BMW R 18 Roctane

Touring with a coolness factor

The R 18 Roctane is a synonym for pure nonchalance. Appearance: Bagger. Comfort: touring motorcycle. Personality: custom factory hot rod. It is driven by the powerful big boxer engine. Ride it and every country road turns into Route 66. Its style is unconventional: black and matt – that’s what joy can look like. At least for those who bring #SoulFuel to life. Bagger outline, dragster seat and midi ape-hanger demonstrate that this is not a bog-standard bike. Want even more rock 'n' roll? The bike ready for customising. All you need to do is own it!

Cool touring motorcycle with hot rod design

Character: independent

This extroverted bike does not adapt. It stands out despite its dark colours. Or precisely because of them. The three versions emphasise its different facets. You like doing your own thing? Take it to another level with customising.

    Black storm metallic

    Rock 'n' roll ex works: black in black. It celebrates its rebellious character in Black storm metallic.

    Mineral grey metallic matt

    It doesn't get any cooler than this: the R 18 Roctane in optionally available Mineral grey metallic matt.

    Manhattan metallic matt

    The expressive Manhattan metallic matt paintwork lends your R 18 Roctane more elegance.

    More than a bike – your statement

    The iconic front with round LED headlight and 21-inch cast aluminium wheel leads the way towards the horizon. You are casually gripping the midi ape-hanger and resting your feet on the standard footboards, while the dragster seat gives you perfect support on long tours. The elongated bagger outline flows straight to the stylish rear end featuring hard-shell cases.  This bike is an eye-catcher. Unmistakable: the unique boxer sound from the striking, dark chrome rear silencer.
