BMW R1800

[Pyrrho]

If MC dealers are anything like car/truck dealers, they're sleeping pretty soundly.  200%+ increases in value are pretty good......

...for those who are allotted adequate stock (which gets back to Darrell's point).

My dealer said pretty much what I saw on the floor is what they'll have for the rest of the calendar year, and that no other dealers were open to trading with them as they're in the same situation. My bike is one of the last new BMWs they're getting in '22. Most of what they had on the floor were RnineT's in various trims that had been there for months. They had a R18 Transcontinental since April that just sold last week. R18s aren't big sellers in Milwaukee due to HD's overwhelming presence here.

They're a multi-line dealership like most these days, also carrying Ducati, Royal Enfield, and MV Agusta. They're continuing to receive stock with those marques and that's what most of their sales are lately. They sold two $100K Panigale V4 Superleggeras this year in comparison -- so the riders with deep pockets are here, but the BMWs they want aren't.
