Will let you know how it goes!

Why are the SP's so expensive to service

It looks like the 16,000mls service includes the valves clearances

Mellis you will have to get used to twins again now. Hope it is all the bike you are after.

I forget whose moniker says it but twins have so much soul. I can't wait to try it. It will be a while before i pick it up but i will be riding from Bognor to Guterlosh in the first ride!! Should be fun!!

Ive often thought that too Chris.

I can imagine them not being the easiest bike to work on (ala RVF400) with everything tight, compact and hard to access?

Maybe its the labour that pumps the price up?
