all of that would be almost identical to consumables for other makes/models. As you say, labour wasn't too bad, and Rays rte is very cheap for London. All bikes use tyres, chains, pads bearings... and damage is always more expensive than you think im my experience (not matter how slight it might be)
I honestly think the servicing cost myth on Ducatis are higher because PEOPLE ACTUALLY LOVE, CARE FOR AND SERVICE THEM!
(except for valve clearances and belts, which you didn't have done here?)
I have mates with jap sports bikes who don't service for 2-3 years!
Mine is in to Rosso Corse at least once a year, and I change oil a couple of times a year etc.
