    BMW bike dealerships, Any recommendations?

    I took a ride to Dunbar in Brockton and found a bike that I liked. They wont budge on the price so I am just exploring my options by looking at other dealerships that may have a little haggle room for either the bike or some options to go with it. Anyone have any good things to say about other dealerships I may be able to check out?

    I bought an S1000rr from Nic at Second Wind in 2010. I was very happy with them, it was a no bullshit buying process. I can't really speak to pricing as it was a demo bike and there were not a lot of them around at that time.

    I've bought 3 BMW's from Max. Didn't pay retail for any of them.

    I'll give them a call on tues and see if they feel like making any deals if they have what I want. Their web site is showing one similar but priced higher than what I have got so far.

    Razees is on my list, bought my Ducati there and they treated me pretty well.
    I am going to wait till the July promotions hit the BMW dealers too, see what they have to offer.

    The building to the left of GBM in Arlington (dunno if this is also part of GBM).

    I've never purchased, nor do I know anyone who as purchased a bike from here so all I can vouch for is the fact that they have BMWs for sale.

    I belong to Yankee Beemers, the largest BMW club in NA, though I haven't owned one for 15 years. I'd say in order of deals I've heard about the dealers are:

    1. Max
    2. Second Wind
    3. Wagoners
    4. Razee

    I hate that most of these dealers are closed on Mondays.

    Another vote for second wind.. I have been going to them for about 10 years now, they take good care of their customers.

    Wagner bent over backwards for me on my GSA. They even painted it red for me instead of white. I had a good expirience with them and I had a couple thousand knocked off.

    Re: BMW bike dealerships, Any recommendations?

    Well, I just threw some money down on a new toy from MAX. Bike hasn't even made it to the dealership yet, but it is on a truck going that way already, should be there by Friday. Hell yeah!!! 1st new bike in 15 years not counting the 2nd hand dirty toys. Salesman was helpful and gave me a pretty good deal that I was happy with. The stable grows..

    This is a generic photo, mine is still in a crate in the back of a truck. But this one looks like it has the same options that I got.

    The 1200GS is no old man ride. It will shock you with how well it does everything. The swiss army knife of motorcycles. Did you get shift assist? Bags?

    No bags yet, gotta save up some more cash to get those. But it does have the shift assist and all the other tech goodies. And I will be getting the GPS that is way more than just a GPS on this bike.

    Congrats, buddy of mine had one. It pulled pretty hard and was quite the versatile ride.

    My wife has one. Only thing missing is shift assist. Got that on my RT though. And yes, the gps is over the top too. You can use Harley Davidson trip planning site and download the files to your BMW nav unit, Garmin makes both systems but Harley has an easier to use planning system..

    The Wasserboxer is substantially more powerful than the previous gens.

    Yankee Beemers is a great club.
