It also invokes timeless marks of our motorcycle history, such as with the white double pinstripe found on the R 18 Classic First Edition. The heart of the machine is obviously the boxer engine with the most displacement we have ever built. It is designed for relaxing tours and pure enjoyment.

The engine delivers instant response early in the torque curve: The 1802 cc twin-cylinder boxer engine of the R 18 Classic is largest we have ever built. An engine you can see, hear, and feel. It delivers its maximum torque of 116 lb-ft at 3,000 rpm. From 2,000 to 4,000rpm , it delivers over 100 lb-ft , which translates to a consistently high torque delivery and the typical running characteristics of a boxer. At 4,750 rpm, the Big Boxer delivers 91 hp.
