R 18 No. 5 “Racer”

BMW R18 new vehicle, year 2024

The BMW R18 “Racer” – taking inspiration from touring car racing, particularly the BMW M4 GT4, we wanted to create a unique design that stands apart from the predominantly established R18 bobber builds. Of course, our expertise in wide-tire custom builds had to be incorporated as well – delivering an aggressive look: low and wide, a true drag bike. This project was built in collaboration with our trusted BMW dealer, Motorrad Witzel. You can also find it soon in the latest issue of Custombike Magazine!
