The BMW R 18 Transcontinental is the full-dress touring version of BMW's R 18 cruiser. It uses BMW's huge air- and oil-cooled 1,802cc boxer twin, the largest boxer BMW has built.
With a fork-mounted fairing, top box and saddlebags, it suits riders who want a luxury tourer with classic style. Rivals include the Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited and Indian Roadmaster.
