2024 BMW R18B: RAW POWER – PURE SOUL.

Introducing the 2024 BMW R18B…

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.

As a traditional bagger motorcycle, the R 18 B makes a clear statement with its Big Boxer.
