BMW: R18 refreshed – no R20 S, yet
Posted
by
BMW’s enormous R18 mega-boxers have had some very minor tweaks, aimed at meeting the tighter Euro 5+ emissions rules. So, the 1802cc air-cooled flat twin motor has a new ECU, which keeps power the same at 91bhp, but adds an extra 5Nm of torque. The new engine is shared amongst the range: the R18 Classic…

BMW: Concept & updates
Posted
by
BMW’s ‘F’ range has sometimes been overlooked in the past, which is a shame. The Bavarian bike-mongers was ploughing a lonely furrow in the parallel-twin world nearly 20 years ago with the original F800 models, and now everyone’s in on (arguably) the dullest of the two-cylinder layouts. It must be fuming. But not too much,…

Chad begins his journey with the big beemer… Welcome to my long-term R12 nineT.

Updates for the BMW S1000XR
Posted
by
While all eyes were on the news of the launch of the new R1300GS, BMW’s quietly revealed some serious changes to its long-legged sport-tourer.
