The BMW R 18 Classic
A statement with character
Enter the R 18 Classic. The cruiser with an unmistakeable form is a true head-turner. The style is defined by striking design elements, such as the saddlebags or the long, low-hanging front fender. The big boxer ensures a fun ride. It will provide the perfect soundtrack to your tours with its unmistakeable sound. You can also feel its unique punch whenever the mood takes you. With quality materials, well-designed ergonomics and high-class technology, this bike masterfully combines the classic and the modern.
Classic cruiser with modern highlights
Its classic design language, combined with modern equipment and optimised ergonomics, makes the R 18 Classic a timeless cruiser. The stylish highlights include the front-wheel mudguard, which powerfully emphasises the classic design lines, and the aesthetic single seat bench that wins riders over with its incredible seat comfort. With these and other highlights, every mile is an experience in itself.
