Which brings me, naturally enough, to the new R18, BMW’s first cruiser since the ill-fated R1200C in 1997. Start up, it kicks to one side just to remind you it’s a BMW boxer, and the air fills with a gloriously subterranean grumble. But then you can just stand and admire the bike for a bit before getting back on. It has now replaced the 2012 Victory Cross Roads Classic Limited Edition as my most beautiful bike in the world, and the Royal Enfield Interceptor as my favourite bike of all time.
