63.4
/ 100
BMW motorcycles
One BMW on the books so far: the BMW F 450 GS, 48 hp, 178 kg wet and €7,220 on the list price, scored 63.4 out of 100 within its class. Oil services fall every 10,000 km, valve checks every 20,000 km, and scheduled servicing works out at roughly €300 per 10,000 km on the workshop rates published with its maintenance guide. One bike is not a ranking, so the head to heads below do the comparing: every rival is scored on the same formula with the same weights, and the maintenance guide carries the full schedule, first service and per-visit costs. More BMW models join the list as I get through the spec sheets.
