BMW Concept R18 Highlights

The new BMW Concept R18 motorcycle imagines what a classic ’60s boxer engine would look like today as a purist custom bike. The Concept R18 carries classic BMW Motorrad essentials: a boxer engine, cradle frame, exposed universal shaft, and drop-shaped fuel tank, all of which combine to create something timeless and beautiful. Concept R18 designer Bart Janssen Groesbeek explains, “The biggest challenge in the design is to render everything visible. Every part has a functional purpose. There are not many who would dare to take such an absolutely honest approach.”
