#R18Classic

BMW announced a refreshed Big Boxer lineup, including Euro 5+ compliance, plus styling updates to the R 18 and R 18 Classic and fresh paint for the R 18 B, R 18 Transcontinental and R 18 Roctane. Expect all five variants to arrive in dealerships in the second quarter of 2025.

BMW is teasing a new model premiere on January 21, for what we expect to be updates for its R 18 range. So far, BMW has only released a single image of a model along with the tagline “Next Level Big Boxer Culture”.

BMW introduced a second version of its R18 cruiser, a touring model dubbed the R18 Classic, featuring a large windscreen, passenger seating, saddlebags, electronic cruise control, additional LED lighting and a 16-inch front wheel.

BMW announced it will reveal five new motorcycles on Oct. 22 at noon EST/9 am PST across its social media channels. BMW only offered two clues about the five models: they will all be what BMW calls its “Heritage world”, and at least one will be an R18 model based on the engine photo accompanying the news.
