SOUL IS ALL THAT MATTERS.

The R 18 invokes our history and the iconic hallmarks of our brand which we have worked very hard on. A legacy that we live by every day in the spirit of #SoulFuel. The result: a cruiser full of character featuring a boxer engine with the highest cubic capacity we have ever built, plus timeless design features.

A cruiser at first glance.

The flyline is elongated and low. The double-cradle steel frame covers the powerful, sculpted engine that underlines the impressive presence of the bike. Riders also have a number of custom equipment options: the R 18 is scaled back to its core to allow for full customization.

Features may include:

  • Available Floorboards

For a true boxer riding experience.

  • Available 2-Tone-Black cylinder head covers.

The high-quality 2-Tone-black cylinder head covers made of milled aluminum perfectly give the boxer engine an attractive appearance.

  • Fishtail silencers

The R 18 design emphasizes the distinctive cruiser silhouette.

  • Open drive shaft and double-cradle frame.

The open, nickel-plated driveshaft puts the focus on the torque.

  • Fork bridge.

Clean and authentic in every detail.
