The R18/2 Concept goes in a different styling direction to the R18 Concept which preceded it, with the /2 going for a more modern custom cruiser interpretation instead of the classic style of the original concept. “In contrast to the classic, elegant BMW Motorrad Concept R18, the Concept R18/2 draws on its 22 KIWI RIDER large boxer engine and frame to create a modern custom concept, says BMW Head of Design Edgar Heinrich. The Concept R18/2 is uniquely extrovert. Elements from the past and future of BMW Motorrad merge here to create a captivating cruiser, making a powerful statement.”
