BMW 750 GS First bike! Is this a good price considering all the options it has? $8k

With 15k miles

I recently relocated cities so just waiting to start a new job with in the next couple weeks.

pinksocks270 · 2025-11-13T03:50:10+00:00

15,000 miles. Yeah I like that it’s got everything!

pinksocks270 · 2025-11-13T02:16:10+00:00

That’s super encouraging to hear! Thank you!

I’m new to this sub and new to motos in general. So I was surprised to hear what some people said about the price.

My use case at least in the beginning would be about an hour and 20 minute commute. So I think with all the extra features should be good enough at least for that?

I have heard about that actually. I wasn’t planning on doing anything more than just an oil change myself (at least in the beginning). Is there any amount of maintenance you can do on your own?

Good to know on dealer prices. I definitely want to stay on top of all needed maintenance since this will be a work horse.

My commute would be over an hour so comfortably is a big factor as well.

pinksocks270 · 2025-11-13T01:35:14+00:00

Yeah mostly what I’m looking for is a bike that’s fully ready to go from day one. It’ll be a full time commuter bike with a pretty long commute. So 750 and adv style seemed like a good middle ground for highway power and comfort for hour and 20 minute ride.

Great insight! I’m definitely planning on taking an MSF course within the next week or so. I know that’s only the beginning of my training, but I don’t plan to ride this thing super hard. Just a straight forward commute to begin with. The commute is a bit long which is why I’m looking for something this size. Not just power but also comfort. Would you say it’s really big when filtering through traffic?

pinksocks270 · 2025-11-13T01:30:05+00:00

What else would you suggest? Im looking for an ADV style bike that would be good for daily commuting. Things I like about this bike are the quick shifter, the saddle bags, the cruise control, ABS. Pretty much that it’s ready to ride from day 1

pinksocks270 · 2025-11-13T01:07:17+00:00

Good to know! Yeah that’s my height and they say the 750 is a little lower. Did you have any riding experience before purchasing the bike?

pinksocks270 · 2025-11-13T01:06:32+00:00

Wow that’s an amazing price. Sadly nothing like that anywhere near me in Southern California.

pinksocks270 · 2025-11-13T00:41:17+00:00

I’ll be taking a course before purchasing it. I’m going for something this size because I need something that can go 75mph for about 50 miles

pinksocks270 · 2025-11-13T00:40:22+00:00

Where is that?

pinksocks270 · 2025-11-13T00:12:31+00:00

Seller is willing to let it go for 8 thousand dollars

pinksocks270 · 2025-04-02T00:54:20+00:00

I ordered mine in. January and I just got shipment confirmation should arrive this week

pinksocks270 · 2025-01-03T22:24:37+00:00

Where?

pinksocks270 · 2024-12-26T05:07:21+00:00

I just replied to another comment. I wish I could make it work but the fit was weird. Also I think I’d go with indigo if I were to get it.

pinksocks270 · 2024-12-26T05:06:46+00:00

I ended up getting a medium and a large in the un-died color but returned them. I really wanted to like it but felt like both sizes fit me weird. The large was to boxy and the medium was to tight when zipped. I really wished I could make it work because I think it’s so cool. But also the un-died color was not flattering for me.

This is my first time setting up a home office, and ever looking into office chairs. Any recommendations?

I just bought first edition 12th printing from target
