I did do a constant dollar price comparison with the price I paid for a new R100RS in Dec 1983, and the prices are the same ... making the new bike quite a bargain and quite an accomplishment by BMW.
I agree with you on the inflation adjusted price. The current prices are similar to those of the mid 1980.
However, I'm still finalizing my opinion of the build quality and design. The plastic in the mid 1980's was mostly fiberglass and the paint on the tank was a work of art. Today, there's lots of plastic covering lots of "none too pretty" welds.
