The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox. Most of that performance is delivered in the lower end, between 2,000-4,000rpm, which should make it fun-to-ride in the city as well as on the highway. It pumps out 91bhp at 4,750rpm and 158Nm at 3,000rpm. Powering the motorcycle is a mammoth 1,800cc, air and oil-cooled, boxer-twin motor which is the largest boxer-twin BMW has ever plonked on a production bike. The wide, pulled-back handlebar, scooped seat, and slightly forward-set footpegs indicate that it is meant to offer comfortable ergonomics. The main design highlight of the R18 is the dual fish tail-like exhausts spiraling out of the burly boxer mill. Sporting a purely vintage styling, the motorcycle incorporates a round headlamp, single pod instrument cluster, peanut-shaped fuel tank, and a chopped rear fender. The design of the R18 takes inspiration from the 1936 BMW R5 cruiser and it looks smashing from every angle.
