Zitat von Paul911 im Beitrag #13 Yep that's the one I saw. Forgot about the Pan America and GS comparison.

I'm surprised that my local dealer has sold probably 8-10 of these but I have yet to see one out in the "wild". But, then again, we are a couple of hundred miles from the beach. Sam's opinion makes me wonder if one could make it there and back.

Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #14 That would be "big metal expensive turkeys" that the U.S. dealers are apparently forced to order by BMWNA and are desperate to get off of their showroom floors so that they have more room for the R1250GS.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #18Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #14 Two of the three shops I've been in this year had 5 or 6 on the floor with hardly any other BMWs on the floor. I was curious if dealers were forced to take quite a few.

Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #18Zitat von Ali-bear im Beitrag #14 That makes sense given how many I see sitting around. Meanwhile, Harley is selling as many Pan Americas as they can make.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #23 Always strikes me as odd wanting to have your ankles to be the first part of your body to take the impact of an RTA!! The current saga of the 1800 boxer reminds me of the BMW 507 coupe that almost bankrupted the company at the beginning of the 60s! Chris

Zitat von PlacidoD im Beitrag #24Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #23 The 507 was an engineering tour de force for its day. The R18 is an Anna Nicole Smith version of something BMW built in the pre-war era......

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #25Zitat von PlacidoD im Beitrag #24Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #23 I don't disagree. My point is very poor commercial decisions are/were being made! Both are/were overpriced and have next to no market at their asking price! Chris

I think Harley has done a much better job of entering the ADV market than BMW has done entering the cruiser market. I bet H-D rings up a lot more sales of their Pan America than BMW will with their road-hugging R18 models.
