2023 BMW R - 18 Classic

ICONIC. NOSTALGIC. SOULFUEL

ICONIC. NOSTALGIC. SOULFUEL

The R 18 Classic is a modern cruiser with a nostalgic sense of BMW design. It reminds one of the first BMW cruisers suitable for touring. It also invokes timeless marks of our motorcycle history, such as with the white double pinstripe found on the R 18 Classic First Edition. The heart of the machine is obviously the boxer engine with the most displacement we have ever built. It is designed for relaxing tours and pure enjoyment.

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 Classic. Its double-cradle steel frame envelopes the enormous sculptured boxer engine that turns every mile into an experience.
