Having been launched recently, I was wondering if anyone here knew how much a brand new BMW R 1300 GS goes for here in Kenya. How much should someone have to acquire this motorbike? Any other thing I should know about the bike? IF you already have one, what advice would you give to someone planning to buy one.
In short, can you share answers to the following questions:
- What is the price of a brand new BMW R 1300 GS in Kenya?
- What advice would you share with someone planning to buy the motorcycle?
- How can someone get the most out of their BMW R1300 GS?
If you are interested in the price, here is some information that you might find useful.
When I asked this very question via the BMW Motorrad Kenya motorcycle dealership Facebook page, I was told the new R1300GS was retailing at 34,000 euros duty paid.
I also sent a short email to Inchcape Kenya asking how much the R1300GS costs.
Here is the reply I received: The price of the R1300GS is 33,000 Euros.
I was also given a phone number to call if I needed more information on the R1300GS.
How much is that in Kenyan Shillings? Assuming an exchange rate of 1 Euro to KSh 145.
The 33000 Euros becomes KSh 4,785,000. And the 34000 Euros becomes KSh 4,930,000.
