First three dealers I called that supposedly had the bike, didn't. "We sold that bike over two months ago." Then why is it still on their website? Frustrating.
Found one in Fort Meyers, Florida. A "lightly used" 2021 model that the previous owner found out he wasn't going to be spending that much time in FL after all and instead sold the bike back to the dealer with 82 miles on it. Positive -- includes color-matched side cases. Negative -- has Option 719 Billet Pack Shadow head & front engine covers and a standard-height seat.
Dealer is sorting out the seat issue but won't be replacing the O719 with stock since it's technically a used bike sale. I can live with the engine cover but not the head covers, as I don't believe there's any way to protect them aside from traditional tubular crash bars with the O719 covers fitted. If that's what I have to live with then I'll probably buy replacement OEM stock head covers & MM X-Heads and then sell the O719 covers to someone far more fancy than me.
We've agreed on a price and just need to work out paperwork and shipping. As a FYI, they have BMW Connected Ride cradles in stock. $250 each.
