    Even though I have a couple Harley's in my garage I still have my old 1976 BMW R90/6. This bike was originally my mother's bike. It is by far one of my favorite bikes to go out and run the back roads on. If I was going to go buy a brand new bike it would definitely be a BMW.

    The last missing piece in the BMW-Motorrad lineup. Making the family perfect. As a BMW and BMW-Motorrad enthusiast since I bought my first-ever car, an 1999 740i, I NEVER wanted a BMW vehicle like now... the soul, the story behind it, the form and the link to their own history. MAN, this is a BOMB of a bike. The last missing piece in the BMW-Motorrad lineup.

    Fascinating story, excellent commentary. Love the R 5, a true classic bike, and the 5 icons that have inspired the design of the R 18. Think the open shaft drive is amazing!!! At a time when 'retro' inspired designs are so prevalent, it's remarkable to see BMW's latest offering.

    Hey- great vid. Thanks for sharing - my love for BMW is in the direct line with its history. I love this concept bike but sadly would not purchase it. I personally do not need 1800cc Bring one smaller say 800 and same concept and yes- I would be one of the first to order. I prefer smaller displacement bikes... again. Beautiful bike. Great concept. And simpler is better . I await another instalment of this video series Danke

    An open shaft drive is a safety concern because things (e.g. fingers, loose clothing, etc) can get snagged or caught in exposed moving parts. This is why chain or belt drives at least have protective guards. It may be retro cool, but could be a liability for the company. Also, the elements will find their way into internal parts which may mean more maintenance. Otherwise, really good looking bike. I can see the same bike without the push rods in the engine though.

    A showman and beauty-queen? Looks like a standard coiffure worked on him! Tying hard to look cool, without achieving that goal! ha ha The R18/2 is beautiful, especially in the cruiser configuration!

    I do hope the final design will stay close to the last concept bike, so that the shaft will remain open is a very promising sign. :) If so I have decided that this will be my "heropstapper" bike

    Ja, ich will! Die R18 ist die erste Machine wofür ich meinen Harley aufgeben würde. Absolute Klasse! I will have one! This is the first bike that I'm willing to give up my Harley for...

    Worauf wir warten? Ganz einfach: Die Verkaufsfreigabe! Und das Serienbike, welches hoffentlich auf der EICMA stehen wird...

    Love to hear the confirmation of the open shaft drive. I want a R 18! My only concern is actually the seating postion. I am 1,98m (about 6’6’’)

    The open shaft drive is sweeeeeeeeeet! Might have to trade in my R1200CL. Hope some fool wearing loose clothing doesn't get caught up in it and screw it up for everyone.

    Unless I missed it, all i heard was shaft drive going into production. However, will they be making a R 18 cruiser as it is shown in the video. If the exact concept is going in production (shaft drive or not) - I'm buying!!!
