THE BMW R 18 CLASSIC

ICONIC. NOSTALGIC. SOULFUEL

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