Local Dealer has 40 BMW on showroom floor, not a single R18

When they lift the delivery stop, I'm picking up a 2023 R18TC with the premium package, and my 08 Yamaha trade-in, 17,800 out the door.I couldn't pass that up.

My dealer has one R18TC, one Roctane. Been the same since I bought the other Roctane. But, they have tons of other bikes (BMWs included).

Talked to the local dealer and he was told from corporate the end of May they should have the headlight fix out.

Around 1/4 bikes shown at nearest local dealer here (large BMW Motorrad branded bike shop) are R18.
Among them: 2 Roctane, several R18B and at least 3 TC. Few ot them are "pure" R18

Your pic shows the bike is in France. I think most people are talking about the US. The R18 hasn't sold well in the US.

The sign "Moto vendue" is in French for sure. But I'd rather bet it's in Quebec.
In France the sign would rather only say "Vendue"
But Dieulevent will tell us.

OOps ! I must be wrong since his infos say "Montenegro". definitely not a French speaking country.

My local dealer (Gateway BMW) "supposebly" has 300+ r18s in their crates sitting in storage off site. No r18s on the floor currently because of the headlight issue. As soon as BMW gets the fix and they can start selling, rumor is they are going to have some rebates and incentives like never before to get them moved. Can't confirm this in stone. I'm going to ask them about it saterday when I go to their annual open house event.

My dealer has none and only takes them on when bmw forces him too according to him. Bummer this bike ain’t catching on but was expected with how things have gone with it from launch.
