The Truth about this motorcycle... BMW R18 B Review. Can this German Motorcycle be THE New Grand American Touring Bike? The BMW R18B is a powerful and stylish cruiser motorcycle that delivers an impressive riding experience. At the heart of this machine is a massive 1802cc boxer engine that produces an awe-inspiring 91 horsepower and 116 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a smooth-shifting 6-speed transmission that provides excellent power delivery and responsiveness. The R18B is also equipped with advanced technologies, such as ABS and traction control.
In terms of design, the BMW R18B is a masterpiece. It boasts a classic cruiser silhouette that is accentuated by beautiful chrome detailing, a low-slung seat, and an elongated fuel tank. Overall, the BMW R18B is an excellent choice for riders who value both performance and style, and who want to experience the thrill of cruising on a classic motorcycle.

Do you use your passenger pegs to rest your feet?
@vintagetrk
@vintagetrk Год назад
Only on my sport bike did I ever do that. I love my 2019 Harley Street Glide that I've pretty much converted to an Ultra Classic with upgrades. First thing I did to my Street Glide when I got it home was Delete the Heel Toe Shifter. I absolutely cant stand heel toe shifters. I dig the display but if it aint touch screen I dont want it. Been considering going from the Street Glide to a BMW 1600 touring bike. But it they dont have a touch screen display on their premier touring bike I'm not sure I wanna go that direction.

I'll sit on the pillion and/or stand on the passenger pegs on my FXBBS. The rider pegs are so far forward, with the bend of the bars if I stand my hips are on my grips.

On occasion, I'll stand up straight on my floorboards while riding. Otherwise, I don't mind the neutral riding position. I have the TC and like having the big rear box to put my helmet and gear whenever I stop somewhere. My only complaint is I wish BMW made the box bigger, as it only fits MY helmet and not my wife's at the same time.

I absolutely couldn’t get my feet, or legs anywhere comfortable on the R18 Transcontinental. I wanted to love the bike because it’s beautiful, and fit and finish are top notch. Horrible foot controls, no room for my feet, and after 10 miles, I had to rest my legs on the jugs to finish the ride. I know they have the highway pegs, and the rails to lay your legs on, and this bike needs those big time. And it’s one heavy SOB, and a beast to get off the sidestand.

As a very happy R18 Classic owner, I'll offer a comment. Because the bagger version likely has the same issue. There are wind buffeting issues, but it's easily solvable. Many will believe changing out the windscreen for a taller one will be the answer. Screen size has no discernable improvement, because the buffeting is coming from below. I tried many windscreens to no avail. My solution was adding fork deflectors (XV1900 Roadliner x 1) from Memphis Shades. Amazing what a $100 add-on can accomplish. 👌👍🤙

Great Review!!! I felt it to be very genuine. Would love to see you review a few more bikes as you have access. I have got to say that all these videos make me miss and want to move back to Central FL. I loved everything about the area but the call of the Boat-Tailed Grackle birds. They are obnoxious and I am impressed that the camera kind of filtered them out at the end. I filmed a wedding at Lake Monroe for some friends with a VHS camcorder back in 2000. Sadly the camera didn't pick up the vows but it got every gurgle chirp and buzz of the Grackles. LOL!!!

Most non motorcycle people think most bikes, naked bikes, are Harley’s. If it Red its a Ducati. When you see a R18 you must take several other close looks as the engine is so unique. Probably the best looking engine as you can see all of it. Plus no wires or other things distracting the show case motor. That drive shaft is icing on the cake. I love this bike, the K1600 Bagger, and Honda Goldwing. The Honda looks futuristic and very unique. The K1600 is a Ferrari of an engine and even sounds like one. The R18 though so unique engine. You do not see these on every corner like a Honda or Harley. I love unique stuff.

Awesome review!! The Transcontinental has been my daily for awhile and absolutely love it. After some practice, navigating the menu purely becomes muscle memory. The adaptive cruise works flawlessly. Like you, I've had more positive comments on this bike then all past bikes combined. Not perfect by any means but what a joy to ride and that's what it is all about, no matter what bike you choose to ride.

Fair review on the bike, they look excellent! However, for those that don't like the touring versions but still want capability you can get (like I did) the base model, which depending on incentives and local offers, can be had for $14-18k and throw on a touring seat, Memphis Shades handlebar screens, and/or wind deflectors with the 48-55mm fork clamps (without the fork covers) with your choice of saddlebags. That will get you about 90% of the way to what the bagger is like and you won't have a massive infotainment system hanging off your front end!

I pulled my 2000 Honda Goldwing out of mothballs and put it in the shop after being in storage since 2011. I love my great big road sofa, my couch on wheels. So I agree with bigger bikes. And it's cheaper to do a rebuild/ restoration versus a new motorcycle.

Hey Jess! I live down the road in Cincinnati. My buddy had a BMW K1600 and the biggest complaint from him was the lack of dealer support. Columbus has a great dealer up there (which is where he bought his), but that is a 1.5 hour drive. The number of dealers is just too low compared to 3 Harley dealerships down here. He went from a Harley to the K1600 and ultimately traded the BMW for a 2019 Honda Goldwing, which he loves. We have two Honda dealerships down here. Just wanted to point out that dealership support should be a key factor for those considering any bike brand.

I had the R-18 Classic. Really enjoyed it, I must say. The engine is an absolute gem. Loads of character and the mapping is excellent. Deceptively fast as well, as it is barely breaking a sweat at 80mph. The only reason I don't have it any longer was the small fuel tank and lack of a fuel-gauge. Though not a complete comparison to the R-18B, I will say both bikes are fantastic for short riders such as myself. Oh, and the reverse gear...absolutely awesome. I can not tell ya how great that was to have.

I have been pricing baggers and you are right. The starting price for this motorcycle compared to anything from HD , isn’t even in the same ballpark. You get so much more for your money it’s not even funny and everyone I know that has purchased a new HD always always, says they are or about change out the stock suspension weather it be the front forks or the rear shocks. And this is on a brand new motorcycle you haven’t made one payment on yet.I was really hoping HD 120th they were going to finally address these issues. Glade I didn’t hold my breath….

I am impressed by your review! Never knew it was buzzy above 3500. About what speed is that? Am assuming it is wayyy up there! Harleys? Everybody's got one. Not unique in any way at all. This bike is very unique much like you are and it seems to fit you well. Sorry you are giving it back! I also ride a unique cruiser and enjoy compliments and looks every time I stop somewhere. Super comfy, plenty of power, smooth as silk and you don't see them every day. Something to be said for that! Keep up the good work, kiddo! You are doing a wonderful job so far!.

I did the demo ride down at Texas Motor Speedway when you were there. Gotta admit, I'm not a fan. I rode the Classic with no Fairing. I thought it was rough in that the motor wasn't smooth. I thought the suspension was harsh and directed a lot of impact into my spine. My impression of the motor was it wasnt as torquey as they would have you believe. I am willing to try again with the bagger model to see if that improves my impression. I am NOT against BMW at all. My son has 2 and a GS Adventure is in my future. I guess i need a longer term test to be sold on it.

The Classic is a lot lower to the ground, it has a different frame. I've sat on them all and the Bagger versions are way taller than the classic versions. I wish they would use the same bagger frame geometry for the classic version to make a Road King version of the bike.

I like the R18B and I’m considering buying one in the near future. I’m in the market for something new and different. I like the way it looks and the fit and finish blows Harley out of the water. Thank you for the feedback on the R18B and if you’re ever in Florida give me a ring 😉.

Excellent review and you confirmed many of the issues I have with the BMW. The motor is a quality motor. However, its configuration is awkward on a motorcycle. Also, I hate mirrors on the handlebars for the exact reasons you stated. Mirrors on the fairings are much better and don't suffer from vibration. Thanks again. Overall, I agree with your assessment.

Good video. Agree with your remarks. I also own Harley touring bikes, but prefer my Transcontinental. The low center of gravity makes it handle better than my Ultra. Agree on the leg rests. Only useful on the highway. Adaptive cruise is a great option as is reverse. Fit and finish are simply better than HD. They need to add an adjustable windshield, put heating controls on the bars and make the bags detachable. TC comes with CVO like accessories for $10-15K less. Marshall Stereo is super. No embedded GPS on the Beemer. You have to blue tooth to your phone, which can be a pain. BMW dealer network is small if you have any issues.

Not sure if it's the same on the R18, but most BMWs have the grip heat control by the right grip. It's usually that second smaller button up from the red starter/cutoff button. As for getting your leg up on and off the leg rests, hip flexor exercises are really good for you and you won't have that problem anymore ;)

I found my mirrors did the same when both hard are not in bars. I have a Delux model no fuel gauge or Tac drives me nuts. My heated grips are a single button control. I love the reverse!!! I am in Australia.

Great review. But it wouldn't have changed my mind on the Low Rider ST.

Thanks for an awesome review! Squats and burpees are great for motorcycle riders. Love the R18. My only gripe is that the three scheduled services at 6000, 12000 and 18000 Mi total $6,000. SIX. THOUSAND. DOLLARS.

Primarily an HD rider, but have owned/ridden GS and RT bikes. Wonderful bikes in general, for the price you get a lot bang for the bucks, compared to more expensive HD with less bang. IMO, BMW bikes are outstanding with regards to tech, handling, suspension, power (Honda GW also). However, trade-in value is not good, and maintenance/parts are very expensive; still, very nice machines. Currently ride 22 RKS (Apex) and 23 Heritage (Anniversary).

Just out of curiosity, what side helmet attachment are you using to mount your go pro? I like the looks and functionality better better than my current chin mount set up. Thanks Chris

I really feel different riding modes are just a costly gimmick. Who needs them!??? I want power at my hand at all times. I would never take it out of sport mode. And if it starts raining, you take it easy. Just A Big waste of money!

I'm surprised to hear about the vibration. I always thought BMWs were very smooth.

Hi! I've been checking out your media gear, especially the microphone. Can I ask what kind of mic adapter you're using for the GoPro? The mic on your gear list just has a 3.5mm jack, not a USB C

i like the R1800s when they 1st came out, but i've owned a couple of Honda Valkyries and a Goldwing with the opposed 6 cylinder and the to me same awkward foot positions, my current bike is an older Road King, and it suits me, but if BMW brings these to Laconia this year i will ride one.

I don’t own a R18,but to activated the heated grip I don’t think you have to go thru left hand wheel,setting , scroll down “100 hrs” lol maybe I’m wrong.…it should be there, a physical button on right hand . Otherwise good video as always. Cheers from Toronto.
