Thank you! I think once we’re back in New Hampshire, I’ll grab a base R18 and it’ll be a fun weekend bike. It’s a fun motor, I love everything about the design. I just didn’t need a big touring bike. Combined with the crazy insurance and registration costs in NC, this is for the best. I’m...

Looks like $12K was the right price. It sold today with the only delay being that when I paid the bike off in AUGUST, it took BMW Financial 3 months to write me a letter acknowledging payoff. I thought the title was coming...waited another month and called them "oh we sent you a letter it was...

This is closed. Sold today to a guy as his 58th motorcycle.

REPORTED! :P

You can report your first post and request it for sure. I’m sorry we upset you. I honestly thought it’d be a fun new oil thread and not cause you stress. I’m sorry.

You should just unfollow the thread but check back in 2-3 years when people are still discussing this.

Uh-Oh, oil thread. I use BMW oil for 600 mile service and again fro 6,000 mile and keep receipts. After that, I use the oil that meets spec which and is affordable. I get 50% off Motul oil through a sponsorship so I use their oil that meets spec & weight for all of my bikes. No issues.

Exactly how I feel. I’ll have gotten $24K for a bike I paid $21,500 for and the next owner will get a bike that will be almost at the bottom of depreciation in 2-3 years with up to date service and warranty. I feel good about the pricing. I should have it sold in about a week.

Hi all, I have been paid out by insurance and dropped the price on CycleTrader. I’ve now had about 10 bites (from 2 before the price drop) and 3 people are very interested in coming to check it out. No One has offered less than $12,000 yet which is a good sign that I priced it to move. Also no...

Nice. I’m looking forward to seeing after photos. The Roctane is VERY nice.

I’ve been renting my bikes out on TwistedRoad for 5 years. Probably nets around $250 a month so not much money but not nothing. This is the first incident I’ve had and the company took care of it. No questions asked just get a quote and they cut me a check.

Just answering your first question. Absolutely not. I’ve always serviced cars and bikes before sale and the price is never higher than if they were not sorted.

I have no clue what you’re talking about. Why would the person buying the bike have to service a bike that was recently serviced? Why did I add $105 in taxes when you buy it? Are you buying the bike? I’m going to need a spreadsheet. In most states, the sale price doesn’t dictate the use tax...

About 6200 miles and I just spent around $1000 on the 6000 mile service and a Pre-purchase inspection for anyone who wants to buy it. It's listed on Cycle Trader for $12K.

This isn't my first Insurance claim with a BMW Motorcycle. I've always covered my butt and most of the time, BMWs are totaled unless they're pretty new. A GS Comp on my 2018 would come around $12-14K. Body parts, a wheel and some luggage will easily hit that. Anytime you low-side any BMW over 5...

I rent all of my motorcycles online. Anyone can rent them so long as the company I use vets the drivers and insurance is something the rider buys. A young guy shows up on an SV650 and rents my R18 for the day. Pretty typical. I rent my bikes quite often…also, I really don’t want this to turn...

I'm going to report my own post but could we keep demographics out of this? Millennials are in their 40s now and make up a large portion of the tax base funding social security and medicare. Maybe it's time to lay off the middle-age people for being whiney and entitled? There are whiney and...

I guess we're getting semantic. I said they're listed for $16K. Some are listed for $18K. I can tell you I've had 3 people offer me $17K for mine so I'm not speculating. I guess you can add variances regarding regional differences and that mine has aftermarket lights. Listings are $16-18K and...

I was offered $12,500 for a bagger at BMW Charlotte with 6K on the ODO. I paid $20,500 and owe $15,000. That was the end of that conversation. That was with the 6,000 mile service completed and paid for by me. I have it listed for sale but used, these are going for $16K privately…well listed...
