that's 4/5 hours labour looking from the labout cost (bear in mind Rosso charge less than £50 an hour which is reasonable, if not cheap, for a specialist... ask metropolis their rate). In my experience, you actually get charged for time spent on the bike at Rosso, not quoted from a manual, so things are done at the pace needed, not rattled through and ticked off a list. The result is a well cared for bike.

I don't know the new bike well, but would valve clearances be due at 2 years? Belts and valves usually account for a couple of hours labour on my bike.

As for the rest, parts are parts. Rosso have never objected to be supplying my own parts where I think I can get them cheaper.

VAT is the killer on that bill for me

I have no affiliation to Ray/Marcus except I have always taken my Ducs there, and have been more than happy. Italian bikes need TLC, and they have always given mine loads
