Why are there so many used BMWs under $2500?
It amazes me how many Beamers are out there for under $2500; especially the full on touring bikes. Are they that expensive to own or unreliable or both? I just don't get it. Could you guys please help me understand?
This is not meant to be a dig at BMWs or their owners. I've always liked BMWs but prices like that have always scared me away, especially when you compare them to all the Japanese bikes in similar classes. I've owned many Bimmers [cars] and know they are expensive to maintain and require a lot of preventative maintenance, more so than their Japanese counterparts. Is it the same with the bikes and that's why they're so cheap? i.e. You're buying someone else's maintenance headaches?
Thx.
