BMW R18: Berlin's Pride Is A Cruiser Of ‘Future Past'

REMEMBER when the pictures of the BMW R18 first surfaced online? It had the motorcyclists all over the world swooning over it. And we aren’t talking about cruiser fans only. Nearly every motorcyclist around the world took notice of what BMW made in the form of the R18. We got a closer look at it recently and now, here we are with the first-ride impressions of it. Time for a story? You bet!

In order to be able to tell this story with all the emotions intact, we have to start with some examples. Imagine Ryan Reynolds, the Deadpool, in a sob-fest rom-com. Does it work? No, because we don’t see Reynolds that way. Imagine Jason Statham from The Transporter series in Dear John… or Al Pacino in Letters to Juliet. Doesn’t work, right?

The reason is pre-conceived notions or the process of being ‘typecast’. You see someone doing something very different than they generally do, Bam... it feels out of place. Not that it is not possible, but it just seems unlikely. Another typical example of this is the Germans being serious people. Brilliant engineers, but serious people. And again, shattering this motion, for real, is a German which is laid-back, relaxed, believes in enjoying the little things in life and last but not the least, is a fan of Rock’n’Roll! The BMW R18.
