Anybody have a good BMW connection?

[Tricky Mike]

So, one of my best friends of all time is ready to pull the trigger on a new (or extremely close to new) BMW R1200GS. He's looking for all the options, but NOT the Adventure model. Regular suspension, regular seat (this is reiterated from his email, so I have to admit to not knowing much at all about the differences between models).
He's got one in NYC that he's looking at now, but I figured I should throw a flag up here to see if anyone has an actual bike or a REALLY SOLID lead on one. I know it's a bit of a long-shot. Please no "have you tried GBM?" replies.
Thanks. I love you all.

Mike, I do not have a connection but have heard very good things about Second Wind BMW in Merrimack, NH.

I believe Johnny on here bought his 675 Triumph from them.

Just my 2 cents

I sent Mike a longwinded pm on second wind as well, good experience there and when I got mine they were cheaper than Max's.

[Tricky Mike]

Yeah, thanks guys! I've gotten some good recommendations via PM. We should be able to get him hooked up. They're cool bikes. Wish I had that kind of extra loot!

Plus 1 for Second Wind. My experience with them has been very positive. Tell him to go see Nick in Sales. Nick is a straight shooter.

Yes second wind is very very good. Awesome service, great knowledge about the products, and an awesome team.

[Wanderer]

I'd agree with the others - Second wind is a good shop, and Nick is a decent guy. I'd also take a hike up to Max BMW off Rt1 - also very good folks, and lots of testride opportunity

Not sure how long ago everyone here bought, but since then Nic Blaney has moved onto being the sales manager - which is actually a good thing I do believe.

SOLD!
He works fast.
Thanks for all the replies.

That looks like Max's in NY, are we not gonna get any more info than this?

Nah, it's not my bike, my deal, etc... I can't really divulge details on someone else's dealings, you know? It ended up being a really good deal for him, FWIW.

Tell him to join up and post up then :p

You can't even tell us where he got it? it's that secret? you are running some black ops my friend

I *think* it's Max's?? I know it's a (the?) Bimmer dealer in NYC.
He found this one on his own, so I only asked what he got it for, didn't necessarily care to ask where.

Wow....i like that

[ssg]

Thx Mike...in NYC it could be a few IIRC, Max's is in Troy.

Bill you should schedule a test drive...for reals.

I was at the BMW dealer a few weeks ago in North Hampton. They had some really nice bikes in there! Congrats to your bro who just picked up a new scoot!
