BMW continues its rich heritage in two-wheel motion with the production of the 2022 BMW Motorcycle Heritage Series R 18 Classic. This impressive cruiser, true to its name, unmistakably harks back to the classics in BMW’s motorcycle history, showcasing state-of-the-art technology disguised in a vintage charm.
At its heart is a design powered by an air/oil-cooled two-cylinder four-stroke boxer engine. The engine delivers a horsepower of 91 at 4,750 rpm, and with a torque of 116 lb-ft at just 3,000 rpm, the R 18 Classic has impressive pulling power at low revs. Coupled with a 6-speed transmission, it brings forth an exceptional riding experience synonymous to BMW motorcycles.
The cruiser boasts a series of advanced standard features that improve both performance and safety, such as the ShiftCam, ABS Pro which is partially integral and disengageable, LED headlight, and LED turn signals in mirrors. The gear shift assist pro aids in smoother shifts, while the adjustable clutch lever accommodates riders of varying hand sizes and strengths. Enhancing the riding experience are the four riding modes which include Rain, Sport, Dynamic and Race to adjust to varying conditions or preferences.
What stands out with the R 18 Classic is the seamless combination of operational features, advanced technology, and classic design reminiscent of vintage BMW motorcycles. The motorcycle exudes a timeless appeal with its classic design and robust cast aluminum wheels. Moreover, the preload and rebound adjustable rear suspension along with an upside-down front fork promote improved stability and control.
BMW goes above and beyond with its lighting features, including an LED integrated rear light, ensuring optimal visibility for riders. The bike also supports resolution-free riding with its anti-hopping clutch, enabling you to stop quickly without worrying about rear wheel hopping.
The R 18 Classic, however, isn’t just about performance and design; it’s also about comfort. The single rider’s seat designed precisely for comfortable long-distance rides. And with a fully fueled and road-ready weight of 805 lbs, the bike still manages a maximum load of 430 lbs, underpinning its versatility and robustness.
Given its advanced features and classic touch that takes a leaf from BMW’s rich motorcycle history, the 2022 BMW Motorcycle Heritage Series R 18 Classic surely warrants the attention of enthusiasts. It extends a motorcycling experience that affirms BMW’s commitment to riders' needs without losing sight of the rich history from which it was born.

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
