2024 BMW R 18 Classic Manhattan Metallic Matte

ICONIC. NOSTALGIC. SOULFUEL.

The R 18 Classic is a modern cruiser with a nostalgic sense of BMW design. It reminds one of the first BMW cruisers suitable for touring. It also invokes timeless marks of our motorcycle history. The heart of the machine is obviously the boxer engine with the most displacement we have ever built. It is designed for relaxing tours and pure enjoyment. Consistently developed history – simply put: #SoulFuel.

  • The drop-shaped tank and elongated exhaust are icons from our history and emphasize the traditional BMW design of the R 18 Classic. Its double cradle steel frame envelopes the enormous sculptured boxer engine that turns every mile into an experience.

Features may include:

  • Seat with passenger seat

The seat bench consists of two individual seats.

  • Boxer with pushrods

Built with conviction, for over 95 years: The R stands for boxer.

  • LED additional lights

Typical nostalgic touring bike: two auxiliary lights.

  • Footboards

These provide a relaxed and comfortable ride, as the overall appearance of the bike already suggests.

  • Windshield

The large windshield protects the rider from the wind and weather.

  • Round exhaust pipe, open driveshaft, double cradle frame

Historic influence, newly interpreted for today.

  • Black tank and bolted logo.

The black tank is one of the icons of BMW Motorrad history..

  • Saddlebags

The soft bags have 4.1 gallons of space for things you might need on a trip.
