First service at Ducati London South - good price

Just had my S4R in for it's first service. Not only is the Service Centre Manager, William courteous over the phone but the cost came in at 193 quid. Not bad eh?

£193

Not a bad price for an oil & filter change + 36 cups of tea (in Ducati corsa mugs) for the mechanics

Better start saving for the 6K service, and enquire about a second mortgage for the full 12K jobbie methinks?

And I just paid that for a car's full service (and I mean full in the old fashioned sense of properly done..) and cambelt change!

Us? Ripped off?? Never...

I had mine done earlier in the year @ DLS, it was around £300, from memory.

I read recently that obligatory servicing by (rip orf) official dealers is no longer necessary with cars. bikes should now be that way too arent they?

yep until u need some warranty work and then they feck u in the eye. slightly off topic but I recently sent a lovely letter to the MD at ducati uk praising the service that i had received from ducati insurance. a gem of words and i expect in today's day and age pretty damn unusual. I got no response at all. for an "italian"ish company they really do seem to be a pretty horrible bunch. monti from maranelllo is lovely in comparison.
