It's been said before in a number of other threads about this subject - but just to re-cap: basically if you pay list (or close to list) for your bike, then the dealer you bought it from will more than likely do your 600 mile service FOC as part of the deal - or if not totally free, then just the cost of 'consumables', which as said above is typically around £37-45 for oil and filter...
However, if you squeeze them on the OTR price (and lets face it, it's quite easy to do that these days as there are a lot of Ducati dealers out there with stock bikes to move this year), then they are going to try and claw it back in whatever way they can - they aren't a charity afterall...
Therefore, typically with compaines like Ducati Aylesbury who are renowned for discounting the OTR - they make their turnover shortfall up by expensive service costs...
