Buyers at the entry-level end benefit from meaningful price cuts on the G 310 RR and C 400 GT, improving accessibility to the brand. Conversely, enthusiasts eyeing larger-capacity motorcycles must now contend with significantly higher costs, particularly for flagship models like the M 1000 XR Competition and the touring K 1600 range. Overall, while BMW retains a strong presence across multiple segments, its premium offerings are now firmly positioned at a higher price point, potentially influencing buying decisions in the months ahead.
