Hello from Austin, Texas, USA! First time owning (or even riding) a BMW. I wasn’t even in the market for a new bike, but I was browsing through the inventory at my local dealer and found this beauty at a price I couldn’t resist. 2014 Classic with 18k (miles) on the odo. She rides like a dream.

Very cool! What route do you take? I hope you have Willow City Loop on the itinerary.

We take the Willow City Loop if it's a good Bluebonnet year.
We'll stay 5 mile north of Blanco, Bandera, Leakey, Llano and Mineral Wells.
We'll get together with some other riders at the Vaquero Motel in Bandera April 10, 11,12 and 13th.
If you're out and about stop by to visit.

We're not attending but you may be interested in meeting some of the local BMW MOA riders at the Hill Country Hangout in Kerrville April 45, 15 and 16th.

Welcome. Beautiful R1200R Classic. Perfect

Indeed - a lovely classic Classic, my all-time favourite of the many Roadsters that I owned. Goes to show that excellent bikes of this vintage may still be found at a reasonable price.

Here in steamy Queensland, Australia I see for sale a 2012 MY2013 Classic for sale in reportedly immaculate condition, with a mere 11040km (6859 miles) on it. The sale includes the three-piece set of genuine BMW hard luggage cases plus a tasty-looking Akra pipe, and the small BMW Sport screen. The photographs indicate that the seat is the BMW komfortsitz, for those seeking the Holy Grail of bike seats - just ask my bum! Asking AUD $14,500, which frankly seems rather optimistic to me.

Roadsters of this vintage, including Classics, are not much sought-after here, so it may linger for a while. Another local ad which has been running for over 15 months is for a 2012 Classic, asking AUD $13,950, which I have seen and sat on, and it too is impeccable condition at a mere 8500km, but it remains unsold, and clearly unwanted

I have the dosh and the desire, but I also have far too many miles and years (83 and counting) on my own clock! Sigh... 😢
