The BMW R 18 Transcontinental combines a massive 1,802cc boxer engine with premium touring equipment, generous luggage space and an imposing cruiser design. Its 24-litre fuel tank, large fairing, heated seats and grips, advanced electronics and Marshall audio system make it built for comfortable highway journeys. Although discontinued in India, the R 18 Transcontinental remains a distinctive option to consider in the used premium touring motorcycle market.

The massive torque output suits relaxed highway cruising, letting the motorcycle build speed without forcing the rider to constantly work the gearbox. Its claimed top speed is around 180 km/h.
