[QUOTE="RBEmerson, post: 1443162, member: 91458"] [BMW model near rant omitted] BMW can really be weird about production. I doubt very much the sales person was telling a fairy tale. Sometimes it's "we had (however many) and sold out". The dealer may have guessed wrong on orders, be limited in how much they can spend on floorplanning spendy items, or BMW said "you get (however many) and no more". In short, I doubt you heard a fairy tale. I've talked about BMW supplies with an acquaintance at Hermy's BMW (Port Clinton, PA). I already had a bike ('03 K1200RS from Hermy's), and Bob knew I wasn't about to change any time soon. In short, no cause to nudge me into whatever with "buy it now, before they're all gone". That said, particularly after riding, the '16 RT in my avatar (on an Alps tour), I just couldn't get up for buying one, and paying for parts mostly made out of unobtainium. Which is why I have my '17 FJR (bought in '18, after serious searching, because no way in hell would/will I have a matte paint job). [/QUOTE]
