Hum…so is this a deal to get the pre=paid maintenance package? Not sure my dealer mentioned it though if did I failed to realize it.I bought the pre-paid maintenance package when I got the bike. Break in service on my TC would have been $450.75 at my dealership, BMW of The Woodlands Texas.
RevZilla has a really great deal on the Schuberth C4 Pro if looking for a flip-up full face helmet; I have a C4 Pro Carbon, which was my primary helmet when riding my GS Adventure; now I mostly wear a 2/3 helmet.

As far as dragging floorboards; I have only scuffed the sacrificial nub on each of my floorboards while riding some curvy roads. I typically practice making tight U-turns, especially since owning the B-Model; and I've never dragged the floorboards while practicing U-turns.
I will most likely start wearing my C4 Pro as the weather starts to get cooler here in the Northeast area; however, I'm sure my HD buddies will poke fun at me for the look...
Scott, thank you. Did not found one in large with the cool map graphic but went back today and pretty much got the last Large it seems of a Matt black C4 Pro for like $324 before tax.RevZilla has a really great deal on the Schuberth C4 Pro if looking for a flip-up full face helmet; I have a C4 Pro Carbon, which was my primary helmet when riding my GS Adventure; now I mostly wear a 2/3 helmet.

I paid $2199 for the PPM, Averages out to $366 per service for the first 36,000 miles. I know some people probably will say it's a waste of money. It just makes life easier knowing I don't have to pay for maintenance for the first 36,000 miles. finance department talked to me about all the extra packages and whatnot.Hum…so is this a deal to get the pre=paid maintenance package?

BMW service is both time & mileage. There are services roughly every 6K miles and annual. If you do fewer miles than 6K/year, you’ll be doing an annual off-cycle from the 6K. Is your plan just on mileage, or also includes the annual services?I paid $2199 for the PPM, Averages out to $366 per service for the first 36,000 miles.

It's 3 year/36,000 miles whichever comes first. I do 6,000 miles in about 6 months; I live in Texas, so we really don't have an off season.BMW service is both time & mileage.

I agree with your assement. I will turn 64 this December, but I like the looks and the vibe the base puts out. I ride it like it’s a bike to be romped around on and it fits that purpose beautifully. I have ordered a Corbin solo seat for it, cause the factory seat causes pain and suffering after a couple of hours.Get the base model. Slick as fock, the best looking motorcycle I've ever owned, and I've owned quite a few. The bagger comes with a windshield and obviously the bags. The transcontinental is a Street Glide in disguise. Looks more like a Harley than a BMW. A total departure from what the bike was supposed to look and be. I don't like it a bit. I noticed a lot of owners running after aftermarket parts that turn the bike into something else. It won't be a BMW anymore. I am amazed by the ignorance and poor taste of a lot of guys.
Don't treat this R18 as the only bike because it can't be, and you'll be disappointed. Keep it simple and it will make you feel like a James Dean of the twenty first century. Which is so fockin' cool in my book!
Just a thought.
I asked about an extended warranty and or a pre-paid maintenance program at the time of purchase for my B model; my dealership didn't have anything available, or at least anything they wanted to offer.I paid $2199 for the PPM, Averages out to $366 per service for the first 36,000 miles.
