New BMW Bagger

[STR8UP]

I owned a K1200GT second generation and loved everything about it except for the cost for maintenance and the sparce dealer network. At one of the scheduled service the bike needed a ball joint and the part had to be shipped from Germany, taking 3 days to arrive and it wasn't the right one...so I had to wait another 3 days for the right part to arrive. I considered the K1600GT before buying my F6B but I just couldn't imagine being stranded hours from the closest BMW dealer and having to wait days for parts to be delivered.That new BMW bagger looks great though.

I really like the look and features of the BMW. I wonder what it weights.

Somewhere between 680-750lbs +/- is my guess

323kg what would be about 712lbs.

BMW build this Bagger mainly for the US-Market. In Germany or Europe we normally don't drive much of those big baggers (different streets). Here they are more into the big touring enduros like a BMW GS1200, a KTM 1290 or Honda Africa Twin (which has a big fan base).

Yet another new bike creation by BMW! Talk about "thinking out of the box" This newest marvel sets a tone unseen in the "Two Wheel Industry"

Honda dealership with a seasoned mechanic 1 mile away. BMW 2+ hours away.
Honestly, this BMW bagger still looks like a sport tourer to me. No thanks.
