In the realm of two-wheeled beauties, few motorcycles can claim heritage while incorporating cutting-edge technology in their design - the 2022 BMW Motorcycle Heritage Series R 18 is one eminent exception. Earning its place under the Cruiser category, this marvellous machine bonds the classic appeal of motorbikes with today's advanced features and design simplicity.
The cruiser bike from BMW's 2022 collection is nothing short of a mechanical masterpiece. The makers promise an exhilarating experience with each ride, thanks to the bike's powerful engine. With the air/oil-cooled, two-cylinder four-stroke boxer engine, the Heritage Series R 18 produces an impressive nominal capacity of 91 horsepower at 4,750 RPM. The torque doesn't disappoint either - a maximum of 116 lb-ft at 3,000 RPM ensures a smooth ride on even the most challenging terrains.
Beyond the engine, there's a surfeit of notable standard equipment that the R 18 is equipped with. From ABS Pro for safety and adjustable clutch and handbrake levers for tailored comfort, to four riding modes (Rain, Sport, Dynamic, Race) for riding adaptability - the motorcycle is engineer-incarnate.
It further boasts of an advanced multifunctional display, LED-integrated rear light, gear shift assist pro, and torque control assist (TCA). To deliver a remarkably smooth ride, the R 18 comes with preload and rebound adjustable rear suspension and an upside-down front fork.
The design of the Heritage Series R 18 is quintessentially BMW. A beautifully crafted aluminum fuel tank offers a vintage touch, whereas the single rider seat provides a distinctive, modern look. With a sturdy double-cradle steel frame and spoke wheels, this bike is a testament to perfection in design and craftsmanship.
Performance-wise, the motorbike is simply superb. One glance at its specs reveals why; this motorcycle is willing to reach speeds over 111 mph. Despite packing such a performance punch, the bike is surprisingly eco-friendly with a regulated three-way catalytic converter for emission control.
Combining all these features and technical specs with a well-marketed manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $15,995, the 2022 BMW Motorcycle Heritage Series R 18 makes for an enticing choice for riding enthusiasts who are in pursuit of a perfect fusion of heritage, style, and modern technology.
When seeking a ride that defies convention while celebrating tradition, the 2022 BMW Motorcycle Heritage Series R 18 is worth consideration. This cruiser bike is a beautiful blend of engineering and artistry, designed to deliver a superior riding experience.
One can't help but feel that this masterpiece from BMW Motorcycles is not just a mode of transport, but rather a work of art conceived in the crucible of technology and tradition with an emphasis on style, comfort, and superior ride quality.

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
