While BMW is probably best known for its high-end automobiles, the German-based manufacturer has also applied its innovative technical prowess to motorcycles as well. With the restrictions from the pandemic almost completely gone and life returning to a relative state of normalcy, the open road is calling. Today, we’ll be examining one of the vehicles in BMWs fleet that is just waiting to be taken out on the highway. The 2022 BMW R 18 is affordable, dependable, and another chapter in the ever-growing legacy of high-performance engineering that BMW is known for. 




Performance & Design 


Sleek, stylish, and aesthetically pleasing to the eye, the R 18 bears a resemblance to the bikes of yesteryear. A jet-black fuselage with chrome and rubber catches the eye and elevates the R 18 on high. While it’s important to never judge a book by its cover, BMWs hottest new export is a near-perfect 10 in both its outward appearance and its engineering. 


A 2-cylinder boxer engine propels the R 18 forward, and while the size of this engine might be diminutive, we assure you that its heart is mighty and powerful. Boasting 91 ponies of horsepower and the ability to generate 116 lb.-ft of torque, the R 18 takes performance to a bold new level. A three-way catalytic converter limits the harmful emissions that are often associated with high octane speeds. Speaking of, the R 18 possesses a blistering top speed of well over 111 MPH. That means that you’ll have the ability to be across the finish line first, and have all eyes upon you. 


The technology doesn’t end at the engine, an onboard computer and ASC (Automatic Stability Control) means that while the road ahead may be unpredictable, you’ll have reliability that can easily whether the weather, no matter what shape or form it might take. 


Affordable and Cost-Effective 


While many might assume that anything with the BMW logo comes with a heavy price tag, a starting MSRP of $15,995 is reasonable and affordable. And when it comes to protection and peace of mind, you’ll be covered on that front as well. All-new R 18s are covered by a 3 year/36,000-mile warranty. Now that’s performance and peace of mind that you can count on.
