Question Model year changes

[Bwana]

So I did a search and didn't find anything. Is there a post (or another site) that lists the R18's changes model year by model year?

Apart from colour, wasn’t the only change made in the transition from 24-25 models?

With the Pure it was seat, suspension, rim size, charger points, seat, torque, ‘Blacked Out’ and black chrome options, rim design, exposed forks, slight headlight change, f&r guards, side covers.
The Roctane had upgraded rear suspension, torque, charger points and more black chrome.
I’m not sure about the ‘B’.

Yeah, that!

It's funny, you can find those kind of lists for, say, E46 model year changes, etc. Nothing for the bikes... Unless my searchfu has drastically failed me.

I believe in 2025 there was a change on all R18 ECU tuning. Torque increased slightly - no Horsepower changes.

I thought that they were all listed on all BMW websites?

There was. It was due to the Euro 642098827th change. Nearly all manufacturers had Hp or torque increases on a range of bikes last year. Mine is now 163Nm.

Not as far as I know. If you look now they list the 25 model only. But, if go build a classic, the bike looks different from the model page. I believe it was missing the aux lights.

Emissions changes?

Emissions changes?

Yep… Hug a tree, kiss a greenie, identify as a dog, pray to the moon and our planet will be saved from evil motorcycle emissions.
