Hi
Anyone know the cost of the first service on a V85.
Thanks

Varies a bit according to which dealer you take it to. Around £240-£250 seems common for the first annual service but I've seen anything between £180 and £340 -
(I'm the mug that got stiffed on the latter. I bought the bike when it was a month old, did the right thing and took it to the original supplying dealer when the first servce fell due - and ended up paying about £100 too much. I dropped the bike off the day before and double checked that they were going to check the valves - as specified by MG - and it appears they then charged an extra hours labour for doing this. It should have been included in the standard service cost. I've now got a copy of Guzzis recommended service times and will be revisiting the dealer to discuss...)
Almost certainly the wrong place to post this, but I was on the 11:20 Le Shuttle from France to UK this morning and I spotted a “71” plate V85 nicely travel stained with the Ronald McDonald paint job on the same train. He passed me later near Bracknell and I think it was Welsh, well there was a red dragon on the tank, so just wondering, was it you?
