“100 Years of Soul in One Motorcycle”, even after 10 decades, we still see the timeless and modern elegance in the R 18 100 Years. Named a design icon and statement to the public eye. The unmissable centrepiece of this model is the 67kW boxer engine added by the largest displacement ever installed by BMW Motorrad. Complimented with numerous special features it combines well with a high-grade surface concept in the anniversary edition of the R 18. The main focus being the Classic Chrome with black paintwork and high-gloss chrome surfaces. White double lining and of course the 100 Years badge are featured to commemorate the exclusivity of this anniversary model. The front wheel covers and side panels are covered in black paint and complimented with white double lining on the front mudguard.

The Classic Chrome design is one of the major attractions of the R 18 100 Years and has been for the past 100 years. High-quality durable galvanic surface coating can be seen on the Handlebar fittings, gearshift, foot brake levers, handlebar clamps, cylinder head covers and many other small features are finished in this design made to stand out at every corner. Look and see the chromed Akrapovič rear silencers with perforated tailpipe trims in the “propeller style” of the BMW brand logo.
