<p>Built to be customised, the BMW R 18 draws upon the classic design of the BMW R5, fused with modern technology to create a soulful riding experience.</p>

<p>Our aim was to produce a stripped back, bare bobber as a salute to the spirit of the original machines from the 1920s.</p>

<p>With its classic design cues and adaptable underpinnings, the R 18 is crafted for limitless customisation possibilities.</p>

<p>We have never been more mobile. Being on the move means having arrived. So far, so contemporary. But how will it be tomorrow? How do we want to live? How will we balance the desire for maximum mobility with environmental demands? How do we want to shape urban life? Like ourselves? Together with content creators, we look for answers as part of “The Future Shack” project. Logical answers. And ones that feel right. Answers that match our values. In this process, we are rethinking the future. Be inspired.</p>

<p>Your curiosity still isn't sated? Are you dying to learn what the next year will offer? Then you've come to the right place: We offer a number of highlights for fans and riders. Whether they are new releases to the BMW Motorrad product range or exciting events: Look with us to the year 2020 and let us show you the most exciting new motorcycle releases.<strong> </strong></p>

<p>Explore the world, master every challenge at the GS, and show your team spirit: The International GS Trophy is an incomparable and challenging motorcycle adventure. More than a dozen teams from all over the world are meeting again from 9 – 16 February 2020. The riders are in for a treat as this year's venue is New Zealand. There the participants will have the opportunity to experience a unique and once-in-a-lifetime event.<br /> </p>

<p>The extreme adventure of the International GS Trophy 2020 in New Zealand is very demanding on its participants. They will not be able to overcome those challenges alone. They will master these challenges on the BMW F 850 GS – a motorcycle made for rough terrain. As indestructible as the bike is also its high-performance-kit. The equipment accompanies the participants safe and protected through extreme conditions such as moisture, cold or heat.</p>

<p>Just six months ago, BMW Motorrad took the custom scene by storm with the world premiere of the Concept R 18 at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Now, a second design study featuring the awe-inspiring 1800cc flat-twin engine has been successfully presented in Milan at the international EICMA motorcycle exhibition.</p>

<p>It’s the world premiere that the custom scene has been eagerly awaiting – a BMW Motorrad custom concept featuring a new prototype flat-twin engine – the highest capacity boxer motorcycle ever produced. Simply christened ‘Concept R 18’, this pure, stripped-down, raked-out bike gives more than a hint of what’s coming our way in the cruiser segment.</p>

<p>The UK is one of the Int. GS Trophy’s bedrocks. Back in 2010 the team had their biggest success winning the whole competition, six years later they made it in the top 3 of the leaderboard. This time, Richard Cox (47), Roy Prescott (46) and Tim Mitchell (25) will give one’s all to make their homeland proud again. Richard Cox from Clutton is a civil engineer, Roy Prescott, who comes from Barton, works as a farmer and Tim Mitchell from Warrington earns his money as a car technician    </p>

<p>We were keen to offer a platform that would allow us to modify various sections of customers R18’s using our bike as a story board.</p>

<p>This one of a kind R18 Custom First Edition is located and has been customised at our very own BMW Motorrad Sunderland.  </p>

<p>To really enjoy the road, you have to be carefree. And on a motorcycle. At BMW Motorrad, we're always working on new solutions that let you focus your eyes and your mind on what's most important: a carefree and fun motorcycling experience. </p>

<p>We do not standstill and our eyes are always looking to the future. We put our innovations to the test in the development centres, on test tracks and test areas in long series of tests under the most demanding conditions,  so that your individual driving experience today and tomorrow is as safe and comfortable as possible.  We have the Autodrome de Miramas test site in southern France at our disposal for particularly intensive test drives - an area of around 473 hectares with a wide variety of test tracks over a total length of more than 50 kilometres. Motorways, race tracks, wet driving or tough off-road use: in Miramas we simulate all conceivable driving scenarios, test 140 BMW motorcycles annually, put them through the toughest conditions and cover around 2.5 million kilometres on them. We are constantly thinking ahead and developing new solutions, innovations and technologies. That's why we present you with interesting facts from the past, progress from the present and visionary ideas for the future on this page. </p>

<p>Your life – every day. 24 hours. A job for life and nine to five? Not for you. Time out from a time out? Your life is not a straight line. You don't live in the fast lane. You are everywhere – all the time. Always by your side: the BMW Motorrad Concept CE 02. The city is full of opportunities and you are in control – because this is your life.</p>

<p>On your marks, get set for adventure, go: If Hing had his way, he'd always be on the road. Travel, travel and more travel. On one of his 12 motorcycles. It's no surprise: Hing is at home everywhere, always open to the world. Born in Hong Kong and raised in the Netherlands, he now lives and works in Long Beach, California. </p>

<p>His babies are BMW classic bikes. He always finds the time to cruise. He stops off at a small restaurant, parks his bike in front of the window and eats a burger while longingly gazing at his companion. But Nick also likes it fast and has enjoyed the thrill of speed on many a motorcycle. His friends don't call him &quot;Blitzen&quot; for no reason. &quot;I'm a speed demon&quot; he admits. </p>

<p>With over 100 custom bikes built from their workshops in London and San Francisco, Untitled Motorcycles use their inspiration from the Bōsōzoku subculture taking R 18 customisation to another level. Adam Kay (co-founder) shares their journey and more about the unique design.<strong></strong></p>

<p>Founded by T F Watson in 1912, Watsonian has been involved in building a variety of sidecars for over 100 years. </p>

<p>A renowned customiser from Austria, Bernhard Naumann (also known as Blechmann) presents his version of the Big Boxer; The Blechmann R 18.</p> <p>The BMW R 18 signifies the tradition of historical BMW motorcycles like no other – paying homage to the iconic BMW R5 focusing back on the essentials and uncomplicated riding. Naumann aimed to change as little as possible on the frame and the technology, and to only use the original mounting points for the creation of the Blechmann R 18.</p>

<p>Roland Sands is known for his daring designs with sports racing influences. He combines styles and knows no limits. When modifying the R 18, he draws inspiration from his father’s drag racing days: He reduces the mighty cruiser to the essentials and gears it up for maximum speed on straight roads. The result is a straight-line dragster with an iconic boxer engine – the R 18 Dragster.</p>

<p>&quot;This won’t be just any old, stunning PR bike. It will be one with a soul, a spirit.” In just a few words Dirk Oehlerking makes clear what he – and his modified R 18 – stand for. Kingston Custom bikes are always something very special. They have names such as White Phantom or Good Ghost. And that’s not the only reason they put the fear of God into some and make the hair on enthusiasts’ necks stand on end. Even Dirk himself is gripped by total passion each time he does as much as think about his projects. However, there was something else involved in the R 18 “mega project”: a responsibility like never before.</p>

<p>Sebastian Gutsch has been restoring old BMW motorcycles for decades. His bikes are more than just good-looking. The lawyer from Munich also rides his creations at vintage bike races and was one of the first to ride the R 5 Hommage at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the elegance competition for classic cars. After all, the original engine installed in the bike comes from his own collection. Just one of the many rare finds and stories from his garage.</p>

<p>With its classic design cues and adaptable underpinnings, the R 18 is crafted for limitless customisation possibilities.</p>

<p>Fuel tanks and jerseys, helmets and tools, calligraphy and photography: the workshop – or rather the wonderful and orderly chaos – of Shinya Kimura, one of the most sought-after customisers in the world (and one of the most interesting ones!), is packed with mementos and astonishing items of all kinds. No more than two or three motorcycles leave his holy halls each year. During his modification projects, he always focuses on only one bike at a time to be fully invested in the project. The flow and harmony as well as the Wabi-Sabi of Japanese aesthetics play a crucial role in this. The patina and the genuine character of the – mostly – old motorcycles are just as important to him as the essence of the future rider. After all, it’s the rider who completes the project. So it’s all the more exciting that this time Shinya has a brand-new R 18 in his workshop and the rider concerned is no less than he himself.</p>

<p>The new twin-cylinder boxer engine fascinates in its diversity from the very first moment. Its character is unmistakeable – in every engine speed range. It offers you increased performance and smooth running at low speeds. The BMW ShiftCam variable camshaft control ensures more powerful torque development over the entire engine speed range, providing greater control in every riding situation. Giving you power whenever you need it. More cubic capacity, more power – with higher efficiency. The strong performance with fewer gear changes gives you sovereignty. A masterpiece of engineering prowess. </p>
