BMW R18 Transcontinental 2022 - Sound, Driving, Beautiful details

The new BMW R18 Transcontinental is the ultimate tourer.

It is based on the standard BMW R18, so it uses the same 1,802 cc, flat-twin engine, that produces 90 hp and 116 ft lbs of torque. Also unchanged, is the double-loop steel tube chassis, and 49 mm inverted-fork suspension. 

Priced at $25000, it brings a splendid leather trim for the seats, and a 10 point 25-inch TFT display.

In addition, the navigation system is matched to an audio package from Marshall Amplification, that has three options: the standard two-speaker setup, a four-speaker configuration, or six speakers with subs and amplifiers.

Aditionaly, you get a bigger, 6.2-gallon gas tank, and 26.9 gallons of storage capacity, in the two side cases and top box, that come as standard fitment.

Compared to the already heavy R18, the Transcontinental weighs 181 pounds more, having 941 pounds in weight.
