The iconic 2-cylinder boxer engine can generate a maximum power output of 92 PS and offer a peak torque of 157 Nm. Although the exact performance specifications of the motorcycle have not been revealed yet, the BMW R18 Dragster is expected to offer similar figures.
Sands changed bike rear to modify it into the drag racer. The front and rear of the motorcycle had to be upgraded to fit in the modified frame.
R18 Dragster took 3 and a half months to come into existence.
“The electronics were definitely the most difficult task we had to deal with as we put in nitrous oxide, stripped out the stock exhaust and changed the intake drastically. It was a bit of an experiment, but we dialed it in! The final product is impressive and characterised by a high level of craftsmanship, as can be expected from BMW Motorrad. Right from the beginning, I couldn’t wait to get customizing,” said Roland Sands, designer of the R18 Dragster.
