The R 18 also gets some unique touches for the 100 Year Edition. The fuel tank is painted in black and chrome with a single white stripe. The intake and the cylinder head covers are milled and the fork tubes and air intake have been blacked out. It also gets tank grips and pin stripes on the front fender. The adjustable levers, bar end mirrors, and two-tone rider seat remain unchanged from the standard model. BMW is also offering some optional accessories such as heated grips, cruise control, and an alarm system for added safety and convenience.All in all, the BMW R 18 and R nineT 100 Year Edition are sure to be collector's items and will bring a lot of pride to their owners. With only 1923 units being made available, it's sure to be a sought-after item. The bikes are slated for launch in 2023 and will be available worldwide.

The Roctane name could be an indication that BMW is planning a new range of motorcycles. The Roctane name is unique and its purpose is still a mystery. It could be a hint that BMW plans to launch a new range of off-road motorcycles. Perhaps the Roctane name could be used for an adventure tourer or even an off-roading machine. Another possibility is that it could be used for a new range of performance-oriented motorcycles. It is still unclear what the Roctane name will be used for, but it will be interesting to see what BMW has in store.

The BMW R 18 Classic for 2024 retains its touring comfort features, including a large, fixed windscreen and double-buckle soft saddlebags. It is powered by the 1,802cc boxer twin engine, delivering 91 hp and up to 100 lb-ft of torque. The bike also comes with a six-speed transmission and a hydraulically actuated dry clutch. I think the practicality and comfort of this model make it a strong contender in the heavyweight cruiser market.

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.

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.

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.
Wednesday, 23 August 2023 07:12 PM
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.

BMW Motorrad continues to solidify its position in the heavyweight cruiser market with the R 18 series, despite slower sales in the U.S. compared to other regions like China and Europe. The company remains optimistic about the long-term success of the R 18 models. I believe their persistence and continuous improvements will eventually pay off in the U.S. market.

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.

The R 18 series, including the R 18 Roctane, continues to draw inspiration from BMWs historical models, such as the 1936 R 5. The design and engine of the R 18 reflect this heritage, combining classic elements with modern technology. I think this blend of old and new is part of the R 18s charm.

BMW Motorrad USA has announced the 2024 model year updates, which include new colors and Option 719 packages for the R 18 series. Additionally, the Intelligent Emergency Call feature is now available as standard or as an option for various R 18 models. This feature adds a covered SOS button, loudspeaker, and microphone to the right-side handlebar controls. I believe this safety feature is a significant enhancement for riders.

The 2024 BMW R 18 Roctane has been introduced as the newest member of the R 18 family, described as a cruiser, a bagger, and everything in between. It features a 21-inch front wheel and is powered by the 1802cc Big Boxer engine. The Roctane also includes an instrument cluster integrated into the metal headlight nacelle with a classic analog speedometer and a multifunction digital display. I think this blend of classic and modern elements makes it an attractive option for cruiser enthusiasts.

BMW R18 Discussion
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.
