Prices annouced this morning

[Dahoum]

Yes I must be a time waster last time I wasted his time I bought a new GSA that's why he has invited me to ride the new model.

Touché

 

[Humbug]

And for those of us not on Farcebook???

Yes. I agree. Why the hell can't they or BMW just publish it on their bloody website. Why all the secrecy or the need to go on farkinbook?

 

[stevie Allen]

if bmw have a demo avalable it is in there intrest for people to ride it, if it is good people will buy it, lots of bikes are brought on the scheme and the rider never owns the thing anyway so the price means nowt if you can afford the monthly payment w/c on the drive.
glad i took the triumph 1200 explorer out for a demo...i thought it would be really good....
have/do what you want, you are along time looking at the lid.
only ever paid cash in full for my bikes dealers hate it, one let slip that people that pay by this method are known in the trade as dinosaurs, to which i replyed i might be a dinosaur but i i am a dinosaur that owns a bike not bmw's bitch with an agreement

I was told all the bikes right up till feb being made are for all the shops test rides and the batch after that are personnel orders march the 2nd and 3rd are the days grand opening or launch
It would be interesting to know how long you are going to have to wait for a new one if you order it then

R1200 GS E is this the replacement for the Adventure or just a stand-in until the new Adventure arrives?

 

[sven]

Well the new 2013 Kawasaki ZX636 (with ABS) is £10k

And my Yamaha Thundercat 600 was £7500 in 1997, so that's not too bad in comparison

I wont be buying one for a few years

Did you ride the mono g/s prior to buying your current GSA? BMW should have a hover bike by the time you're buying

Bike prices are ridiculous imho. I haven't had a pay rise in 7 years, so whichever way, bikes that have risen with inflation are reletively more expensive than they were 7 years ago.

With the tightening economy, surely cheaper, more economical bikes would be better. There are far more cheap cars available now than ever to complement the dearer cars. There are lots of expensive bikes, but not many good cheap ones.

I'd take a dacia duster for 10k on a rtw trip before I chose a new GS

Lighter, more powerful etc etc, just more expense. Even the bandit type bikes are feckin dear considering their old school technology. They should be able to manufacture an old oil cooled suzi motor for 35 quid now surely

You're right

When you think about it ......£13815 + Luggage costs is barmy for a bike with ABS/Active suspension etc

However plenty will be sold

Before you start that we're old whingers that can't afford to stump up for one

I can.............I choose not to

It's simple, buy the standard one with ABS at £11395, which is only £2010 more than the R1100GS cost in December 1996 (£9285 otr)
