It shocked me that the service price is nearly 20% of the bike value!!

Is that a normally price?
I live in North London Kilburn, any recommendation?

Thanks
Thing is, if you need major service I assume you mean valve clearance as well. That takes time. And knowledge. And parts. Now I'm not the biggest fan of Metropolis on here and thinks that independents do a far better job than many of the main dealers I think that the price is not too bad if you consider there is 300 quid in parts alone and they charge an insane amount of money per hour.
I can't see how you can carry out this at 400 quid all in but hey, heard this numbers before and if that's what you want to charge good on you.
I know I have a vested interest in this but in London few people come more recommended than Rosso Corse
