[QUOTE="saread, post: 1457367, member: 13880"] After almost 3-1/2 months, BMW delivered my new scooter. It was kind of a fun process. Once you get your VIN, you are able to track your bike from manufacture in Berlin to delivery in Seattle. I must say that the local BMW dealer managed to earn back some of the enmity they had acquired earlier by knocking off 500 bucks from the price when I picked the bike up. Nice. Of course, like any bike, it's never complete when you get it and it needs a bit of farkeling. The biggest need was panniers and a top box. If you procure from BMW, that pushes $3k, but if you work the aftermarket, you can get it down to something like $1100 from Europe. That includes mounts and freight. I have to say I am impressed with the overall quality of the SHAD bags. That should be expected as SHAD is OEM for BMW and others. So, here's a pic of what I finally wound up with: [ATTACH type="full"]4514[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
