RE: so, who has ordered a 1250? - 25

Very admirable sticking with the brand Ged but do you feel you are making do with the GS
When you really wanted the RS unless they are giving the GS to you 😂.
Either way enjoy your new bike

Ged
Ah same for me with the multistrada new bike with low seat 795mm yes 😁😁😁 result for both of us

For me, the RS (1200 or1250) is the only option for a BMW boxer. The look, fairing, comfort, fun to ride and seat position is way more important than some 80-something cc, TFT-screen and fancy valvesystem.
So I just have to wait at least a year for the right bike.

I called to see my local dealer on Saturday and to be honest came away a bit deflated. I was considering, like Ged, going for either the R1250R or GS but the dealer didn't offer anything that would help ease the financial cost of buying and then getting the new RS next year. I will email BMW directly but don't hold out much hope. It just confirmed what I already knew, keeping my own 16 RS and then change next spring. The dealer reckoned the bike should not drop much in value due to the fact there will be no new R1200RS available, also according the Glass's Guide the difference between a 2015RS (£7200) and a 2016 (£7700) was just £500 so the dealer reckoned mine shouldn't drop much more than £500 between now and next year. I still feel very let down by the whole thing, but will probably just keep my bike and change it next year.

Sounds like other than having to wait longer for the 1250, then you won't lose out too badly, though it still might be worth contacting BMW, especially if you had actually placed an order for the new RS as I had done.

My situation was different in that I was coming from a GS, and this would likely suffer a big further drop in value if I waited for the new RS. In the end I decided to cancel the RS order and go for another GS, and my dealer was very helpful in giving me a deal which has somewhat reduced the difference in price between the two bikes. However, I have still had to find a substantial extra sum, so I have contacted BMW to see what they might offer. I have asked for a no-cost swap to the RS when it is available, but not holding my breath on that one. BMW said that I should get my dealer to contact BMW UK to discuss, and they weren't promising anything - just that they would fully and fairly consider the situation.

Sad to say BMW are not interested in the drop on value of your bike even if you are buying a new bike. Mine is a 15 plate with over 25k showing anything over average miles you get offered peanuts as i know ☹

For those who have already ordered a RS and the delivery is not in time for the upcoming motorcycle season (I mean the biker usually take a winter break), will probably not get a special discount from BMW.

I would ask in your place the delivery (and also the year of construction!) for March 2020, of course for the price of today's price list!
And for buyers in the UK, perhaps the possible Brexit price risk could be ruled out.

I'm afraid more will probably not be achieved in my opinion.

I’m considering an R1250R now has anyone else considered one. I’m am also starting to look more at the GS which I wouldn’t have considered before. It may depend on what sort of deals I would be offered by the local dealer.

---

I had the same dilemma, don't want to wait for the RS so i have opted for the new GS, i wish they had not shown the RS at Novembers bike show, it was too early.


Ged

What sort of deal did you get Ged, did you get anything to help ease the pain of not getting the RS ? Financially I mean. 😁

---

Very much so, a deal i couldn't refuse, bike will be a black one, fortunately not much of it is actually black , cant stand the cleaning.

Ged

---

What delivery date have you been given Ged?

---

It's a bit strange that switching RS production off to meet demand from GS buyers allows someone who'd ordered an RS to switch to a GS and get it on the road before the original RS launch date. Or maybe it's just me.

The delayed buyers will get nothing from BMW, they are harder to get a sensible deal out of than the Mafia, oops sorry the European Union.
When you join our gang you never leave, 'with your knee caps'. oops off topic.

Hi Ged,

We agreed not to talk about the UK's desire for self destruction, so let's keep this topic clean.
