Munich. Experience the beauty of nature for eight
days on the
“Big Boxer” motorbikes of the R 18 family,
enjoy the freedom of endless expanses, immerse yourself in the urban
jungle, sometimes discover the unexpected and leave the stress of
everyday life behind. In “The Great Getaway”, BMW Motorrad
will be offering the perfectly organised travel format for a perfect
time-out, arranged and carried out by BMW Motorrad partner Elephant Moto.
For the 2022 motorcycle season, three inspiring destinations
have been planned to provide riders with outstanding motorcycling
pleasure in heritage style: Costa Rica, Portugal and the USA. Each
tour includes eight days of riding on motorcycles from the R18 family,
a tour guide, hotel accommodation and meals, support vehicle and an
extensive social programme. In short: everything has been thought of.
The “Big Boxers” will be cruisng along rugged coasts,
through dense forests and past mountains and waterfalls. The
participants will get to know hidden places and exciting people,
indulge in local and international cuisine and recharge their
batteries for the next day in accommodation specially tailored to the tours.
With a maximum of twelve participants per tour, the 150 to 200
kilometre daily stages guarantee speedy progress on the road, great
fun together in the evening and an intensive shared experience on the
“Urban Day”, where the participants get to immerse
themselves in the melting pot of famous cities: San José in Costa
Rica, Lisbon in Portugal and Portland/Oregon in the USA.
New, intense impressions await the participants at every turn:
pulsating life, foreign scents, spectacular architecture, even the
soundscape is never the same. After all, every city has its own
rhythm. And you meet the people who make the city’s heartbeat. For
example, when visiting a handcrafter or a local market.
After dinner, the day ends in a variety of ways. For example,
with a whiskey tasting, cocktails “on the roof” or live
music, before everyone is back in the saddle the next morning:
“The Great Getaway – start your R 18, please!” Eight days
of unforgettable riding pleasure combined with impressive experiences
await the participants.
The time slots for “The Great Getaway” are:
1. Costa Rica, March 2022
2. Portugal, April to June 2022
3. USA, August to October 2022
