| BMW's profilation of this bike |
| Roland Sands is known for his daring designs with racing influences. He combines styles and knows no limits. When modifying the R 18, he drew inspiration from his father’s drag racing days: He reduces the mighty cruiser to the essentials and gears it up for maximum speed on drag strips. The result is a straight-line dragster with an iconic boxer engine – the R 18 Dragster. |
