That's great Long Ranger! So, I guess the dealers that want us to believe there's only a couple hundred dollars profit on a new bike sale are full of it.
I'm guessing sales are down not only because of the price of new bikes, it's that word has gotten out that having your BMW serviced by the dealers is outrageously priced too. And then there's the out of warranty repair costs that has people paying $2K for a final drive and $4K for a clutch.
(I don't mean to sound like a brand basher or criticize anyone's choices. Just stating what I know to be true. I've owned 7 or 8 BMW bikes in the past 20 years and am an officer in a BMW club)
