BMW R 18 Classic
The BMW R 18 Classic, rooted in classic design, unmistakably pays tribute to the 1930s BMW R5 motorcycle. It inherits timeless features such as the teardrop fuel tank shape, smooth exhaust pipes, steel double-loop tube frame and exposed driveshaft. The 1802cc horizontally opposed, twin-cylinder four-stroke engine delivers a maximum output of 67kW (91hp), and peak torque of158 Nm. It is the perfect touring bike for nostalgic riders. The R 18 Classic is inspired by the early days of touring cruisers. The bike also has timeless elements from our motorcycle’s history. It is obvious that the heart of this machine is the Boxer, the largest displacement motorcycle we’ve ever produced. The machine is all about pure pleasure and relaxation. The drop-shaped tank, as well as the end silencers that are elongated and rounded off the R 18 Classic’s typical flyline. The double-cradle frame encloses an enormous, sculptured engine. Every kilometre is a unique experience. Early, high torque is essential for the cruiser’s torque. The 1802ccm boxer engine in the R 18 Classic has the largest displacement ever. The engine is a visual, audible, and tactile experience: it delivers 158 Nm of torque at 3.000 rpm. It delivers over 150 Nm from 2.000 min-1 to 4.000, a high-torque engine with typical boxer characteristics. The Big Boxer produces 91hp at 4.750 m/s. The Kit:
