Zitat von jimbob im Beitrag #1 Is the 2021 still under warranty? If so, that might be an advantage. But, in all honesty, if the 2017 is a Lupin, it's the one to get.........

Sound advice there from Wessie and I have a 1250! |

Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #4 I'm at 4495.00 USD in upgrades and frarkles on my 2016 Lupin Blue myself. But the motor is finally kitted to my liking for long distance traveling. |

Zitat von jimbob im Beitrag #3Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #2Zitat von jimbob im Beitrag #1 The red frame is attractive. Sounds like the peanut gallery is going for ............. pocket the $5K. Will the dealer install a new set of tires? The ones on the bike are close to 5-yrs old Old Forum Orphan |

Only you can decide. Personally I would be suspicious of a 2017 bike with such low mileage.

Zitat von PlacidoD im Beitrag #9 Low mileage bikes are fairly common in the US. Life happens and motorcycles are often impulse purchases. As for the adjustable pegs, aren't there several aftermarket options available for under $200?

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #10 It also happens in the UK. Apart from life events like illness and Covid restrictions there are new owners of more mature years who last rode maybe 30-40 years ago, get on their shiny new steed and scare themselves silly on the first serious corner then leave the bike unused in the garage before eventually selling. If selling on Ebay you will commonly find riding gear such as boots, helmets and gloves also listed saying e.g. "worn only twice". That still leaves the question of whether the bike has been well maintained during its low mileage life. Has it been serviced annually/at all? Has the engine been turned over regularly? Have the wheels moved or has the bike been sat on the same tyre spot for several years? Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #10 There are indeed aftermarket options. I have the SW Motech pegs fitted. The OP did not know what the 719 options were. As we both know BMW are good at emptying our wallets via their marketing strategy. My comment was simply to indicate that IF fitted (They might not be - It might just be the colour scheme) they are worth having unlike signature brake and clutch fluid reservoir covers and the like that are just "bling" in my view.

Wow ! A lot of thoughtful and insighful comments here, and that is very much appreciated ! Seems i have plenty to mull over. I am not too worried about the ergos of the machine as i currently ride a VFR, and an SV1000, and just sold an FJR. The various "value" features always seem subject to individual tastes, i tend to be somewhat utility minded. I will post up if i pull the trigger on one or the other. |
