    BMW expensive because it is premium price! Compare BMW 3 siries price in open market at around RM 120K and our Perdana in NAP market at around RM 100K, see which one is more expensive?

    But have to agreed their motorbike very pricey! Not for mat rempit market, but for those filthy rich who are motormania!

    • Not in other countries.

      In the US the i.e. BMW 1000RR is cheaper than it’s competitors from Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki:

      Honda CBR1000RR (172hp): US$13,800
      BMW S1000RR (194hp): US$13.800

      You have to take into account that the S1000RR has 22hp more…
