Achtung Annie! BMW 'Iron Annie' R18

Motorcycle Sport & Leisure

|

May 2023

BMW is 100 years old this year, and it’s cranking up the heritage with plenty of special limited-edition machinery to celebrate. It’s also keen to push the appeal of its mighty R18 mega-Boxer cruiser – and this one-off custom special from a Swiss BMW dealer definitely catches the eye.

Achtung Annie! BMW 'Iron Annie' R18

The inspiration is another BMW-powered machine: the venerable Junkers Ju-52 transport plane that first flew in the 1930s. Sporting three Bavarian-built BMW 132 radial engines, the Ju-52 played a massive part in early transport aviation, and was also a trusty – if vulnerable – workhorse for the Luftwaffe in WW2.

Some Like it Hot All about heated clothing

Being cold on a motorcycle isn't just unpleasant, it's potentially dangerous! The human body is designed to maintain a stable internal temperature of around 37°c. When it drops by just a couple of degrees, hypothermia starts to kick in, causing symptoms including shivering, mild confusion, lack of coordination/fumbling hands and drowsiness. None of which help you control a bike. And that's only mild hypothermia!

As another chunk of monthly mileage takes my NT1100 over the 10,000-mile mark, I assess my current and future relationship with it. Overall, the Honda gets a good score, with a similar vote coming from a fellow owner.
