BMW Motorrad India launched the all-new BMW R 18 Classic in the country. The new BMW R 18 Classic can be ordered as a completely built-up unit (CBU) from Tuesday (February 23) onwards through the BMW Motorrad dealer network.

Following the premiere of the BMW R 18 last year, BMW Motorrad India has now introduced the second member of its new cruiser segment - The R 18 Classic. The all-new BMW R 18 Classic is a nostalgic touring bike that echoes the beginnings of great touring cruiser models.

Vikram Pawah, President, BMW Group India said, "BMW Motorrad made a striking entry into the cruiser segment with the BMW R 18. Building on the success and popularity of BMW's first cruiser in India, we now present the BMW R 18 Classic with a reimagined, even more, iconic character. The eye-catching styling of the BMW R 18 Classic adds to the riding experience and evokes the emotions of a bygone era.While the design calls on the historic roots, the state-of-the-art technology and riding dynamics provide the most authentic, unparalleled experience one can enjoy on two wheels. This motorcycle will have an enormous appeal for motorcyclists who live for unforgettable cruising moments."

In the all-new BMW R 18 Classic, a timeless design is merged with clear-cut yet contemporary technology to create a fascinating overall concept - offering a riding experience that is as cultivated as it is emotional. 

While the R 18 is purist in style, the R 18 Classic features a large windscreen, passenger seat, saddlebags, LED additional headlights and a 16-inch front wheel. It features the largest displacement boxer engine ever built by BMW.

The all-new BMW R 18 Classic 'First Edition' is priced at Rs 24,00,000 (ex-showroom).

The BMW R 18 Classic is BMW Motorrad's interpretation of a cruiser that continues in the brand's tradition and confidently exhibits the style of the times gone by. Its purity of functional and stylish design elements such as the double-cradle frame, the teardrop tank, the exposed driveshaft and the paintwork with finely drawn double pinstripes are reminiscent of the legendary boxer from 1936. The classically designed circular instrument with integrated display is enclosed in a metal housing with a decorative chrome ring. 

The 'BERLIN BUILT' inscription on the face reinforces the bike's origin. The state-of-the-art LED headlights to ensure superior visibility on all roads. The sickle-shaped graphical LED daytime running light further enhances the hallmark BMW Motorrad heritage face. Starting from the steering head, the central frame tube and swingarm top frame tubes visually form a continuous line that functions as a central design feature. In combination with the swingarm down tubes, which are also aligned with the frame down tubes, this gives the R 18 Classic a distinctly flat, elongated and muscular appearance.
