The BMW R 18 Classic presents itself as the second expansion stage of the magnificent boxer cruiser and offers a well-equipped all-round package. The Classic-specific equipment elevates the comfort and practicality of the R 18 without detracting from the charm of this mechanical motorbike. A great coup from BMW in more ways than one!
