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'm getting offers for $17K.Nobody knows what they are going for privately, that's pure speculation.
There isn't a single part on the BMW that's affordable. The fuel tank on an R18 Option 719 (galaxy dust) is $5,000. The exhaust pipes are $2500 per side. there are very few hard parts that are under $1,000 each. There are Japanese cruisers that are more affordable to operate and can be picked up for less than a new and used BMW. I guess my assumption is we should all know what we're getting ourselves into when buying something stamped in Germany. Berlin doesn't offer anything discounted and that doesn't always directly correlate with quality...most people argue the Japanese do that better. I ride with dirt bike riders who haven't changed their Honda 650 oil in a decade and never have a problem. I would never try that on a BMW or KTM.
