The BMW R 18 is a cruiser motorcycle that started development in 2015 and was launched in September 2020 in Germany.

The R 18 missed an official launch at the BMW dealers due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so it was virtually presented over the internet. BMW had a first attempt to join the segment of heavy cruisers with the BMW R 1200C, which eventually led to the BMW R 18.

The R 18 is powered by e newly developed air and oil-cooled engine that is the largest two-cylinder boxer ever made for motorcycles by BMW. The R 18 engine has a capacity of 1,802cc and 90 hp (67 kW). The maximum speed that can be reached is a little over 179 kph (111 mph). It has an exposed prop shaft, and spoke wheels, and is scaled back to its core to be fully customized by the riders. Unlike the models that are equipped with carburetors, the BMW R 18 has digital engine management, an electronic fuel injection system, and electric throttle control.

It is equipped with a full-led headlight, and an automatic stability control system, but it also has three riding modes. Overall, the BMW R 18 is a cruiser with a lot of character, plus timeless design features, and could become a true rival for Harley-Davidson's legendary cruisers.
