The 2022 BMW Motorcycle Heritage Series R 18 B dates back to the impressive lineage of BMW motorcycling but does so with a modern twist. This motorbike, despite its rich history, employs some of today's cutting-edge technology for a ride that's as luxurious and comfortable as it is powerful.
One of the standout features is the motorcycle's three ride modes. This means that the R 18 B can be easily adapted to a variety of road conditions or personal performance requirements. Plus, it's equipped with ASC (Automatic Stability Control) and MSR (Dynamic Engine Brake Control) for maximum safety and top-tier handling.
When it comes to power, the engine specifications speak volumes. Its 1802 cc, air/oil-cooled twin-cylinder four-stroke boxer engine packs a punch, delivering 91 horsepower at 4750 rpm. Add to that its high torque of 116 lb-ft at 3000 rpm and you have a machine capable of satisfying even the most speed-hungry riders.
Being tuned to use Super Plus unleaded fuel, the R 18 B ticks the boxes for both performance and fuel efficiency. The bike runs on a 12 V / 26 Ah battery, with a robust permanent magnet alternator pushing out 660 W. This ensures a reliable electrical system that won't let you down, irrespective of your touring needs.
The bike's transmission deserves a special mention, too. The R 18 B comes with a 6-speed transmission, promising silky smooth gear shifts to deliver a ride as smooth as it's quick. This, along with the clutch's single-disc dry design, ensures that power delivery is both instantaneous and seamless.
The chassis construction of the 2022 BMW Motorcycle Heritage Series R 18 B is also top-notch. The bike features a double-cradle steel frame, ensuring stability and robustness. Plus, it comes with telescopic front suspension and a steel swingarm with a central shock strut on the rear, striking a balance between comfort and performance on the challenging touring routes.
Safety is paramount in the design of the R 18 B, as witnessed by the incorporation of BMW Motorrad Integral ABS brakes at both front and rear. The ABS system not only ensures brief stopping distances, but also contributes significantly to rider safety, particularly in challenging road conditions.
Priced at around $21,945, the 2022 BMW Motorcycle Heritage Series R 18 B delivers a heritage-inspired design, top-notch safety features and a thrilling performance, making it a top contender in the touring category. In terms of value-for-money, it's refreshing to see a bike that not only speaks to those seeking nostalgia and style, but also delivers on power and modern comforts.
Undeniably, the BMW Motorcycles 2022 model of the Heritage Series R 18 B is a testament to the incredible advancement and timeless appeal of BMW's motorcycle production. It elevates the concept of touring to a whole new level, and I expect it to set new standards in the motorcycle industry.

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
