If you can even find a new car or truck at a dealer these days you'll surely pay the sticker price or more. But apparently BMW motorcycle dealers have a surplus of R18s. Yesterday at the post office I saw a guy on a brand new R18. It was the standard model, not the bagger or full dresser I'd consider owning. We talked for a few minutes and he said the sticker price was about $23K. But the dealer had them all clearance priced, and he paid just $14K.
I bought my first Valkyrie in 1998 because it was so different from anything available at the time. The R18 has a similar appeal. These remind me of the Valkyrie Standard, Tourer, and Interstate. They were at BMW's display at Sturgis last year.
