Lastly, the R 18 Transcontinental comes standard with the striking Two-Tone Dragonfire Red Metallic paint and improved rider controls, making it an appealing choice for those seeking both style and functionality.
The 2025 lineup features a variety of finishes, including the new Brooklyn Gray Metallic and Option 719 Olivine.
