First Edition of BMWOR Briefings
Thank you for your interest in BMW Motorcycles of Western Oregon (BMWOR) and welcome to BMWOR Briefings. In an effort to provide information more consistently to our customers, we are launching this digital newsletter.

Hopefully you will enjoy this newsletter and please feel free to submit your ideas and suggestions to us so that we can consider them for future issues.

Thank you for your continued support.

Scott & Madelyn Russell


Motorcycle Inventory: Our inventory is always fluctuating, so if you don't have time to visit the dealership, simply visit our website and check out our motorcycle inventory. The website shows current new inventory, pre-owned inventory, and access to BMW's current model offering. If we don't have a model you want, it usually only takes 7 to 10 days for us to receive a motorcycle ordered on your behalf.

Referral Rewards: If you refer someone that purchases a motorcycle from BMWOR and they disclose that you referred them to us before the close of the sale, you will be rewarded with a $150 BMWOR Gift Certificate!!

BMW FS Offers: BMW Group Financial Services (BMW FS) routinely teams with BMW Motorrad USA (BMW) in offering outstanding sales support for various motorcycle models. For approved customers, 0.9% APR plus the first 5 payments are made by BMW on the following 2004 models

  • R1150R
  • R1150R Rockster
  • R1150R 80th Edition
  • R1150RS
  • R1200C
  • R1200C Montauk
  • R1200CL
  • K1200RS
  • K1200GT
If you have ever been interested in any one of the above models, now is the time to take advantage of this offer as it hasn't been any sweeter in recent years. Current offers end 02/28/05.

New Financing Partner: BMWOR has a new financing partner, Pacific Northwest based First Technology Credit Union (FirstTech). By partnering with FirstTech we can offer competitive rates on both new and pre-owned motorcycles for approved customers. To qualify for a FirstTech account, you must live, work, or worship in Lane County or be a state employee. Interest rates will vary depending on your credit score; however, both new and pre-owned motorcycles carry the same rate per credit level.

Consignment Opportunities: Did you realize that we can consign your motorcycle? After a brief inspection and approval, we can consign your motorcycle for 10% of the sale price, but no less than $750. Other requirements include maintaining insurance on the motorcycle and permitting test rides.

Demonstrators: We have a number of demonstrator models available for test rides. To qualify for a test ride, you must present a current driver's license with motorcycle endorsement, insurance card, read and sign a waiver, and bring your own riding gear.


BMW Riders' Apparel: We are a stocking dealer for BMW Riders' Apparel in both men's and women's sizes. Whether it's the Savanna II jacket or ComfortTemp underwear, we probably have something that will suit your needs. And, in the near future we'll be receiving new Riders' Apparel products being introduced by BMW.

New Products: We continually evaluate the sales histories of our parts, accessories, and riding gear products and look for new items. So, it is likely that we will have new products coming to us on a weekly basis. For example, we now carry Schuberth's new S1 full face helmet and we're on the verge of receiving a new line of apparel.

BMW Stock Order: Our BMW Stock Orders are sent to BMW every Thursday at noon. Then, those items we ordered usually come in by Wednesday of the following week. So, keep this in mind if you need us to order something in on your behalf.

Gift Certificates: BMWOR Gift Certificates are available for the "tough to shop for" individual. Gift certificates can be made for any amount and can be used for parts & accessories purchases, riding gear, service, and motorcycle purchases.


Pick-Up & Delivery: Is your schedule so busy that you're having a tough time getting your motorcycle in for service before the spring rush? Perhaps we can help. BMWOR offers a pick-up and delivery service for its customers. Cost will vary depending on location and number of bikes being picked up. And we'll reduce our costs for multiple pick-ups in the same geographic vicinity.

Battery Maintenance: There are certainly lots of questions associated with safe battery charging for sealed cell batteries. In essence, if you have a sealed cell battery in your motorcycle, you need a battery charger that does not exceed 14.0 volts in its charging cycles. By exceeding 14.0 volts, the charger will cause too much pressure and the "seal" will be broken and therefore your battery will be ineffective in a relatively short timeframe. BMWOR stocks three different battery chargers that will work with sealed cell batteries ranging from $60 to $115 depending on your particular needs.

Spring Service Rush: While we aren't into the full rush of spring service appointments, things are really picking up in the Service Department. Now is the time to get your motorcycle in for a spring tune-up or other scheduled service interval, to ensure your motorcycle is ready for your first ride. Please call to arrange for your service appointment.

Service Loaners: As of January 1, 2005, BMWOR has two motorcycles designated as Service Loaners. These are available to our Service Department customers on a first come, first served basis. The only cost associated with this service is replacing the fuel used while in your possession.



As you may have seen in various trade magazines and on the interent, BMW is introducing some exciting new motorcycle models in 2005. The much awaited K1200S will finally arrive in BMW Motorcycle dealerships in April, as well as the new R1200RT and the R1200ST.

In late March, BMW will be launching the new RT and ST models to its US dealers in Southern California. Immediately thereafter, the first round of RT and ST models will be delivered to the dealerships for your viewing and purchasing pleasure.

April has been identified by BMW as "SPRING OPEN HOUSE" month for its dealerships. BMWOR will be holding its SPRING OPEN HOUSE event on Saturday, April 16th.


February Event: Performance Saturday will take place on the 26th. On this day, customers will save 10%-20% on the purchase and installation of performance related accessories. Performance accessories will include items such as exhaust systems, shocks, and supplemental lighting. Call the store for additional details.

February Ride: On Sunday, February 27th we'll meet at 7:45am and depart at 8:00am. We're going to head to the north and plan on meeting at the New Morning Bakery (219 SW 2nd St, Corvallis, 97333, 541-754-0181) in Corvallis at 9:00am. After we get a bite to eat, the roads will be open to additional happy miles in all directions.

March Event: Do you have motorcycle parts or riding apparel taking up space in your garage or closet? What about a motorcycle that you're ready to send off to a new owner? On Saturday, March 12th, bring those parts and gear to BMWOR and clean-out your garage. There will be no charge for you to sell your stuff on our premises, but you will be responsible for the sale of the goods. We'll also give you a chance to sell that motorcycle for a reduced consignment fee of 5%.

March Ride: On Sunday, March 13th, we'll meet at 11:45am and depart at 12:00pm for a late lunch at the McMenamin's Roseburg Station Pub & Brewery (700 SE Sheridan Street, Roseburg, OR 97470, 541-672-1934) around 1:30pm. This will give us a chance to use side roads as we head south. After a bite to eat, the return can be as creative as your imagination....

March Motorcycle Refresher Class: On Saturday, March 19, we'll be holding three motorcycle refresher classes for customers whom have purchased motorcycles from BMWOR since last summer. Each one hour class will focus on one of the motorcycle engine classes (F, R, or K) and provide customers with a refresher on tire pressures, service intervals, repairing flat tires, etc. Classes are 1:00pm for customers that purchased F650s; 2:00pm for customers that purchase R series motorcycles, and 3:00pm for customers that purchased K series motorcycles. By participating in this refresher class, you will receive a 10% discount that can be applied against the next service appointment for your new motorcycle.

April Event: Women's Day. On this day, we'll be focusing on motorcycling from a woman's point of view. On this day, women will have special incentives to purchase riding gear, motorcycles, and parts. Additional details to follow.

April Ride: On Sunday, April 10th, we going to ride Up the Valley. We'll plan on meeting at BMWOR at 9:00am and departing at 9:30am. We'll head north along Willamette Valley roads to eventually meet at Geraldi's Italian Eating Place (226 NE 3rd Street, McMinnville, OR, 503-472-7868) around 12:00pm in McMinnville for lunch. Following lunch a couple of us will be visiting the Evergreen Aviation Museum and then taking a nice ride home.

April Spring Open House: Saturday, April 16th, BMWOR will debut the latest offerings from BMW. On Saturday, come and join us for more than just a sneak peek at the K1200S, R1200RT, and R1200ST.

We want your help!! We're on a quest to collect digital pictures from customers while they're traveling by motorcycle. Then, at the end of the year, we're going to have customers that visit the dealership vote on the twelve images to be placed in the "2006 BMWOR Customer Calendar". If you would like your images to be considered for the calendar, please email them to info@bmwor.com.
