<p>Being mobile can mean so many different things. What moves you? How would you like to get around? And where to? In our fast-moving world, we are constantly in motion and seeking perfect flow. A state in which we forget time and space and simply be in the moment. A moment in which we are utterly and completely present. We have dedicated the third episode of &quot;The Future Shack&quot; to this wide-ranging topic, and spoke to inspirational people who accompanied us on our journey to find the perfect flow.</p>

<p>The city is our playground. It grows with us and also encourages us to continue developing. New spaces, new possibilities – everything is on the move. Where will it evolve to? What will its future look like? Will it be as smart as our phones, as digital as our lives? Content creator Nicole travelled to Singapore for our exciting &quot;Smart City&quot; episode and looked for answers in this vibrant, futuristic city.</p>

<p>The R18 Xanto was designed by the team at Sycamore Motorrad with input from every member of the team, the bike was built by senior technician Ollie Newby-Robson, and we wanted something that stands out in the crowd and the Lamborghini Xanto paintwork certainly fits the bill!</p>

<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>Over the winter months, the team have been busy creating a masterpiece. </p>

<p>From 5th to 7th of July 2024, Garmisch-Partenkirchen was again transformed into the Mecca of motorcycle culture, as the BMW Motorrad Days event returned to its traditional home after a two-year stint in Berlin. An emotional highlight for the global BMW Motorrad community, who appreciate this location for its breathtaking panoramic views of the Alps, and for the reminders of past BMW Motorrad Days.</p>

<p>You are driven by the fascinating original. It’s a passion that dominates you. For you, every detail, every millimetre, every technical feature counts. You love this feeling and bring it to life on the street, on the racetrack and now finally also at home: the first M LEGO® model ever and the largest LEGO® Technic motorcycle model to date has been created in close cooperation with LEGO® Technic designers: The LEGO® Technic M RR at a scale of 1:5. The specifications were clear – maximum precision to make what had previously been impossible possible. Parts were designed from scratch if they did not meet the strict requirements, something that was also done with the original. That’s exactly what “Born on the Racetrack. Build at home.” represents. </p>

<p>Around 40,000 motorcycling enthusiasts make a pilgrimage to the BMW Motorrad Days every year. Would you like to be one of them? You can find answers to the most frequently asked questions here. </p>

<p>For three days in Bavaria's Garmisch-Partenkirchen, everything again revolves around the same passion: Motorcycles at the BMW Motorrad Days. An elaborate program of live music and action-packed shows, current bikes and numerous world debuts draws around 40,000 visitors to the city near the Zugspitze from July 5th to 7th. And these are not just BMW Motorrad fans, riders of motorcycles of all brands come to experience a diverse event weekend – a summit for friends, families, and the motorcycle community.</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>Alan Stulberg is a fan of boxer engines. He and his team have created a unique custom bike, living out his creative freedom, for a prototype two-cylinder boxer engine. Inspired by BMW motorcycles from the 1930s and racecars from the early 1960s, this one-of-a-kind bike will be on display for the first time at the Handbuilt Motorcycle Show in Austin, Texas: The Revival Birdcage!</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>
