BMW R 18 Classic

ICONIC. NOSTALGIC. SOULFUEL

The R 18 Classic is a modern cruiser with a nostalgic sense of BMW design. It reminds one of the beginnings, of the first cruisers suitable for touring. It also invokes timeless marks of our motorcycle history. The heart of the machine is obviously the boxer with the most displacement we have ever built. It stands for relaxing tours and pure enjoyment.

The first step is the easiest – the A2 variant of the R 18 Classic

The R 18 Classic is also available in an A2-compliant variant with 95 HP. 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 Classic from the very beginning.

THE HIGHLIGHTS AT A GLANCE

The drop-shaped tank is an icon from our history and emphasises – as does the elongated end silencer – the typical streamlined flyline of the R 18 Classic. Its double cradle steel frame envelopes the enormous sculptured engine that turns every mile into an experience.

Seat with passenger seat

The seat bench consists of two individual seats. You decide whether to start with a passenger seat or not.

Boxer with push rod

Built with conviction, for over 95 years: The R stands for boxer.

LED additional headlights

Footboards

These ensure relaxed and comfortable handling, as the overall appearance of the bike already suggests.

The large windshield protects the rider from the wind and weather.

Historic bonds, newly interpreted and implemented with quality.
