More a new platform than simply a new cruiser, the BMW R 18 will have a number of variants and limitless options for customisation. With the biggest Boxer engine BMW’s ever built, classic styling and a unique feel, the R 18 is expected to attract riders looking for a European-made premium cruiser – something which didn’t really exist until the R 18. Designed to be easily optioned and modified, the R 18 will have a huge range of seats, handlebars, footpegs, luggage and style options available from launch. With BMW’s reputation for fine-handling motorcycles and top-quality engineering, the new R 18 is expected to perform well, handle better than most cruisers and last for decades.
