The BMW R 18
The R 18 invokes our history and the iconic hallmarks of our brand which we have worked very hard on. A legacy that we live by every day in the spirit of #SoulFuel. The result: a cruiser full of character featuring a boxer engine with the highest cubic capacity we have ever built, plus timeless design features.

The design of the R 18
Your style counts
The R 18 is now available in a range of new paint colors. The choice is yours.
A cruiser at first glance.
The flyline is elongated and low. The double-cradle steel frame covers the powerful, sculpted engine that underlines the impressive presence of the bike. Riders also have a number of custom equipment options: the R 18 is scaled back to its core to allow for full customization.

Our Option 719 opens up a host of opportunities to lend the R 18 a personal touch. The Option 719 Bicolor Icon cast wheel completes the bike’s high-grade look. The Option 719 seat made of black artificial leather with diamond embossing and seams as well as embroidered BMW badge makes the ride even more stylish and comfortable.
Experience the sound of the R 18
We have counted on the boxer since 1923 with conviction. The 1,802 cc two-cylinder boxer engine of the R 18 is the highest displacement boxer that BMW has ever built. It delivers a maximum torque of 116 lbs-ft at 3,000 rpm. At 4,750 rpm, the Big Boxer delivers 91 hp combining its core tradition with modern technology for pure emotion on the road.
