TRAVELING BROADENS THE MIND – AND FORMS THINGS LIKE OUR CHARACTER.
The R 18 Transcontinental looks like it could just eat up the miles. The large front fender and the striking front end with both auxiliary headlights form the starting point for the elegant streamlined design. The 6.3 gallon tank, wind deflectors, floorboards and the topcase with backrest for the passenger complete the clearly defined look.
THIS Transcontinental features Option 719 Mineral White Metallic. A travel companion that is hard to beat in terms of elegance. Wherever it goes, it’s all about the bike. It creates an impressive appearance with its radiant white surfaces and golden highlights – wherever it appears.

• Gravity Blue Metallic, which is harmonious, balanced, and demonstrates self-confidence

STICK TO YOUR PATH.

The wide range of Original BMW Motorrad Accessories additionally supports this customizing concept. The “Machined” and “2-Tone-Black” collections, designed in collaboration with Roland Sands Design, the classic “Option 719”, for instance with AERO Design package, particularly emphasize the bike’s luxurious appearance. The R 18 Transcontinental can be customized and upgraded with sophisticated and convenient touring equipment, such as case liners.
STRENGTH IS BORN FROM CALMNESS – AND FROM EACH MILE ALONG THE WAY.
You already realize why the Big Boxer is called exactly that when you start it up. You can feel the vast displacement on every mile along the way. With its typical boxer power development you can rely on at minimum 111 lb-ft between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm. The impressive torque and responsiveness provide fully fledged pleasure in the long term – relaxed, but never boring. And the exposed, nickel-plated cardan shaft demonstrates just how much history we have packed into these 1802 cc. What now? Time to write your own history.
