Bmw r-series in ghana

A long wait, a few teasers and even the publication of the 1802cc Big Boxer - and now BMW Motorrad finally announces the R 18. However, only virtually. He's big, he's expensive, and he's a BMW cruiser. Sounds too much like an April Fool's Day joke, but nonetheless ... BMW's dreams of a super duper opposite have finally come true. Moreover, their implementation raises a lot of questions. For example, what market did they make it for? It is understood that for the North American - apparently, the Bavarians for some reason thought that America does not have enough cruisers. Well, okay, maybe not enough - but there are local producers who know this market best of all, simply because they are the ones who shape it. Will Americans choose imported goods instead of their own, home, native? Another question. Why opposed with dual (liquid and oil) cooling system? Was the task really just to make the largest possible opposite at any cost? You may think that I'm cruel to BMW, but that's only because the R 18 is not the bike that I would like to see from them.  Bmw r-series in ghana After all, they already tried to make cruisers - and these were extremely niche devices, in fact, disastrous in terms of sales. But stop grumbling - let's get down to specifics. The engine of this model weighs 110 kg! It is the largest and most powerful boxer ever made by BMW, with a piston diameter of 107.1 mm and a stroke of 100 mm and a compression ratio of 9.6: 1. It produces 91 horses at 4,750 rpm and 157 Nm of thrust at 3,000 rpm. The cutoff occurs at 5750 rpm. The engine has two lower camshafts, valves are located in the heads and are driven by pushers. A significant difference between this engine and past BMW units is that they installed a third main bearing in it to prevent crankshaft bending. Just imagine how they came to this idea: apparently, when testing Big Boxer prototypes, they had something incredible going on. The engine is housed in a duplex steel frame with carefully calculated rigidity. The monoshock on which the swingarm is suspended runs under the seat, much like the new Softail or Triumph Bobber. The front wheel is housed in a 49mm telescopic fork with adjustable spring preload. The final transfer is cardan. What else to expect from BMW? Landing on a motorcycle is predominantly driven by a huge engine. The footpegs are forced to have a middle position, and the handlebars are bent rather strongly towards the rider. The seat is approximately level with the top of the engine - 69 cm from the ground. Moving the platforms forward will not work, unless, of course, they are attached to the valve covers. Compared to other modern BMW models, the R 18 is technically rather sparsely equipped. It has three driving modes, keyless entry, ABS, stability control, and engine braking control. Help on the slope is optionally available, as well as reverse, which is activated by a special switch and carried out using an electric starter. All lighting equipment is diode, including a unique headlight. The R 18 can also be optionally equipped with an adaptive headlight - i.e. cornering lights, which use tilt sensors to activate sidelight sources hidden in the headlamp. The design of the BMW R 18 is best described by a quote from BMW press material: Like no other BMW motorcycle, this model draws entirely on the tradition of historic BMW motorcycles - both technically and in terms of design. How can it be that a motorcycle is at the same time different from other models, and at the same time based on tradition? I don’t know how to explain it on the fingers, but the BMW R 18 is the best answer to this question. This motorcycle consists entirely of typical BMW solutions minus the class and physical size of the engine. To make the BMW R 18 interesting for cruiser fans who love aftermarket and customization, BMW has made the R 18 "highly customizable" - that is, a good base for customization by both the owner and the workshop. The rear subframe is removable and BMW is ready to sell you a whole catalog of easy-to-fit options right now. The exterior of the engine. Even with its cubic capacity and weight, this engine is built to stand out. A lot of ugly engines are being produced today - and this one does not apply to them. It is clearly and distinctly different from the motors that are designed to hide under the hood ... and are ultimately put on naked. https://cars45.com.gh/listing/bmw/r-series
