BMW R 18 Transcontinental price in Bangladesh: verification status

MotoBikeBD searched current Bangladesh market catalogs for the BMW R 18 Transcontinental on 2026-07-23, but no sufficiently fresh and exact Bangladesh price was verified. Ask an authorized distributor to confirm launch status, availability, and the correct variant before making a payment.

No exact, fresh price page qualified for publication. This is intentionally reported as unavailable rather than estimated from another country or a different variant.

BMW R 18 Transcontinental quick verdict

Based on its recorded 1802 cc engine, Cruiser format, and listed equipment, the BMW R 18 Transcontinental is a style-and-comfort-led option for riders who prefer relaxed ergonomics and steady road manners over compact city agility. The decision should be based on the exact Bangladesh variant, a physical test ride, and confirmed local support—not specifications alone.

Engine, performance, and everyday use

The catalog records an Air/oil-cooled two-cylinder four-stroke boxer engine with two chain-driven camshafts above the crankshaft engine with 91 hp @ 4750 RPM of power and 158 Nm @ 3000 RPM of torque. Transmission is recorded as 6-speed helical-toothed gearbox with 6 gears. The fuel system is recorded as Electronic intake pipe injection.

The catalog records mileage as 17 Kmpl (Claimed). Top speed is recorded as 180 Kmph (Limited). These are reference figures rather than promises: traffic, rider and load, tyre pressure, fuel quality, maintenance, weather, and test method can change real-world results.

Comfort and Bangladesh-road practicality

Useful fit measurements include 740 mm seat height, 427 kg kerb weight, 24 L fuel capacity. Riders should check reach to the ground, handlebar position, pillion space, low-speed balance, and suspension response on a test ride.

For this type of motorcycle, pay particular attention to seat support, turning radius, kerb weight, ground clearance, pillion comfort, and parts availability. A specification that looks suitable online can feel very different in Dhaka traffic, on broken district roads, or with a regular pillion.

Braking, tyres, and safety equipment

The recorded braking setup is Dual Disc at the front and Single Disc at the rear. Listed rider equipment includes Dual-Channel (BMW Motorrad Full Integral ABS) ABS, Full Integral ABS, traction control, a side-stand engine cut-off. Tyres are recorded as 120/70 B19 front and 180/65 B16 rear.

ABS and other rider aids can support control, but they cannot replace training, safe speed, correct tyres, protective equipment, and defensive riding. Confirm that the showroom bike has the same braking variant described on this page.

Notable recorded features

  • Full Integral ABS
  • Automatic Stability Control (ASC)
  • 10.25-inch TFT Display
  • Marshall Sound System
  • Riding Modes (Rock
  • Roll
  • Rain)
  • Heated Seats

Distributor and ownership support

The catalog records Executive Motors Limited as the distributor, with brand origin listed as Germany, manufacturing as Germany, and assembly as Germany. Distributor arrangements can change, especially for imported or discontinued models, so verify the current authorized sales and warranty channel before purchase.

Who should consider the BMW R 18 Transcontinental?

  • You prefer a relaxed riding posture and measured power delivery.
  • You are comfortable managing its weight in traffic and parking spaces.
  • The local distributor can support model-specific service and parts.

Checks before booking

  • Ask for a written quotation showing the exact variant, cash price, registration, insurance, finance charges, and delivery date.
  • Match the showroom motorcycle's engine, braking system, color, model year, and included equipment against the quotation.
  • Confirm warranty coverage, scheduled-service costs, consumable prices, and parts lead times.
  • Test the clutch or throttle response, low-speed steering, braking feel, seat comfort, mirrors, and pillion space.
  • Never send a booking payment to an unverified personal account; use an authorized seller and keep the receipt.
