Just trying to present another possibility to counter something stated as “Fact”.
It wouldn’t surprise me that making it easier for future customers to have a look at a new machine with more of them out on the road……especially when the limited dealerships compared with other brands.
Whatever the reason, looks like a good time to buy an R18 if one was thinking about a purchase.

Agreed. I am converting SO many Harley riders to the R18's. If you do BMW Easyride financing, some states are offering up to $6800 in easyride credit. It has never been a better time to buy an R18!

Just got my R18B last Friday. Rode it home Friday night and rode it to and from work (55+ miles each way) on Monday (been too cold and wet for me since then).
Likes:
Low center of gravity
Heated seats and grips
Different ride modes
Dislikes:
None really just yet.
Am getting used to NOT stretching my legs out but that's not terrible and my lower back really enjoys the posture change (that is significant in itself).
I DO wish the windshield was a little higher to keep the wind off a bit more, but feel that's just me.
I suppose you could put the R18TC windscreen on or maybe there are options now.
Where'd you get those highway bars? Been looking for a set for mine. Did you have to move the horn to another location? On mine, the horn is on the left hand side, right where the horn should be.
Top 3:
1. Looks
2. Gas Mileage
3. Looks (pretty much what this bike is for, isnt it?)
Bottom 3:
1. Thought it was to have phone charging in the holder, but its just a fan.
2. Free Sirius ran out after a year.
3. Gas filler centered over frame tube so cant get nozzle in for those pumps with anti-pollution stuff.
Bike has over 8k on it (second R18, the Bagger) and has been on a few long trips. May have to look into a different seat, but its tolerable. First bike I bought, where I went straight to the detailing shelves to get cleaner, polish and rags.

USA’s cruiser/touring market is apparently still an uphill climb for BMW.
$6900 (33%) off MSRP, 0.0% financing and BMW pays your first four payments.
BMW has to be losing money on every one no? On a $20K bike what could their
profit be? $3,500?

I get torn with great deals. I wish this was 5 or 10 years ago. I want to retire from my current job in a year and change, go to grad school and start a different career to do until I am no longer extant. This will impact my ability and desire to take on more debt approaching that. I still have a car payment and I hope to pay that off in the next couple years and I already have bike. If circumstances were different, I'd get a B.
At that price, it would be hard to walk away!!
Always be ready to walk away from anything. If you can't, at least be honest without yourself as to why and accept it.
I absolutely agree. That’s A LOT of motorcycle for 13.7! Good thing I’m not in the market for an 800lb machine in my senior years.

Really had to jump on the deal as well. Just sold a HD to a friend so thought I was down to one bike ('22 R1250 GSA). That didn't last long, but I do enjoy the torquey cruiser aspect of the R18. Got the Mustang seat thrown in at price and I think that really helps comfort wise. Ordered Vance&Hines pipes but won't see them until the end of October so the accessory market will have to catch up I hope? Been a bit warm here in AZ so just get it out on weekends and still ride the GS daily though....R18C.jpg
Looks great!

I live up in Phoenix and it's been too hot to ride for me. Cool bike, good luck with it.
