The R 18 100 Years edition comes in a similar chrome and black look with double white pin-striping. The seat is also two-toned black and oxblood red, but is embossed with a diamond pattern. BMW calls the black color “Avus Black,” named for a 12.1-mile long high speed race track west of Berlin.

Breaking up the black look is a number of chrome parts including the hand and foot levers, handlebar clamps, handlebar weights, mirrors, brake master cylinders, brake calipers, engine cover, cylinder head covers, and intake manifold covers.

The R 18 100 Years also comes with a chromed Akrapovič exhaust with a perforated tailpipe trim shaped like the BMW logo.

Standard features include Automatic Stability Control, Headlight Pro, cruise control and heated grips. Floorboards and an anti-theft system are available as dealer installed accessories.
