Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
OK,
With BMW and now Yamaha with new baggers, why is there no 2017 F6B on the Honda website?
More importantly, how can BMW sell a bagger $4k less than Honda??
Inquiring minds........
I didn't pay anywhere near MSRP for my Honda bagger, neither BMW MSRP or Honda MSRP...Originally Posted by F6B1911
As far as Yamaha's bagger, it's a V twin. In other words, meh.
Looks sweet to me!

Too many knooks and crannys for me. That's the stuff I look at....nightmare to maintain. Can't see anything knocking my B off it's throne.
“Gibraltar” 2016 white deluxe has been sold.
Notice the lower cowl with knockouts for fog lamps. Hmmmm...where have we seen that before???

I guess they can afford to be a little aggressive in order to maneuver into that market space. I'm also guessing the BMW-B could also be used as a way to bring new customers to BMW with the hope of up-selling them either on the sales floor, or as trade ins later.
The BMW-B Has quite a few trim level$ as I understand it.
Unlike many here, I have no problem with a V-Twin or any other engine configuration for that matter. What bothers me is that these machines are so darn heavy. I'm seriously considering dumping the "6" in favor of something in the 500 to 600 pound range.
