THE BMW R 18 B

RAW POWER – PURE SOUL

The R 18 B brings together full Boxer power with BMW Motorrad touring history and the emotional character of the R 18 family. The large front end featuring a fork-mounted fairing and low windscreen demonstrate a strong character. The 1802 cc of the black Big Boxer leaves no room for speculation. Still, it’s not all about displacement. The R 18 B goes significantly further. It’s made for customizing. Turn it into your unique bike and bring out the #SoulFuel. 

THE DESIGN OF THE R 18 B. Unmistakable Bagger Motorcycle.

The dropping fly line runs from the tall, striking front fairing to the teardrop-shaped 6.3 gallon tank and the stretched seat to the rear end featuring integrated side cases and tail lights. Typical for BMW Motorrad: consistent and straight-forward design. Typical for a bagger motorcycle: characteristic streamlining. Here are the COLOR choices:

• Racing Blue Metallic — The Racing Blue Metallic/Black Storm Metallic paint lends the R 18 an elegant look.
• Black Storm Metallic — The purist Black Storm Metallic paint underlines the look of the R 18 B.
• Option 719 Pearl Black — The Black Storm Metallic 2 paint with red lines make the R 18 B a real head-turner.
• Manhattan Metallic Matte — The modern paint lends the R 18 B a confident appearance.

Make yours unique

You know exactly what you want. For this reason, the R 18 B has been completely geared towards customization. This applies both to the design as well as to the range of Original BMW Motorrad Accessories and equipment. The elaborate “Machined” and “2-Tone-Black” collections developed in cooperation with Roland Sands Design, the traditional “Option 719” and the Vance & Hines exhaust systems are merely the starting point on the way to an R 18 B that suits your taste. Ask your Sales Advisor at Bob's to show you all the options.

Discover the HIGHLIGHTS

The R 18 B offers everything you would expect from a contemporary bagger, from traditional elements to modern motorcycling technology. And much more!

• Active Cruise Control — With the available ACC, your bike maintains your desired speed, via a radar sensor, and distance from the vehicle in front of you.
• Cases — The integrated side cases provide a capacity of over 7 gallons each. Their stylish shape has been integrated into the R 18 B’s streamlined outline: for an unmistakable bagger look. The perfectly coordinated liners made of a sophisticated leather and canvas material mix are available as part of the accessories range. 
• Cockpit — Four traditional, analog round instruments are included together with a modern 10.25” TFT display: from fuel level indicator to map navigation, you have all the information available at a glance.
• Power Reserve — See what you can feel: the traditional, round instrument illustrates the power reserves you haven’t used yet.
• TFT Display — The 10.25” TFT color display offers you a range of legible information and maximum functionality.
• Marshall Gold Series — Available gray cover grilles and golden Marshall lettering: these are the elements that conceal the refined sound quality from a total of four speakers powered by a 180 watt amp.
• Boxer Engine — We build it with conviction and plenty of passion. Power, endurance, reliability – simply put: a very special boxer experience. 
• Front Fairing — First impressions count. And this one is impressive. The front fairing installed on the handlebars provides you with ideal protection from the elements and represents a visual highlight with a high recognition value.

1802 cc – but no space for hot air.

There has never been this much displacement on a BMW. You can see it, hear it and feel it. Rely on over 111 lb-ft at any time between 2,000 to 4,000 rpm for powerful indulgence and a consistently high torque developed in a typical boxer way. At 4,750 rpm the mighty powertrain generates 91 hp. The exposed, nickel-plated cardan shaft is based on a traditional design, representing one of many more highlights of these 1802 cc.  

Rock ‘n’ Roll ‘n’ Rain

The R 18 B’s three Ride Modes offer you riding pleasure as standard, supplemented by available Automatic Stability Control (ASC) and dynamic engine brake control (MSR). Available Reverse Assist and Hill Start Control make hill starts easier and add even more convenience. Plus the traditional headlight shape features cutting-edge LED lighting technology. The adaptive headlight is optionally available to provide you with almost complete illumination of the road when cornering while maintaining the high-beam headlight at a constant headlight range.
