Hello, I’ve been reading this site for a few months now, ever since I saw the first review of the RS, purely by accident while I was researching the 900XR, and fell totally in love with it. I finally got my full license and was able to test ride both of them last Friday. Suffice to say that my expectations were confirmed – hated the XR, loved the RS – so I decided to make the presentation here. The RS will be mine very soon! I just have to decide if I go with a new one with a slight discount, or a second hand one with more discount but less warranty, or wait for the white one that will come out in fall – my favourite colour, but it would mean four more months of waiting and no discount. I am torn… |

Welcome aboard! Personally I would go with low mileage lightly used such as an ex demonstrator and let somebody else take the initial hit on depreciation and, as Wessie says, why wait when you could be riding now?

I live in Madrid. We have mountains relatively close to the city –one hour away, nothing like the Pyrenees, but it is nice for a weekend ride. Yes, travel is still complicated, even vaccinated you can still be confined if there is suspicion of close contact with an infected person. |

The yellow one. I love the lupin blue, the current blue is just too dark, it looks good in the sun but otherwise I find it meh. I don't like dark bikes, and where I live it gets very hot in summer so it’s best to avoid dark surfaces. Temperatures in summer are regularly around and above 40ºC (104ºF) and this summer looks very hot….. I did not like the yellow at first either, but it grew on me, it's gonna be my mustard baby! |

Yeah, they had a yellow one in the BMW used section but it’s gone now. They have another one but since its demonstrator they can’t sell it right away. I need financing so going second hand is a no go, so I asked for the select, let’s see if they approve it. I am looking forward to this summer! |

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #8Zitat von LadyOfTwoLands im Beitrag #7 No, it's the PCP finance package https://www.bmw.co.uk/en/topics/buying/f...select-pcp.html In the UK, you can get PCP on used bikes but maybe in Spain it is for new ones only. |

We can finance second hand, but obviously only BMW dealership network owned bikes. I need financing so there really isn’t any other choice. Beggars can’t be choosers. |
