Where to start? Been plagued with the gremlins of Ducatis for too long and took a ride one day on a S1000R....
Never thought of BMW as they are generally out of my price range once I sit on a 27K+ bike,
Anywho....I am tiriing of quirkiness related to the "soul" of Ducatis...They like to be in the shop alot. ALOT.
So I am buying a 2016 XR and not looking back!
Found one about 12 hours away and used a BMW vin decoder to elicit this info on the bike,,

It has the tank bag and the Motorrad V GPS/Tank Bag/Center Stand as well as a few Dealer options I probably forgot....
Anyway I am going to dispatch a cycle mechanic from the City it is located in as I do not want travel 12 hours to find it misrepresented.
From the little I know about XR's is has the Standard and Premium with some other extras...I think the build sheet was about 20 989 with which included 495 destination fee...The bike has just under 1000 miles and has a warranty til 4/2019
Can't wait to ride instead of waiting for my Ducati's to get out of the shop....September is hades month as Ducati is SHUT DOWN!
Anyway thanks for having me on the forum and hope to learn a lot from you intrepid forum members!
Cheers....Greg
