The BMW R 18 Roctane is a big, custom-bagger-styled cruiser that blends classic German heritage with an aggressive, modern attitude. It is the fifth member of BMW's R 18 family, distinguished by its large 21-inch front wheel, darked-out styling, mini-ape hanger handlebars, and integrated rigid side panniers. ^^?? Engine & Performance^At the heart of the Roctane is BMW's largest-ever production boxer engine, delivering an incredibly torquey and characterful ride. ^ Engine: 1,802 cc air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder 'Big Boxer'.^ Power Output: 91 hp (67 kW) at 4,750 rpm.^ Torque: 158 to 163 Nm (120 lb-ft) peaking at a low 3,000 rpm.^ Drivetrain: 6-speed transmission paired with an exposed, nickel-plated gloss shaft drive.^ Riding Modes: Includes three distinct electronic characters: Rain, Roll, and Rock (Rock mode offers the sharpest throttle response and allows the bike to shake playfully at idle). ^^Chassis & Design Highlights^ Bagger Styling: Features a raked-out silhouette with matching 27-litre lockable hard panniers that cleanly house the integrated rear indicators and taillights.^ Wheels: A striking 21-inch front wheel paired with an 18-inch rear wheel, giving it a commanding stance over the standard R 18. ^ Ergonomics: Tall mini-ape bars, floorboards, a heel-and-toe shifter, and a low 720 mm (28.3 in) seat height that makes it easy for most riders to flat-foot at a stop. ^ Weight: It is a massive machine, scaling in at 374 kg (825 lbs) unladen. ^ ?? Key Technology & Features^ Despite its retro aesthetics, the Roctane comes equipped with modern electronics for safety and convenience:^ Safety: Automatic Stability Control (ASC), Engine Drag Torque Control (MSR), and BMW Motorrad Integral ABS. ^ Comfort & Touring: Cruise control, keyless start, tire pressure monitoring, and heated grips. ^ Convenience: A mechanical reverse gear (operated via a lever on the engine block) and Hill Start Control to help manage its substantial weight. ^ Instrument Panel: A minimalist, round analog speedometer seamlessly integrated into the top of the headlight housing featuring classic 'Berlin Built' text. ^^This bike is in great condition only trade as the gentleman has gone down the adventure bike route.
