BMW Motorrad have announced a new variant in their R 18 heritage cruiser family, with the ‘Roctane’ revealed in May and due for Australian release later this year.
Adding larger wheels, special paint options, blackout detailing and hard panniers as standard, the R 18 Roctane is essentially a factory bagger, pitched against the likes of Harley-Davidson’s Road King Special. The fifth variant of BMW’s big cruiser family, the Roctane will join the R 18, R 18 Classic, R 18 B and R 18 Transcontinental.
