“Stripped” vehicles whether a motorcycle or car are pretty much a thing of the past........ Like RV’s without a slide room. You can probably order what you want (don’t want) from a dealer but I would expect a healthy deposit would be needed.
Next time at a dealer, ask about ordering a stripper then ask about resale value in 5 years. Should answer all your questions.
I’m sure most everyone remember trading a car where you “added for air” or “add for automatic”, now missing either is a deduction.

Next time you can see the details of a J.D. Powers reliability report for BMW motorcycles pay particular attention to what the nature of the complaints about failures are. Last time I looked the leading issues were: Blue tooth, traction control, instrumentation, navigation system, and other peripheral devices. Very little engine or driveline, but some suspension complaints, and occasional engine management complaints related to modes. A careful analysis of this data will illuminate why some folks prefer a more basic motorcycle.
