Cost of RS ownership

[darrell]

Based on my experience with the 21 BMW models I've owned over 47 years, the WasserBoxer R1200RS model is no more or less expensive when total maintenance, insurance, fuel and tires are looked at as a group. I believe the $0.184/mile actual costs so far on the first 70,000 miles on the RS are real world costs and does not vary a great deal with the other bikes. Of course doing all you own maintenance could reduce $0.03/mile and mounting your own tires might reduce another $0.02 per mile. But fuel, insurance, maintenance parts, and tires themselves will not vary by more than $0.01 among riders.
