2023 BMW R - 18 B

ICONIC. NOSTALGIC. SOULFUEL

ICONIC. NOSTALGIC. SOULFUEL

The R 18 B brings together full Boxer power with BMW Motorrad touring history and the emotional character of the R 18 family. The large front end featuring a fork-mounted fairing and low windscreen demonstrate a strong character. The 1802 cc of the black Big Boxer leaves no room for speculation. Still, it's not all about displacement. The R 18 B goes significantly further. It's made for customizing. Turn it into your unique bike and bring out the #SoulFuel.

THE HIGHLIGHTS AT A GLANCE

The drop-shaped tank and elongated exhaust are icons from our history and emphasize the traditional BMW design of the R 18. Its double-cradle steel frame envelopes the enormous sculptured boxer engine that turns every mile into an experience.

FEATURES MAY INCLUDE:

BLACK TANK WITH DOUBLE LINING AND BOLTED LOGO:
The black tank with available double striping is one of the icons of BMW Motorrad history.

CASES:
The integrated side cases provide a capacity of over 7 gallons each. Their stylish shape has been integrated into the R 18 B's streamlined outline: for an unmistakable bagger look. The perfectly coordinated liners made of a sophisticated leather and canvas material mix are available as part of the accessories range.

COCKPIT:
Four traditional, analog round instruments are included together with a modern 10.25" TFT display: from fuel level indicator to map navigation, you have all the information available at a glance.

Power Reserve:
See what you can feel: the traditional, round instrument illustrates the power reserves you haven't used yet.

TFT DISPLAY:
The 10.25" TFT color display offers you a range of legible information and maximum functionality.

MARSHALL GOLD SERIES:
Available gray cover grilles and golden Marshall lettering: these are the elements that conceal the refined sound quality from a total of four speakers powered by a 180 watt amp.

BOXER ENGINE:
We build it with conviction and plenty of passion. Power, endurance, reliability - simply put: a very special boxer experience.

FRONT FAIRING:
First impressions count. And this one is impressive. The front fairing installed on the handlebars provides you with ideal protection from the elements and represents a visual highlight with a high recognition value.

COMFORT AND SAFETY:
The R 18 B's three Ride Modes offer you riding pleasure as standard, supplemented by Automatic Stability Control (ASC) and dynamic engine brake control (MSR). Available Reverse Assist and Hill Start Control make hill starts easier and add even more convenience. Plus the traditional headlight shape features cutting-edge LED lighting technology. The adaptive headlight is optionally available to provide you with almost complete illumination of the road when cornering while maintaining the high-beam headlight at a constant headlight range.

COLOR OPTIONS:
• Option 719 Galaxy Dust Metallic / Titan Silver 2 Metallic
• Manhattan Metallic Matte
• Black Storm Metallic
