I’d kinda like a new bike. I really like the 1250’s but this new bike looks good as well. As I’m not getting any younger, I need a lower, more comfortable seat.
I think on a lot of HD’s the seat heights are 8”-10” lower. Might even be able to-

Perhaps these new bikes may be more attractive to the younger crowd but how many young people are buying motorcycles these days and how many can afford a $30K+ bike?
Looking at the market as a whole and the slumping sales numbers, I doubt that the young crowds are rushing to the dealers and gobbling up these overpriced machines…

I don’t really see the bikes as overpriced. As more and more riders want the latest technology and their bikes having the same features as their car, the costs will increase.
I still think of the Captain America bike as the epitome of pure motorcycling-

How much is the Captain America bike worth?

$1.35 million

And when it reached $1.35 million at an auction, it was the highest price ever garnered for a motorcycle. But there are a few caveats to the story. The most well-known is the controversy over the authenticity of any Captain America bike, including the high-priced auction piece.April 9, 2024
Not sure if anyone actually rides the million + dollar bike. Easy Rider came out in ‘69. Bound to be some wear and tear.

And yet, a banana duct-taped to the wall is worth $6,000,000…

Still, the elephant in the CPU remains: It has been more than four years since the introduction of the big TFT display and the so-called Motorrad Connected app -- and it STILL does not work as advertised! (My reference is my 2021 RT)

Has Berlin finally fixed this system?

If so, when will BMW get the fix to the many of us whom have never been able to enjoy all the features of the bike they purchased?

Lesson learned: Never buy anything in its first model year.

Lesson learned: Never buy anything in its first model year.

Or in this case, first, second, third, or fourth year.
