Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #135Zitat von andygriff im Beitrag #133 Could the current favorable US/Euro exchange rate allow BMW to hold prices or even lower them a little?
No car is as fun to drive as any motorcycle is to ride.

Zitat von andygriff im Beitrag #133 BMW shows a different base price when you actually look at the 2018 RS page vs the pull down in the payment estimator. They show $15,245 as the base for the '18 model page. So that's an increase of $1245 on the base model, which seems more realistic. I hope that isn't just the cost of adding the 1250 motor, but also some updates that have been discussed. I bet we know next week. https://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/en/models/sport/r1200rs.html |

Zitat von Clifton im Beitrag #136Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #135Zitat von andygriff im Beitrag #133 My observation from buying 8 BMW motorcycles over the past 33 years is that a favorable balance of payments between Europe and the U.S. result in more profits for BMWNA and no reduction of the MSRP to the consumer. However, I have noticed that BMWNA seems to schedule the importing of BMW motorcycles to take advantage of the balance of payments situation when it is in their favor.

FWIW I got to do a motorcycle tour of Sourth Africa a couple of years ago. I had just bought a new RS in the here in Vermont. I was shocked to find that the same bike could be gotten in South Africa for several thousand US dollar less (using the official exchange rate at the time). |
