I saw one last weekend at the Washington DC show that a dealer had. Much smaller then I expected, build quality seemed very high, also appeared to draw a lot of interest. Very glad they came out with something like this even though I will never own one because of a very bad lower back. It's a shame BMW didn't do all the Cycle World Shows this year to showcase this bike like Ducati is doing with the Multi Strada. Those of you going to New York this weekend should see the BMW products there..........I hope they decide to make it to the Cycle World Show in Daytona where I would think they would draw a large crowd.
You might want to read this months article in ON and the interview with MR. De Waal. It fully explains why they decided to build it.Oh great another crotch rocket. BMW looses market share because they are making bikes for 22 yr olds who can't afford them.

This bike should attract new to the BMW Marquee riders. Some of them may want to join the club, that could increase advertising. Sharing of tech expertise would be a great value to the owners. Even if there were few users, the cost of adding a specific forum is pretty low I would think.

This is a 16K bike give or take because to use its capability takes the expensive electronic option. So its more than any of the J bikes. Comparing bases prices is not a useful price comparison.
First, though, they need to join the MOA. And to make that happen, we need to have a compelling reason for them to do so.
Based on the reviews, it's at least the equal of the competitors without the gadgets.
Think there will be any available without the "gadgets" in the showrooms? At least for a while.
