The base bike (with no additional features) costs roughly 14500 EUR (19500 USD), but none of the bikes go out of the dealer's door like this. Most of the bikes are equipped with additional features and end up at a price of 16-17000 EUR (21500-23000 USD).
Again ... above 20000 USD and best sold bike!
Why?
Because it is for the middle age people ... and they have money.
BMW's are not what their cracked up to be.Yes,The Germans
are the mechanics and the French the cooks.The Italians are
the lovers.
Go to master BMW mechanic Chris Harris at YouTube.
Type in - Chris Harris motorcycle -.
Hear him cuss out BMW for a lot of stuff.
BMW also charges way to much.
Take the 10 year or older BMW Montana priced at $ 15,990.
With a 1200 c engine { 1170 cc } and compare to a
Harley T-sport at $ 14,720.With a TC 88 engine { 1450 cc}
