Anyone seen a weight on these things? I'd never afford one, or at least allocate my money that way, so it's all hypothetical, but it looks like 700 lbs to me.

The pricing is in line with other premium brands like Harley's Ultra and Road Glide Ultra and form a performance stand point the BMW is far ahead, however once you start looking at service costs then there's no contest. HD service consists of an oil and filter change every 5k, Primary lube change every 10k and transmission lube change every 20k, check the belt tension on occasion, change the plugs and swish the air filter element around a pan of gas now and then and you're done. Most owners would have little trouble completing these themselves and even paying a dealer to do it isn't going to break the bank
Contrast that to the hour or two of tupperwear removal just to access the BMW motor, farting around removing measuring and replacing shims on 24 valves in addition to oil & filter, trans & final drive lube change and anything else they can toss in there, the Beemer is going to be an expensive ride all the way around...... Probably worth it but beep repaired to shell out on a regular basis..

I think that's pretty competitive really.
I was expecting a loaded GTL to be about 30 large. Once the early adopters clear out the early supply, I'm sure deals will be had. I got my GT for 5 grand below MSRP.

For a sixer, they do look pretty sharp. Too bad I can't afford one!
