...Just try to find an RS, or anything that doesn't resemble a GS.

I like the white R in the first picture.

How on earth do they make enough money from motorcycles sales and service to finance that amount and style of space in SF?

---

have you looked at it from the outside on Streetview? Looks like some sort of clothing sweat shop. Seems to be a big Court nearby and every other premises is selling bail bonds. Classy part of town.

BMW would not allow such a crap looking premises in the UK...

One other comment about my service appointment at SF BMW. I was surprised to be able to obtain an appointment for a major service within only three days of calling. I can recall other times with my previous shop when it would take a couple of weeks before a service appointment slot was available. This is probably because it is wintertime and most BMW riders are not taking long trips right now and are waiting for better weather before thinking about servicing their motorcycles. But still.....

Another strange thing that I heard from the service advisor when I made my appointment was that he asked me how I use my RS and when I told him that I like to take it on camping trips he seemed quite surprised about my choice of vehicles. He said that most of his customers use GS models when going camping. Well, that could be true as the vast majority of BMW motorcycles in the San Francisco Bay Area do seem to be GS models, so if anyone would be going camping on a BMW it would likely be on a GS.

Yup, that's throughout San Francisco these days. Don't leave your helmet with your bike, don't leave anything visible in your car.

But I hope that the overall experience was good. I've been going to SFBMW since the F800ST days and have always found Mario and his crew to be pretty straightforward and get the job done.

Good to hear as SFBMW has always been square with me, but then I've been a 10 year customer and they have done a lot of little nice things for me over that time.
