Bmw 450

[2strokesrock]

Has anyone had a chance to ride the new BMW G 450 X? I saw one at a dealer and it seems like it could compete with any of the 450 trail bikes out there, and it is even a dual purpose
what are your thoughts on it?
Is there anything you dont like about it?

thanks :)

Like
It appears to be very well built and have a lot of new technology

Do not like
1. BMW dealer support (or lack of it) may be a thing
2. Limited if any aftermarket support since it is brand new and will be low production
3. $10k?
4. Expensive BMW parts

It is neat and if you have the patience and a ton of coin you would be the only kid on your block to have one...and that in itself might be the problem.

for what it is worth....

i would be worried about resale. its a new bike. no one knows if it will take and become popular. you could spend 10k on a bike that will be worth 3k in a couple years.
