Wow!!!!

I like the bike stripped down, for me there is enough going on....

I just texted my attorney.....She's in LA.

Where are you, I'm gonna try to find you a decent attorney.

I wouldn't bother, because aside from empathizing with you, there is nothing we can do. We get it....don't put any more energy into justifying your claims with us. Put that energy into any type of solution. Part of the "solution" might be to get yourself grounded .. clear your head if...

Good advice. It Is the dealership that is the problem in this case. We have the Better Business Bureau, DMV perhaps due to the safety factor in selling a bike like this and the misrepresentations made, and there must be consumer advocacy groups that could possibly help. But yeah, good point...

The only other thing we can do as BMW customers....is to ALL sign on to a letter to the director of BMW Motorrad asking for an explanation on his behalf. I am ore than happy to do that.....maybe IF there is enough of us he'll get a response.... This could have happened to any one of us.....

Unfortunately it doesn't sound like Motorrad will do jack shit for him.....No matter what.... Best bet....get a real attorney or hire someone to do a scathing full blown social media kill piece on BMW and the dealer. If there is public parking in front of the dealer, park the bike there with...

This is like one of the early cases in the used car business that was responsible for all the consumer protection laws and regulations. I would never get on that bike again. Find a decent attorney, there must be one somewhere...If you don't want to incur the costs of a legal battle, take the...

Big picture...sounds like the Mob owns this dealership...get the $$$ then F off!! So what is the plan? Did you say you had an attorney originally that claimed best he could do is recover your costs? I don't think you need to elaborate to the group further about what happened. What are your...

No need to continue on my account. I just wanted to make certain I hadn't missed anything. You bought the bike brand new is THE only thing I wanted to confirm. Just wondering if they did a bait and switch with you.... Show you a crated bike, deliver a completely different bike to you....? In...

Can we get a few more details?? Thanks.

Irodemine, Can you respond please to my question #20 on the chain? Concerning exactly how you purchased and took delivery of the bike? It was brand new from the dealer supposedly..?? Correct?? This "issue" your dealing with should be of concern to R18 owners in general.....If this is how...

The fit, finish, and quality control .....leaving aside the occasional mechanical issue they normally take care of immediately, IS the reason most of us buy these damn things. As I said....there are MUCH cheaper bikes that are faster, may handle better, stop better, are as comfortable or more...

I think everyone following this agrees there is no way in hell this bike left the factory this way. And dropping it during transport would not cause this. This bike was severely damaged and thrown half ass back together. And that doesn't even answer the question of why some of the parts they...

So to be clear....you bought the bike brand new from a dealer? And I am by no means doubting anything you've said or the pics you've posted. You spent you life in the car business, how did you take delivery with the bike in this condition ?? Did you get chance to inspect the bike before you...

I'm 67....A year ago I sold my tricked out Harley, a few months ago my mint cond. BMW R9T. My business was destroyed by the Covid worldwide shutdown and ensuing F'ed up economy. I was too depressed to ride... While standing in the showroom of the dealer I sold my R9T to I was starting to see...

I'm speechless. Not only do the parts seem thrown back together, they seem worn or used to some degree..... Never seen anything like this....ever!!!

Part of the reason we buy these bikes is the tooling and finish. There are faster bikes, cheaper bikes, better handling bikes, you name it, but in theory a BMW is a beautifully crafted fine machine. There should not be even ONE spot on a brand new R18. Nothing, zip, nada. IRODEMINE's bike...

Irodemine, Wow man....this is completely F'ed!!!! Really sorry to hear this. Not a F'ing thing on your bike should be ANYTHING but pristine DIRECTLY from the factory!!! PERIOD, END of conversation!!!! I was in the car business for two decades...sales, finance, management. I worked for two...
