BMW R-Series description
Very clean and original touring model with only 7,000 miles! The bike was recently acquired from the original owner who has retired from riding. Original owner had the frame, wheels and miscellaneous mounting brackets professionally repainted/powder coated. There are many new factory parts installed and included with the sale. All bike components and systems are fully functional and in good working order!
The bike is painted the factory original magenta-red color and does have chips, scratches and fading. Only non original parts are a) rear shocks, b) dash headlight mounted switch and c) new Interstate AGM sealed battery. Period correct Konis are installed and work well. The original Nivomat shocks are included with the sale however they are not 'pumping up'. Wiring of aftermarket headlight switch maybe reconfigured to the original control switch. The 1983 models are the most technically advanced twin shock BMWs and this bike, due to mileage and condition, will make an excellent long distance traveler, or member of a collection, or a great platform for a naked, cafe', or custom bike conversion. All questions will be thoughtfully answered. |

BMW R 18 Roctane Confirmed in Homologation Filings
Fri, 31 Mar 2023Evidence suggests a performance cruiser variant BMW is preparing to add a new model to its 1,802cc boxer family, receiving type approval in Switzerland for a new variant called the R 18 Roctane. The type approval data for the Roctane shows much in common with the existing R 18 models, but with some notable differences. For one, the R 18 Roctane has an internal model code of “0N61,” while the model codes for the R 18, R 18 Classic, R 18 B, and R 18 Transcontinental all have model codes beginning with “0L.” This suggests the Roctane differs from the other models in a fairly significant way, either with a chassis update or a different form factor.
