Kingston Custom wants to get back to basics. Simplicity is key, but not too much.
By removing modern electronics, its creators wanted to create a truly retro experience with the BMW R18. What he did with this bike was even crazier.
That's right. This is the BMW R18 without any modern technology. Modern technology is included in the fuel injection system.
The carburettor system has been replaced. My personal opinion is that the 1,800 cc engine of the R18 may not be much different from the original since it consumes quite a bit of oil. It will just be extra large emissions.
Kurt Alexander Engelhorn, who hosted the St. Moritz Automobile Week, placed an order for the Kingston Custom R 18. The R 18's large engine capacity of up to 900ccs per piston made a single carburettor insufficient on the two-valve boxer models until the mid-90s. the bureau
Because all modern technology has been removed, the bike looks smooth and clear. Add a whole new color scheme and chrome plating to the bike. A fuel-injected BMW R 18 carburettor that produces just 84 horsepower is the "downgrade/upgrade".
According to Dirk Oehlerking, the fuel-injected model made 91 horsepower. Bing's carburetor kit was the first to be used on a BMW R 18 called "Good Vibes."
