Features

COLOR: BLACK. PRESENCE: BOLD: 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.
A PURISTIC CRUISER WITH A WEALTH OF HIGHLIGHTS: 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.
AESTHETIC: THE SEAT: The single seat bench with a modern and aesthetic design, which offers excellent comfort.
ICONIC: THE HEADLIGHT: You can maintain visibility with the optional Headlight Pro.
SOUND & DESIGN: THE EXHAUST SYSTEM: Style-defining element: The exhaust system in Blacked Out dark chrome.
ICONIC: BOXER WITH PUSHROD TUBES: Even the pushrod tubes will turn heads with the high-class Blacked Out finish.
IMPRESSIVE: THE 18” REAR WHEEL: The 18” rear wheel provides a dynamic aesthetic. The size of the wheel means that the chassis is slightly elevated, giving you a bit more freedom in your lean angles.
HEAD-TURNER: OPEN CARDAN SHAFT AND DOUBLE-CRADLE FRAME: The open, nickel-plated Cardan shaft puts the focus on the torque.
THE “ROUGH LOOK”: The modern design is emphasized by the “Rough Look” styling. For example, the fixed fork tubes are exposed, without the conventional fork tubes.
EXCLUSIVE: THE R 18 BADGE: The exclusive R 18 Badge shows how special this bike truly is.
PLENTY OF ROOM: 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.
PURE EMOTION ON THE ROAD: 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.
