Heritage
Some call the bikes retro, vintage or classics. We call them Heritage. A glance at the iconic design and the unmistakable boxer engine shows that it’s about design, handling, minimalist design. It’s a way of life. And if you want to go even further: our Heritage models are the perfect basis for customizing.
The R 18 family
Boasting 1,802 cc, the most powerful boxer engine ever built by BMW Motorrad is an unmissable centerpiece. The double cradle frame, telescopic forks, teardrop-shaped tank or even the double pinstripe lines are iconic design features rooted in our history.

The R 12 family
Legends live longer. The R 12 models bring an unmistakable look to the road with their minimalist design language and unique roadster style. They are powered by a next stage of evolution of the Boxer engine. Otherwise, hardly a screw was left in its thread during development. The backbone designed for customizing with a classic tubular spaceframe has been completely redeveloped. Can you hear the call? Express your inimitability.

BMW R 18 The Wal
Customizer Shinya Kimura created an unmistakable, one-off R 18 and named it The Wal. In his workshop, he combined expert craftsmanship with Japanese aesthetics and the brute force of the 1,802 cc big boxer engine.
