Having seen what people have recently paid out on Bergmans and T-max's are they really that big?

Re: BMW scooter prices announced (German 19% VAT incl.)
We had a thread about this recently - on there it was stated that the price was £7800. Even then it makes the BMW and TMax seem expensive. BUT its so impractical - not even enough space for a full face helmet and that chain drive....Ginger Phil wrote:That's it, I'm buying the Aprilia SRV which is £7300 plus the it's the best looking.

Are they insane?
They have instantly priced themselves out of any serious sales.
I was waiting for a test ride, with a view to maybe getting one new, but at that price, forget it!

Bikes do tend to be more cash in mainland Europe. In Spain, I saw a local dealer after nearly £6000 for a Burgman 400! So, bank on it being a little under 9k for the Sport You can get nearly two X10s for that

"Bikes do tend to be more cash in mainland Europe"
Indeed; my Silverwing was considerably more here than it would have been in the UK.

Re: BMW scooter prices announced (German 19% VAT incl.)
Whilst waiting to follow Ed back from having his bike serviced at our BMW garage I asked the wife of the owner (she's very knowledgeable) whether they'd be selling the BMW maxis and also if they'd have a demonstrator.
The answer to both was 'yes'.
Not only will they sell and service them they have already sold some to biker customers!
The dealers have already been on to BMW to produce more.
The demonstrator will be a Sport model but I've booked my ride.
They will be available here at the end of April, 2012.
I have in front of me the official brochure and price-list:
The GT here will cost €11,050.00. This includes VAT @21%
The extra 'package - heated grips, seats and so on is €850.00.
Alarm - €225.00.
The 600 Sport is about €1000.000. cheaper.
She asked about UK prices; I told her they would probably be less but servicing is more expensive in the UK, to which she replied that quite a few English owners come over to them to have their bikes serviced whilst on holiday.
Just thought you'd like to know.

Re: BMW scooter prices announced (German 19% VAT incl.)
Having heated grips and seats as extras just sounds like a rip off when you look at it next to the Burgman 650 which is cheaper and has both as standard.Waldorf wrote:Whilst waiting to follow Ed back from having his bike serviced at our BMW garage I asked the wife of the owner (she's very knowledgeable) whether they'd be selling the BMW maxis and also if they'd have a demonstrator.

Re: BMW scooter prices announced (German 19% VAT incl.)
I read somewhere that it was already out....but there's no sign of it whatsoever on the UK website. Aprilia probably have no idea themselves!R1K SU wrote:Any Idea when the 850 aprilia is out ?
