Finally, after months of anticipation and excitement, the R 18 had its world premiere on 3 April. The coronavirus situation meant that the launch was communicated via the brand’s social media channels, so fans tuned in from right across the globe from the comfort of their own homes to see the new big boxer unveiled.

We hear from two very special guests in this latest episode of Ride and Talk, both of whom have been lucky enough to ride the new R 18 before it was launched. ‘A Bavarian Soul Story’ host Tommy Kerns and BMW Motorrad’s Marketing and Communication Project Lead for the R 18 Nathalie Gessler tell us exactly what it’s like to get that 1800cc motor running and head out on the highway. Enjoy!
