BMW 2023 R 18 B Touring Motorcycle – Features and Specs
Looks: unmistakable bagger motorcycle
A tall, eye-catching front fairing gives way to a teardrop-shaped 6.3-gallon tank and a stretched bench before ending in a back end with incorporated side cases and tail lamps. True to BMW Motorrad form in that it is uniform and uncomplicated in appearance. This kind of aerodynamic polish is characteristic of bagger motorcycles.
Make yours unique
Precisely what it is that you want out in your mind. Thus, the BMW 2023 R 18 B Touring Motorcycle was developed with customization in mind from the ground up. Both the structure and the available tools and Authentic BMW Motorrad Parts fit this description.
An BMW 2023 R 18 B Touring Motorcycle that suits your taste is possible thanks to a wide variety of customization options, including the elaborate “Machined” and “2-Tone-Black” sets designed in cooperation with Roland Sands Design, the standard “Option 719,” and Vance & Hines exhaust systems.
1802 cc – but no space for hot air
That’s the most storage space any BMW has ever had. It’s there in front of you, in your ears, and in your senses. Powerful pleasure and consistently high torque are yours to enjoy, thanks to the engine’s ability to generate over 111 lb-ft of torque at any speed between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm in the tried-and-true boxer fashion.
At 4,750 rpm, the powerful motor delivers 91 horsepower. Among the many excellent characteristics of the 1802 cc is its uncovered, nickel-plated cardan shaft, which has a timeless design.
Rock ‘n’ Roll ‘n’ Rain
