Description

  FOR SALE IS A 2021 BMW R18 FIRST EDITION. THE BIKE ONLY HAS 6 MILES ON IT, I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE KEPT IT IN CLIMATE CONTROLLED STORAGE!VERY BEAUTIFUL BIKE WITH LOTS OF POWER! ***SERVICE FEE OF $369 WILL APPLY AT TIME OF SALE! The 2021 BMW R 18 is powered by an air-and-oil-cooled, 1,802cc, horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine with four valves per cylinder, six-speed in-unit transmission, and an exposed shaft drive. Tested on the Cycle World in-house dyno, the R 18 showed 81.3 hp at 4,800 rpm and 103.1 pound-feet of torque at 2,880 rpm. “With such a large engine, perhaps power-cruiser levels of horsepower and torque are expected, but this was not the goal in going big. BMW aimed for friendly and ample class-competitive power, not dragstrip dominance,” Justin Dawes states in his CW review. “Best to slow down, skip the freeway, and take back roads or skirt the coast. Remember, this is a cruiser.”The long, low chassis limits cornering clearance and any form of non-cruising-pace cornering will be met with peg feelers a-sparkin’ on these mid-mounted controls. Heeding speed suggestion signs before the corners is enough to keep grinding to a minimum. Turn-in at speed is light despite its CW-measured 790-pound wet weight, 32.7 degrees of rake, 5.9 inches of trail, and 68.1-inch wheelbase. Parking-lot maneuvering, however, reveals nearly every pound of that weight thanks to the wide bars that make full-lock turns a stretch, while the torque-effect of the engine just adds another challenge to the slow-speed-balance equation as it rocks the chassis.A combination of beachside cruising, mountain-road riding, and freeway commuting over multiple days returned an average of 35.9 mpg; that theoretically gets you 150 miles on this 4.2-gallon tank. At 110 miles you’ll be searching for a station when the low-fuel warning illuminates, indicating a gallon reserve remains. With no fuel gauge or estimated range displayed, the tripmeter comes in handy often.
