The BMW R18 Roctane was profiled in a catalog feature on current imported models sold in Japan. Priced at 2,837,000 yen, its 1801cc boxer twin makes 91PS at 4,750rpm and 163N·m at 3,000rpm, with a curb weight of 384kg. The hot-rod styling includes an enlarged 3.50-21 front wheel and ape-hanger bars.

Checking the spec sheet, that 1801cc boxer twin puts out 91PS at 4,750rpm and 163N·m at 3,000rpm. What gets me is they only fattened the front to a 3.50-21 to nail that hot-rod stance. I can't stop wondering how 384kg of curb weight settles onto a tire that size. Someone who's actually ridden it — I need to read that write-up.

That fat 3.50-21 front tire throwing off the proportions is peak Roctane — the styling really commits.

384kg is a lot of weight to be calling itself a hot rod, honestly.

Wonder how it handles compared to a Harley Softail in terms of low-speed maneuvering.

¥2.837M is about expected for an imported cruiser — curious how it compares to other R18 variants.

91PS from 1801cc looks modest on paper — this is clearly a torque-first ride at 163N·m.

A boxer twin in a cruiser is basically a BMW-only move at this point.
