If it is going to be a "second" bike, how long will it take you to run 6000 miles? If you have to throw $500 to the dealer every 18 months, big deal. If someone is doing 25k miles a year I would think the cost of service is an issue.



Someone will chime in if the S2R 1000 is going to be on the longer service intervals as the new 1100s.

You were eye-balling the $20k tourer and the $9999 "play" bike weren't you?

I've had two ducs and a bimota with a 904cc 2v duc motor. No problems. Dealer did the valves, I never thought about trying it myself. Do it, the RT will sit around the garage a bit more on the weekends.

I'll bet with you. Made the same comment below about the RT having more garage time.

I wanted to take credit for that PM.

Around here. I'm hear to feel like I'm smart, I don't own a motorcycle.

Wrong

The new service interval *IS* 12000 KM, which is 7440 miles. That applies to the new DS1000 as well as the new 1100.
