Probably about $6,500.00.
I then added Ohlins and a couple of other parts which brought the total closer to $ 8,000.00. At the time, the same bike was selling for about $14k.
It was a great bike that I'd still have I didn't get turned on to a guy with a R1200S (with zero miles!) that wanted to swap 1:1.

My bike has seen more time in the shop under warranty than any other bike I've owned. I pass on this experience for the recycled electrons it is worth as the replacement parts alone can be expensive.
That said, I am keeping the bike because the handling, comfort and capability are so far above anything I have ever ridden. |
...and we have proof!
Here's BMWSaint with what's left of his bike!
