I wishSorry misunderstood, thought you had a Shop service manual
Got a Price quote with taxes 434 for 600 mile serviceNot bad.
I paid $480.15 for my first 600mile service.I had them change all the fluids so,it was a bit extra.
I checked my valve adjustment and they charged me $176.14
That would have put me $656.29 if I would have had them do both together.
btw,I do shop around and the dealer where I bought my bike is more reasonable.I do have a manual and know about the service intervals.Wish the prices were listed.
Good day
Curious about this too. I got my B (both tech packages, adaptive cruise) for <20k. Judging by them coming out with 4 model variations (two newest of which required a complete overhaul), I would assume they're trying to get enough on the streets for it to be a thing people see and get some aftermarket support going. It may honestly be a combination of 1) what I said, and 2) them dipping their toes in Harley prices, realizing it wasn't going to move units, and deciding to "stack em high and watch em fly" for now to get some market share and recognition.I got a decent deal on my B a while back, but the dealership has slashed the prices this week. Win some, lose some.
Arent the sales for the R18 line pretty good for BMW so far?
I bought my HD Fat Bob in 2019 for $19,500 CAD, I asked why it was so much off an it was to make room for new stock. My hunch is BMW are doing the same.Curious about this too.

This is my 3rd BMW since 2014, and I've never owned a cruiser/heavy bike. I gave the two first iterations a glance when I got my R9T last year, but wasn't sold on the style yet. Fast forward a year, putting way more miles on the R9T than assumed (coming back from a two year hiatus after being creamed on my GS) and really wanted my wife to be willing to ride a day with me. R9T wasn't really up to the task in terms of comfort, storage, etc. I started shopping Harley casually, street/road glides, but anything close to what I wanted was 30k+. Randomly stumbled onto the current BMW incentives, saw the B/TC had been added to the lineup, and went from casually shopping Harley to owning the B in a few weeks time.
Back from that tangent, compared to the competition, at least the B/TC (never really shopped standard or classic) are pretty amazing value propositions at 25k or less. Indian doesn't have the fit/finish, and Harley is really proud of their merchandise, with fit/finish similar to BMW. BMW has a pretty terrible dealer network (for those of us not city folk) in the US, but it's really hard not to love the R18 for nearly retail compared to the competition.
Yea, they may have overestimated sales, be trying to get market share, et all. The dealer I bought from had over 20 2022 R18s in stock across the 4 model variations. Compare that with 5 or less of any other model. Granted, they probably know exactly how many GS/RTs they're going to sell, but definitely makes the negotiation easier when 2023 bikes are en route lol.I bought my HD Fat Bob in 2019 for $19,500 CAD, I asked why it was so much off an it was to make room for new stock.
