BMW R18 First Edition: First Ride Review

03 March 2021

Neil Nair

The R18 is BMW's second attempt at playing offense against the high and mighty Harley-Davidson, not only in their home ground but the world over. And we recently got to sample the R 18 ‘First Edition’ for a couple of days to find out what it has to offer.
