Finance: An interesting time to buy

BMW have made the prospect of owning a new R1200GS even more tantalising with a new Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) deal. By reducing the annual interest rate from 9.9% APR to just 3.9%, BMW UK are offering their current, interim R1200GS TE for just £134.15 per month after a £3065 deposit.

Back in March of this year, the same bike with similar deposit and optional final payment would’ve cost £189 per month.

Some dealers, like Douglas Park Motorrad in East Kilbride, are even adding a sizeable deposit contribution, meaning you’ll pay just £1394 up front.

The current £14.640 R1200GS TE was introduced recently as a stop-gap model before the arrival of an updated version next April. This interim machine is Euro4 compliant (the older model wasn’t) and features improvements to the transmission output shaft for increased smoothness, as well as updated clocks. As standard it also has handguards, heated grips, semi-active suspension, daytime running lights, rider modes, traction control, ABS, cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring system and LED indicators.

To take advantage of this offer, head to your local BMW dealership before December 31.
