If you are a fan of Cafe Racer motorcycles, and if you wish to see this new BMW motorcycle as a custom R18 Cafe Racer, then you will love this video.
You may find tons of videos, reviewing the launch of the new BMW R18 First edition.
But none of these videos, reviewed this new BMW R18 as I do.
Today you will see what kind of changes this new BMW R18 requires, to look like the R18 Concept. In other words, closer to a custom Bobber BMW R18.
I hope you like it.
My special thanks to Pedro Torres, for his great help with my English. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Agree 100% the original was better... now customization will be popular with buyers who want to get back to the form of the concept.. and if BMW supplies the parts.... a good (though unethical) way to generate income. Thank you for this update on the R18.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
The concept version looks far more better then the final build
Been following you sir for some time, this is my first comment. As a fan of the old R-series, I was quite disappointed of the stock motorcycle. You have answered all my questions with this video. How it could and should look. Thank you for taking the time.
BMW has certainly spread it’s wings reaching out to a new, if not limited, market. The potential to customize this bike is out there. Can’t wait to see what some of the builders come up with. Thank you for an excellent presentation of this BMW. As always, thank you for Racer TV, the Café racers only choice! Ride safe my friend.... Cheers!
Indeed. Thank you my dear friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
this video is a good answer for r18's problem.
thank you, the voice person of this video.
Great video... was wondering myself how the released model could be made to look like the concept and you really showed it well, thanks!
Not a fan of cruiser/chopperesque type bikes, but understand that it's a huge market that manufacturers need to cash in on, and BMW have given the bike buying public a good blank canvas.
Cheers mate, stay healthy everyone 👍🏻
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Thank you for your thoughts and visualisations, this bike seemed to have a good potential for customising.
Thank you my friend for your support. :) Cheers.
Nice video Racer. When I first saw the original concept I thought, not a bad bike. When I saw the production bike I thought no thank you. But that seems to be the way it goes with concept bikes, I do like your take on it as a cafe racer. Ride safe and stay safe in this crazy world we are in right now. Cheers
Beyond the subject, your videos always have a great rhythm and musical quality. On this particular one, spot on. Bravo.
Thank you my friend for all your kind words. I appreciate your support. :) Cheers.
Thanks for this great inspiration and good looking design you have made and have presented. I was like you not that happy with the BMW changes from the proto to the production of the R18 but have to recognize you have change our mind we may consider this a next base for one of our customer ;-) ( love the idea to get back to the original tank
THX for your great work
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :)Just a small detail. The fuel tank on my Cafe Racer photoshop rendering, hasn't the same proportions of the old original one from the R65/75. Cheers.
Thank you for this!
Hello my friend. Your project with this R18 is the perfect concept, the ultimate fantastic bike that everyone would like to own. Bravo !👍
Enjoyed the video and your commentary. Your vision for this motorcycle is right-on!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Thats is THE review! Only on Racer TV 👏👏👏
The cafe build has an awesome blend of old school and modern aesthetics
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Just a turbocharger and 200+ nm of torque possible. though this being an air cooled 1.8l engine, the heat released by this thing must be as much as a jet engine heats up.
I love this channel so much..I follow with passion..I love this charming voiceover .. Racer TV. 👌
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Brilliant sketches, thanks, CR
You are welcome my friend. My pleasure. Cheers.
Very cool café concept, thanks.
The concept was stunning. But like most production models they have to run the gauntlet between, marketing, production engineering, financial and of course the dreaded legal department. That is how a production model is birthed.
You nailed it with your attempt at the production version!
I still want the concept too... inverted levers, those exhausts, the headlight... but yours would be a suitable replacement 😉👍
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
As allways, a great video.
I really like your idea of changing the tank to a classic looking one. 👍
Nossa, faz tanto tempo que não venho por aqui e hoje ao retornar me deparo com esse excelente vídeo.
Imagine os outros videos que ainda não viu. He he. Obrigado amigo pelo apoio :) Um abraço.
Good job on the 2 designs. Both are big improvements. You're right, BMW made this bike to be customized and we should see some beautiful custom bikes out of this in the coming years.
You are spot on!
Great video, as always! In my opinion tho, The concept is incredibly beautiful, but the production version is too similar to other models from other companies. There will be custom motorcycles based on this model, but the price tag is already crazy high... Plus the customization! You can buy several bikes... 😂
spot on ! Special your interpretation how the R18 loocs closer to the concept is a lot better.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
I like the classic paint job, that’s about it.
You really are an artist sir 👊
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
It's just amazing !!!👍
best cafe racer channel
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Cheers.
Aloha ! What a magnificent BMW after customising it turn out to be a Marvelous beast I wish I could drive a motorcycle like that . Mahalo Vitor cheers amigo :)
Thank you my friend for your kind comment. :) Mahalo.
Very nice bike. That last Photoshop cafe racer design looks amazing. Yea the seat somewhat more towards bobber but still it's a bad ass bike if you can tinkering and custom it.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Excellent video.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
your cafe racer looks much better than the production bike, that's for sure ! and, hey ! the high exhaust position remind me - why not a SCRAMBLER version too ?! :-))
Versátil, essa é a palavra que uso para definir o conceito da BMW R18
I’ve ordered the R18 here in Australia. Aside from the huge chrome exhaust I really like it. I agree the concept was better but seating height looked uncomfortable. Yes one can modify it with a plethora of accessories & that’ll be the individual’s choice. Hence why we customize isn’t it? I’m not a fan of your rendering of this as a cafe racer. There’s plenty of other bikes in the market place for that!👍🏻😎
Yes, you are right. But i also think there will be a few, who would love to have a Cafe Racer with that 1800cc boxer engine. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
What is the price here Andrew?
Obrigado meu amigo : merci pour cette vidéo en anglais pour nous les passionnés. gros big up a toi et a tes vidéo de Qualité gentleman. je suis un Abonné a ta chaine maintenant and for ever now. Sagui
Gostei do projecto para caferacer 😎✊🏼 grande abraço
I agree completely with you, my friend... btw, again great job with that video... thanx a bunch
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
Creo que es una moto excelente para personalizar saludos desde Argentina
This is better looking than the R18/2 in my opinion.
Indeed. Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
*Vi escrito no ínicio BMW e já pensei: Cilindros para fora para bater a canela... kkkk Lindo projeto. Na hora que esperava mais 6 minutos de video, acabou. o veido me cativou e me fez andar na garupa. ah. o guarda lamas aqui é paralamas que para a lama, mas guarda a lama que gruda em si.*
Loool. Pois é, Já era de esperar essa opinião do Fernando. Lembro-me em pequeno que algumas pessoas também usavam esse termo"Para lamas". Mas hoje em dia, quase todas as pessoas aqui usam Guarda lamas. :) Um abraço.
Beautiful motorcycle!...............👌🖤🏍💨🔥
Fantástico video
Obrigado amigo. Fico contente que tenha gostado. :) Um abraço.
Very good customatization!!!
GREAT creative video! SALUTE!
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Salute.
Análise perfeita dessa motocicleta .
Bought one yesterday , ill be able to pick it up in about a month.
sending love from Poland !!!
Agree the concept bike looks much better. In any case, the R18 bike's style is not for everyone
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Concordo com você, tudo depende do estilo de pilotagem de cada um. Motos assim são mais para desfiar do que ter uma tocada mais agressiva.
Muito massa gostei mesmo! Watson, falando aqui do Brasil. Mas, sobre a versão bobber, vai sempre ter um probleminha com as lindas BMW que são os comandos avançados. Nesta moto os cilindros opostos não permitem... Abraço.
It will be interesting to see what customs come from this platform but I doubt a cafe racer. They designed it to compete against the American Baggers of HD and Indian and I guess they achieved their goal. But I doubt it will sell like R9Ts. The torque should be awesome and if they gave me one I would love to cruise the boulevard but it looks to be a bulky beast. I do love that chromed exposed drive shaft though. It will be interesting to see what Roland Sands does to it: if anyone can pull off a custom it would be him. Great video. 🇨🇦
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Your concept was way much better than there's
A beautiful and magnificent piece of machinery
'Kelly&Co' I totally agree, BMW R18 - "BERLIN BUILT' Deutschland/Germany. Here is a BMW Motorrad "Built in THAILAND" (not Thaiwan) Johnny - BikeSanooK straight from Bangalore (not Bangalore) czcams.com/video/ktZEIvKTfTw/video.html
Will the cylinder head not get damaged to the point of it not being usable anymore if ever the bike tips over?
I don't like the whole rear section (seat, fender, exhaust), the concept version was much more beautiful.
Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Class
I love this channel
All R18 looks incredible, but that cilinder blocks the leggs position to be more relaxed.
Nice
Acho que esse deve ser seu próximo projeto ein meu amigo !!!! Abraço
He he he. Não tenho duvidas que será uma moto bastante costumizada. Mas também temos que considerar que não é uma moto fácil, porque o sistema eléctrico e a gestão electrónica do motor, exigem bastantes conhecimentos para ser alterada. Mas há sempre alguém disposto a arriscar, mas não vou ser Eu com certeza. :) Um abraço amigo.
Bmw presented us with a brand new donor bike! 10/10 video👌🏻
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
The production bike looks great, i love it.
Crazy bike! You ar sit near the killer cardanic joint
Is all about the profit from the accessories i was hoping the production line to keep the upside down and the size of the wheels especially for the price of it i have one Yamaha xvs650 and i have customized bobber is looking almost the same but the engine is different and all the concept not more than 6000 euros.you always do excellent videos and they are so objective.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion, and for your support.. :) Cheers.
As always your videos are exquisite pieces of art. As for the motorcycle in my opiniom it looks bad. I do not understand how BMW did such a poor job after such a beautiful concept.
In my opinion looks like a mixture of pieces of Japanese motorcycles joined without any criteria. As an example the front headlight is totally common today, the previous one looked old but it was delicious for me... and these new mufflers... in my opinion no criteria at all
Eu não sei o que pensar dessa mota.eu viu o concept em verdade é eu gostei muito mais o modelo official não me fazem sonhar.mais o Racer TV está a me dar ideias para fazer uma linda máquina. Obrigado mas uma vez para esta vídeo muita interessante 😉
Can you share the specs of the parts you swapped, specially the handlebar, fork cover, headlight and rims. I am planning to get the bike, but would like to make the changes.
Mind blowing 👑👑👑
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
O meu sonho de consumo é a Café Racer BMW R 90 S By Sebastien Beaupere, postada neste canal a 6 anos atrás. Grato surpresa que pesquisando observei que acompanho a tanto tempo suas postagens. Parabéns por sempre trazer jóias raras para nosso deleite e informação. Acabei de vender a minha Triumph Tiger e agora entro no mundo vintage comprando uma Triumph Street Twin. Se tiver alguma matéria interessante deste modelo gostaria de ver. Forte abraço.
6:07 is that... R nine T version of R18? lol
it is really beautiful. i like your r18 bobber design but i like R nine T design a little bit more :) Especially, i like the change in the location of the exhaust
I’ll take the concept version and almost no modifications.
Very true what you said, the concept bike was much nicer as the factory version. No idea because BMW lost so much on the way to the production bike. I surely will no swap any of my bikes to this one, it's too ugly.
the bobber version of the R18 looks pretty much like the concept in my opinion.
It looks pretty good as a cafe racer
Thank you. I'm glad you liked my friend. :) Cheers.
love the cafe racer one.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Want this one👍👍👍
Agree. . Real candidate
I like your photo shop versions better than the original. Both versions have a lot of merit and I'm sure you will have inspired a few customises to put your ideas into metal.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
The footage was shot in cape Town South Africa, my ho.e Town. Ps love the bike. Many options.
It will be interesting to see just how the production bike can be customized, with an obvious design that begs to be changed. For me, this idea was not lost on BMW designers...
I didn’t know anything about motorcycles
But the way that explain things is mesmerizing
Now you have my attention
There is also a tiny question for me
If cafe racers are designed for quick rides over short distance, why most of cafe racers have large fuel tank?
Reminds me of an old Electolux vacuum cleaner. This is a bike you buy based 100% on style and 0% on any particular quantifiable reason.....like a few other bikes out there.
When I first saw the the original concept I thought I would buy that even though it's not my normal style, when I saw the production bike I thought I don't even want to look at that.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Same feeling here. And the short riding position ... no thanks.
It could have been so nice... such a disappointment
What happened to Vincent Vendetta...?? Subbed, and always a thumbs up!
Great video and a great transformation. I am a big fan of BMW, but to call it a R18 it should have been more "Light". I think, with this bike, they are trying to steel customers from Harley-Davidson. The colors could have been more toned down, it´s to shiny.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
I am wondering the same thing for a Honda VTX 13000c. Could it become a cafe racer?!!
Yaaaay, a BMW that looks like a Honda or Kawasaki, a truly courageous design...
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
@@RACER_TV I understand all the concerns you mentioned in the clip, about having to adjust the street legal design to a bunch of stringent laws and regulations and that the production model cannot look EXACTLY like that fabulous concept, but it often seems to me that these big companies are just playing it way too safe and trying to satisfy way too many different tastes, ending up with a product that's pretty bland. Anyway, I'm not an expert. I really enjoy your channel, thanks for the great work :)
@@vladovu yeah but to be fair the bobber version looks almost exactly like the concept anyway if you get shorter exhausts. you could order it straight like that, I don't see the problem
@@vladovu img.drivemag.net/media/default/0002/04/10-custom-bobber-5714-7702-default-large.jpeg I think it's pretty attractive
@@carlosandleon You are right, that's not bad at all.
Yeah agree
The Exhausts are shocking
The small tank does look out of place
I like your design
Thank you Steve or sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Aftermarket & part shop have a good bse to work
Not my type of bike at all, but I have to say that technicaly it’s beautifull especially knowing it’ll pass the euro 5 norms, for an air/oil cooled 1800cc that’s incredible.
this engine is very beautifull
Good basis for mod.. As you show us. It will give the opportunity to modify. Stick version is a stock version :)
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Fantastic, brutal, bestial. This bike is not for me, but I love it. Many styles can be made with it.
Your idea for a cafe racer is superb - the original R18 is very difficult to like. What BMW does with the R9T was way better. I don´t understand the bavarians.
Desde que vi a R18 pela primeira vez adorei o estilo dela e minhas críticas, na época, eram apenas referente a sua funcionalidade e ergonomia, em especial a altura do acento. Assim, minha ideia de personalização visava principalmente melhorar esse quesito ( dirigibilidade ), alterando o mínimo possível aquele design.. isso de acordo com meu critério, claro.
Talvez você discorde, mas penso mesmo que a R18 era tão icônica que nem mesmo uma customização para café racer lhe seria coerente: não que ficasse ruim, mas não seria justo com a personalidade dela.. enfim, isso seria uma outra discussão.
Mas sim, fiquei desapontado com a versão final proposta pela BMW, seja qual for dos quatro modelos apresentados: ela alterou justamente pontos chave no design, reduzindo deliberadamente a "agressividade" das linhas.. ainda mais com a substituição daquelas lindas rodas originais, como mostrou no vídeo, por essas novas.. afff.. escape, etc..
Até minha esposa torceu o nariz p/ a nova R18 quando a comparou com a antiga: imagine, até uma mulher comentou que a nova versão havia ficado, como se diz no Brasil, "coxinha.." rs..
E até onde vai meu entendimento, não concordo com a premissa de que as mudanças foram p/ contornar exigências técnicas.. talvez um ou outro item pontual apenas.
Em suma, intencional ou não, jogada comercial ou seja o que for, nesses novos tempos, a BMW parece ter pego o conceito da sua "moto de homem" e jogado na lata do lixo.. no mínimo dificultou o caminho, aumentou a distância para o resultado que queríamos.
Abraço caro amigo, até a próxima semana.
Olá Amigo. Sim, eu tambem nunca escolheria a R18 para um projecto Cafe Racer, mas para o Publico deste canal, achei que valeria a pena mostrar o potencial. Em relação às exigências técnicas que terão "estragado" o desenho original da R18, aqui vai a minha opinião. Li algures que o escapes(Escapamentos) tiveram que ser aumentados, de forma a albergar o conversor catalítico. Acredito que todas as outras alterações, são uma consequência do tamanho dos escapes, ou seja, tiveram que engordar o Para lamas traseiro, o pneu, e o assento, tudo para tentar disfarçar o enorme tamanho dos escapes. Quando ao lindo farol da frente na R18 inicial, talvez tenha havido um controle de custos de produção, ou então irão vender aquele farol futuramente, mas como uma opção mais cara, só para aumentar os lucros. Um grande abraço.
I largely agree that the cafe style looks more classy than the stock version. That tank, the profile, and the simplicity nod to a classic airhead. My only major disagreement is to have those exhaust pipes going right past the rider's upper thighs... it looks cool, infinitely more so than the bulbous exhaust ends, but scalding my thighs is a whole lot less appealing than having a bizarre exhaust shape.
Thank you my friend for sharing your opinion. :) Cheers.
Good observations. I think that they have kept reasonably close to the concept, certainly could have been much worse! Its mainly the rear guard and seat which altered the stance, and has somehow made the bike look flat, especially with a rider, it appears odd. The exhausts are an obvious oddity, why did they run with those?!
what is your style of the bike
It is a Cafe Racer.
