2023 BMW R 18 B Manhattan Metallic Matte

2023 BMW R 18 B Manhattan Metallic Matte

The R 18 B brings together full Boxer power with BMW Motorrad touring history and the emotional character of the R 18 family. The large front end featuring a fork-mounted fairing and low windscreen demonstrate a strong character. The 1802 cc of the black Big Boxer leaves no room for speculation. Still, it’s not all about displacement. The R 18 B goes significantly further. It’s made for customizing. Turn it into your unique bike and bring out the #SoulFuel.

The dropping fly line runs from the tall, striking front fairing to the teardrop-shaped 6.3 gallon tank and the stretched seat to the rear end featuring integrated side cases and tail lights. Typical for BMW Motorrad: consistent and straight-forward design. Typical for a bagger motorcycle: characteristic streamlining.

You know exactly what you want. For this reason, the R 18 B has been completely geared towards customization. This applies both to the design as well as to the range of Original BMW Motorrad Accessories and equipment. The elaborate “Machined” and “2-Tone-Black” collections developed in cooperation with Roland Sands Design, the traditional “Option 719” and the Vance & Hines exhaust systems are merely the starting point on the way to an R 18 B that suits your taste.

Features may include:

• Active Cruise Control

With the available ACC, your bike maintains your desired speed, via a radar sensor, and distance from the vehicle in front of you.

• Cases

The integrated side cases provide a capacity of over 7 gallons each. Their stylish shape has been integrated into the R 18 B’s streamlined outline: for an unmistakable bagger look. The perfectly coordinated liners made of a sophisticated leather and canvas material mix are available as part of the accessories range.

• Cockpit

Four traditional, analog round instruments are included together with a modern 10.25” TFT display: from fuel level indicator to map navigation, you have all the information available at a glance.

• Power Reserve

See what you can feel: the traditional, round instrument illustrates the power reserves you haven’t used yet.

• TFT display

The 10.25” TFT color display offers you a range of legible information and maximum functionality.

• Marshall Gold Series

Available gray cover grilles and golden Marshall lettering: these are the elements that conceal the refined sound quality from a total of four speakers powered by a 180 watt amp.

• Boxer engine

We build it with conviction and plenty of passion. Power, endurance, reliability – simply put: a very special boxer experience.

• Front Fairing

First impressions count. And this one is impressive. The front fairing installed on the handlebars provides you with ideal protection from the elements and represents a visual highlight with a high recognition value.
