The R18 is powered by 1802cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 89.84 bhp and a torque of 158 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, BMW R18 comes up with anti-locking braking system. This R18 bike weighs 345 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 16 liters.
After showcasing the R18 in different concept forms multiple times before, BMW Motorrad has finally unveiled the production model of the motorcycle. Featuring the largest powerplant on a production BMW yet, the R18 is currently the only cruiser in the bike maker’s portfolio.
The design of the R18 takes inspiration from the 1936 BMW R5 cruiser and it looks smashing from every angle. Sporting a purely vintage styling, the motorcycle incorporates a round headlamp, single pod instrument cluster, peanut-shaped fuel tank and a chopped rear fender. The main design highlight of the R18 are the dual fish tail-like exhausts spiraling out of the burly boxer mill. The wide, pulled-back handlebar, scooped seat and slightly forward-set footpegs indicate that it is meant to offer comfortable ergonomics.
