I treated myself to the 2023 BMW R18 100th anniversary edition and I’m blown away by the bike ! Having owned 2 Harley Davidson cruisers over the years the R18 brings an entirely new level of cruising enjoyment. While I also own a K1100RS this is my first boxer, and I could not be more impressed by the smoothness and power. Kudos BMW Motorad 👍

video was more about "the guys" than the bikes---sorry "guys", just show the bikes off, not "how cool are we ", trying to be all hip and trendy ( bunch of posers I'm afraid!). Come on BMW, you don't need these I-wannabe-famous "guys" to promote your newest creation, let the pictures and real bikers do it.

[@tobias_k01]

What a reveal! Thank you for your effort to produce such an old-school product with so much style! Retro models from cars and bikes are always quite difficult and it's really a challenge to do it in point, but with this one you totally nailed it. This bike was a heritage project from the first second and I can clearly see that everyone in this project wanted to go all out with it, and this is what it needs when you do something like that. I think all the money, time and nerves that your team put into it will definitely be rewarded. The R18 is simply beautiful and perfect. Thank you very much!

the soberb old black BMWs are back!! Beautiful concept, engine exposed in large block, tank with 2 white painted stripes. elongated shapes but I think that none of these motorcycles had the same impact as the first one that won a beauty course. Her escape was more compact and beautiful. Handlebars were more robust and detail of the front fork referred to the old bikes. Stately motorcycles, success! now it’s time for the eyes to get used to the new lines.

From a current HD rider I’m thrilled to see this bike. It’s what the community needs, another great bike from a premier brand to throw a leg over and get into the wind, I would like to see and experience more.

[@tomvail9845]

I may be the odd one out. Watched the whole series and really enjoyed it. The insight into the design and access to the whole team plus the after parts folks was great. Seeing it take shape across two continents added something good too. Its not a Harley nor an Indian - its kept close to its routes and the prototype and its stunning. Yes, sure - would have like to see more but photography and lighting gave enough of a tease for me to want to see it in the flesh, whenever the world returns to normal. And now to start thinking of the order. Thanks BMW - "es war tol!"

[@dennism1919]

Nah, I enjoyed it too. In fact I have enjoyed the whole series. Hipsters, yeah - well whatever man! I don't judge. They are riders, so they are OK in my book. And I am sure we will in fact see much more of the bike. Which I happen to like. I can't buy one because I will never fit on it, the rider triangle is all wrong for me - But I like the bike. I was hoping that a tour model would be part of the group. Maybe later on down the road.

[@robbchastain3036]

Nice job, BMW Motorrad, on this new bike and it does harken back to the earlier models. And in '75, when I was an American teen in Frankfurt, I saw a handful of old BMWs in the hands of Americans working over there and it was a big deal to them, a cool deal for them to be able to buy those old bikes economically and have them maintained by local German guys who were into old BMW motorrads. Of course, those bikes would be called classic or vintage today, and rightfully so, but back then, they were just cool old motorcycles. And for me, all these years later, it is a little surreal to see a new BMW look pretty much like an old BMW. Beautiful.

[@bmwmotorrad]

Thank you Robb! Great to hear that. 😊 We attach great importance to authenticity, pure emotion and typical BMW Motorrad DNA from our long history as we enter the cruiser segment.

Congratulations, BMW. You have created something really special. I am anxious to see more! I know some folks are getting impatient but frankly I have enjoyed this series and the whole run-up to the reveal. The bikes themselves are beautiful, all of them. You can clearly see the old and the new in each one. How wonderful that you have been able to take these synergies and integrate them so seamlessly. Well done! I was hoping to see a touring model in the group but perhaps you are saving that one for later. I will be on the lookout for it. My only concern is the rider triangle. I'm a big guy (not fat - just sayin! HA!) with long legs and I am not sure I will fit. Of course, there is only one way to find out. I gotta go see and ride one!

[@bmwmotorrad]

Thanks a lot Dennis for your great words! 😊 We will also pass the feedback on to our designers and engineers. The range of BMW Motorrad Original Accessories includes footboards and additional footrests, while the BMW Motorrad equipment programme has numerous options for adapting the R 18 to individual ergonomic requirements by means of various handlebars and seats. But as you said, it is best to test the bike as soon as it is on the market. 👍🤗

Here is a bike reveal video where the bike is shown less than 5% of the video time. Sorry to say but advertisement tailored to the US market, which is probably the main target (harleys). No way this a German way of presenting a piece of engineering. Shame. Anyway, hope the bike is good.

[@shpstr]

You are right. I was curious, and for example BMW Germany (car division) or Mercedes Benz have a way nicer approach showing off their vehicles... Sure there are other things going on in their videos than just showing the car, but the percentage is probably inverted. 90% car, 10% other stuff.

You can't blame BMW for trying to create more buzz and expand their market segment. BMW was traditionally a bike that appealed to older touring bike riders,....then they created the dual sport categort with the original R80GS,.....and in 2009 they rolled out the S1000RR. Both intended to expand market share. In recent years, virtually all brands have declining sales,......EXCEPT for BMW whose sales have been up year on year. Yes, this is a beautiful take on BMW's roots with modern engineering,......that said,......it is another effort to expand the appeal and saleability of there ever expanding product line up; I personally feel they will finally have a successful offering that will compete with other dominant big cruiser bike manufacturers. BTW, Allen/Alan who showed up a bit later with the door knock is the owner of "Revival" Cycles in Austin, TX who built the second show bike called the "Birdcage" to showcase the new BMW R18 engine. Video showing the build of that bike is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sIDFXnmNYpuJZrc&goal=0_47bab08116-0aaa63be9c-138473865&mc_cid=0aaa63be9c&mc_eid=5ce0245dc3&fbclid=IwAR2wiZ_oQJW3ZDM2i3gN8VJ0XY4X_Rhvhao754WtMDWy-6m7XWvHwEtN3Lk

The Bike is cool. I still want to see a substantial front and rear fender kind of like my '53 R/51/3 had. The fenders that are on it dont look functional. It looks like it's there only for looks. Otherwise the Bike is a jewel in every way. Call me old school, but my 1953 had s special kind of Class about it that not only looked good but was functional also. I never was into apes on any bike, I like a bike that will do what it was designed to do and that's provide the rider with many pleasurable miles, regardless if it's a short trip or a long one. Rain or shine. A trip to the local grocery store or across the state to get into a change of weather. That's my idea of riding a motorcycle. Simplicity and fun. BMW knows how to do that. That is a monster engine on this bike. I doubt if my R/51 had 40 hp, but it was fun to ride every time I got on it! This one has way more than mine, but it should still be fun to ride. I would definitely like to take it for a spin and see what it's made of and maybe even take one home, but mine will have functional, stylish fenders on it. Not any wannabes.
