Recent news and announcements

The rear suspension of the R 18 models has been a subject of criticism, with many riders finding it less comfortable on less-than-perfect roads compared to the R 18 B and R 18 Transcontinental models. BMW has not changed the rear suspension geometry for the standard R 18, R 18 Classic, and R 18 Roctane. I think addressing this issue could significantly improve the riding experience.
August 24, 2023
BMW has introduced new paint colors for the R 18 series in 2024, including updates like Black Storm Metallic, Manhattan Metallic Matte, and various Option 719 colors. The R 18s design continues to reflect BMWs heritage with its elongated flyline, double-cradle steel frame, and powerful boxer engine. I think the new color options will appeal to those looking for a personalized cruiser.
August 23, 2023
The 2024 BMW R 18 Roctane lacks a fuel gauge, which has been a point of criticism among riders. Despite this, the bike features a multifunction digital display that shows various ride information, but a fuel gauge is notably absent. I believe this omission is a significant oversight for a cruiser designed for long rides.
August 23, 2023
The 2024 BMW R 18 models come with a three-year warranty or up to 36,000 miles, providing riders with peace of mind. This warranty covers all new motorcycles in the R 18 series. I think this extended warranty is a reassuring feature for potential buyers.
August 23, 2023
The 2024 BMW R 18 models have seen some package changes, with features like Cruise Control, Adaptive Headlight, and Headlight Pro being removed from certain packages. Instead, options like the Intelligent Emergency Call and stand-alone Anti-Theft Alarm, Seat Heating, and Central Locking are now available. This shift in package offerings aims to provide more customization options for riders.

It includes Ex-Showroom Price in your city + RTO Charges (Vehicle Registration) + One Time Road Tax + Insurance Charges. The On-Road Price also includes some optional things like if you opt for Genuine Accessories and Extended Warranty while buying a vehicle. Please note that the On-Road Price varies a lot across different states in India due to different percentage for the State Registration Charges.

Absolutely a masterpiece, the BMW R 18 is one of the most impressive bikes on the market. It has an iconic look, and is equipped with modern technology and high performance components. I am confident that trading in my Triumph Speed Twin for the R 18 is a great decision, and I am sure that I will enjoy this bike for years to come.

I've had the pleasure of testing both the first edition and the classic BMW R18, and I have to say the ride quality and handling are noticeably better on the classic than the first edition. The engine is smoother and more refined, and the suspension is noticeably better. As for carrying a pillion, I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but from what I've heard from other owners, the R18 is definitely better for a pillion than the Harley. The ride is much smoother and the seating position is much more comfortable for both rider and passenger.

After 3k miles and being owned since December 2021, you can't help but love this bike. The miles you put on it, the more it will grow on you. The only downside is the seat. It's like sitting on a wooden stool, so it can get a bit uncomfortable after a while. But, overall, it's a great bike.

Even though electric vehicles are becoming more popular, petrol will still be used for many purposes. It can still be used to make plastic, grease, tar/asphalt, fabrics, and chemical compounds. Petrol will also continue to be used in small vehicles such as motorcycles and even in kerosene-powered planes. However, the biggest polluters are ships, buses, trains, trucks, and cars. Therefore, they should be the primary targets of reducing emissions.
