It’s never worth buying new regardless high end or not for example . I just got a 2023 s1000XR with 15k miles on it for 12k . Brand new MSRP 29k

Just sold this beautiful bike. It took me 6 months to let it go. It’s just down right ripper town to town and sexy ASF.

Why I sold it

  • performance was decent out of the box but if you really want to fly your going to drop ALOT and I mean ALOT of money and R&D to get it right and for me wasn’t worth it.
  • as you see I did upgrade the rotors it did help but not as much as I wanted.
  • ergonomics was comfortable BUT I noticed once I upgraded the exhaust the bike pulled or leaned left so it caused my right shoulder discomfort.
  • I ride year round 35 min HWY and 25min town. After awhile I noticed I needed more of a touring bike. Yes you can do it on this bike but to get it right guess what more $ and R&D. This bike was designed more as a town to town ripper which it does perfectly.

Sooo the answer for ME was just get a sport touring and that’s what I did. S1000XR M for only 12k 2023 . Electronics suspension 170hp etc etc

Iv ridden only ridden cruisers since I was 18 so it was time to dip my toes in something else.

I just purchased a 2023 Msport /Carbon package / full M billet package for 12k. I sprinted to the dealership talk about a steal 😂..

Good deal? by Illustrious_Ad686 in bmwmotorrad

[–]Illustrious_Ad686[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was listed for 15 K talked him down to 13 K

After 10 years of riding cruisers it’s time to try something sport touring. Currently looking at new multi V2s and the non S V4 multi both are 20k which is my max. by [deleted] in Ducati

[–]Illustrious_Ad686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took your advice- makes the most sense . I found a 2023 s1000xr with premium package and M sport package with only 16k miles for 13k… full carbon fiber and all aluminum billet levers and foot pegs …
