What's New?
The BMW R 18 Transcontinental, like the other BMW models we discussed earlier (R nineT Scrambler, R 1250 R, and M 1000 R), doesn't have a separate STD (standard) variant. The base model itself, simply called the BMW R 18 Transcontinental, is the most well-equipped and feature-rich version that embodies the essence of this luxurious touring motorcycle. Powerful Engine and Shaft Drive: The massive 1,802cc air-cooled boxer engine delivers ample power for effortless cruising and strong acceleration, while the shaft drive system ensures low maintenance and smooth power delivery on long rides. Luxurious Comfort Features: Both rider and passenger benefit from comfortable seating with adjustable backrests, excellent wind protection, a large capacity integrated top case and side cases for storage, features like cruise control and heated seats, and a reverse gear for added convenience.

Verdict
The R 18 Transcontinental STD is not an outright street hooligan if that's what you're expecting. But it does the job very well, and if it's the manageable and reliable roadster you're looking to upgrade to, by all means, go and take a test ride! It may not give you an adrenaline rush, but it's no slouch either, and will keep you happy on most occasions. Whether you bring it home or not, it will certainly have you thinking about it, long after that first ride!
R 18 Transcontinental STD
The R 18 Transcontinental STD offers a premium motorcycling experience at a more attainable price point. Does it tick all the right boxes?
How’s the design?
The latest version of the R 18 Transcontinental STD comes with a redesigned front fascia with a more contemporary headlamp cluster and LED lighting. There is a daytime running light (DRL) too for the bike while there are four-point adjustable levers, brakes and clutch. There is a new paint theme while the tail lights also get LEDs along with the turn indicators. The exhaust is quite similar to the one seen in the TVS Apache RR310. The bike looks and feels bigger than it actually is.
How is the performance?
The R 18 Transcontinental STD has a 313 cc DOHC liquid cooled engine that makes 34 hp and 28 Nm of maximum torque. The engine is also paired to a 6-speed transmission system along with a slipper clutch. There is automatic idle boost for the engine and it sounds a little off-key at the beginning.
