What makes the BMW R18 so unique?

Let’s take a look at some features that makes this beautiful creation a must-have.

The “Big Boxer”: The newly developed 2-cylinder boxer engine is the most powerful BMW engine that exists. Referred to as the “Big Boxer,” its appearance and technology shows an improvement on the traditional boxer engines, having abundant torque. The pulling power incorporates a complete resonant sound that gives an inspiring riding experience.
The Vehicle Control Ergonomics: The new BMW R18 design provides you with a relaxed riding positioning to enable optimal vehicle control. The footrests are in a laid-back position, placed behind the cylinders for active and relaxed riding.
Conversion-friendly design: BMW decided to spend much time and resources on the styling of this bike. They designed the motorcycle in such a way that you can easily create your type of bike. It is designed with a rear frame that is detachable without stress. Also, with parts that can be separated. The hydraulic lines of the brake were made with carefully thought attachment points. The handlebars, wheel options, mirrors, seats, and engine covers are designed to enable swapping with minimal force.
