BMW PREVIEWS R 18 ‘CLASSIC’

Following the launch of the R 18 earlier this year, a new variant of BMW’s big, bold and black boxer twin cruiser will be coming in 2021 – the R 18 Classic.

While the name suggests that the Classic increases the retro look of the R 18 even further, it’s not overly different from what’s already been presented. The ‘Blackstorm’ metallic paint and styling is familiar from the R 18 ‘First Edition’ that was unveiled back in April, and to make things more confusing, the Classic is also available in First Edition form, as shown in the images presented here.
