R18 Anniversary Edition
I was glad to snag an R18 anniversary edition, so no regrets.

But my eyes started bugging out when I saw the current prices on left over 2023 models at dealerships!
New R18’s for $7k at Gateway BMW in St Louis. I could have more than two for the price I paid. No regrets though in that I am content on my boxer cruiser.
 
Some slightly used Bs and TCs can be found for perversely low prices right now. Saw a TC with some dumb low miles for like $12k. Buyers’ paradise right now!

Looking at Gateway’s site. ~$8k dealer incentives on the R18s. Oof! Doing everything they can to not just put the key on the seats and leave em in the lot overnight.

And with no clear info on whether 2025 models are coming. Wild wild wild.
 
It’s crazy. I have no need of another R18, but good grief it occurred to me to visit Gateway.

I agree with you. I went in to have the recalls done on my TC and saw 23 TCs marked down to $14,500. I could not believe it. Before I noticed the price, I thought about trading my 22 for a Blue 23. The blue matches my truck... Otherwise, I am happy with my 22 TC. I figured they would not give me what I owe on the trade, so I never asked...
 
BMW bikes always look great. Even their blacks look better than other brand's blacks.
That said, I like color better and then saw this new 2023 Transcontinental for $16k.
This is a nice looking bike for $16k. Are they kidding?

Yeah, the left over 2023 R18's are the best value in motorcycling right now. If I didn't have one, I would totally be buying one!

Got me wanting to buy a spare, they’re so cheap right now!
