BMW Motorrad first entered the cruiser market in 2020 with the R 18, followed quickly by the nostalgic R 18 Classic. In 2021, the company launched the R 18 Transcontinental and the R 18 B, designed for long-distance touring and sleek highway cruising.
The custom-inspired R 18 Roctane joined the family in 2023. Now, for 2025, BMW has updated all five R 18 models with new design elements, extra comfort, and improved technology.
