drive shaft. BMW have worked these characteristic features over and brought them into the present. Learn all about the technical data and standard equipment here.
