The BMW R 18 Classic

Iconic. Nostalgic. Soulfuel

The 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 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.

The design of the R 18 Classic

A cruiser inspired by icons

Streamlined silhouette, high-quality details: The R 18 Classic attracts all eyes to it.

    To the configurator

    Option 719 Mineral white metallic

    Very vintage: give your bike a nostalgic yet modern look with this elegant paintwork colour variant.

    R 18 Classic

    The pure Black storm metallic emphasises the elongated cruiser silhouette of the bike.

    Manhattan metallic matt

    Nürburg Silver, polished aluminium and high-gloss chrome form striking contrasting elements to the dark paintwork and the bike's dark seat.

    The highlights at a glance

    The drop-shaped tank is an icon from our history and emphasises – as does the elongated end silencer – the typical streamlined flyline of the R 18 Classic. Its double cradle steel frame envelopes the enormous sculptured engine that turns every kilometre into an experience.
