2008 R1200R price

[jbim]

Anyone has heard anything about the price of the 2008 R1200R in the US. I am Canadian. My dealer tells me that the price of bikes in US will increase in 2008 to reflect the lower US $. It is the new tactic to keep us Canadian from buying in US. However, with the CDN$ now worth 1.10USD, it is very tempting to buy South.

Just heard back from my dealer, the Canadian $ price for the 2008 R1200R is reduced by $1,500 plus, currently, a $500 cash back. That would lower the price to $14,000 compared to $12,620. This is assuming US dealers do not include incentives. However, the Canadian bike comes with heated grips, weather "obliging".

That sounds about like what I paid for mine. I no longer worry about the price, I just love the bike. I rode with friends this weekend who all say that I am a noticeably faster rider on the new bike. My old bike was a K1200RS.
