Looking at the list it was mainly checking, which is ambiguous to say the least. Do they check brake pads by just gawping at the edge with the calipers in situ, or do they remove the calipers, and inspect the pads properly? It also appears that they didn't change brake fluid or coolant, it should be every two years, although I prefer to do it annually.
My 7.5k service can cost that sort of money if the bike needs a full complement of service parts, & a set of pads or two, but people do notice a distinct difference afterwards. It can also be done while you wait, so you can get dirty too  .

+1 for everything the good man said
I got my 11k service done (bike was actually around 12k when I got there - what with coming from another planet & all
). Spanner Man spent a good 7 hours tinkering with my bike, and the difference was VERY noticable afterwards!!
All for the princely sum of £175 IIRC. 7hours my bike was in his garage! At stealership labour rates, the labour alone would be £280!!
Oh yea, and SV650.org members get a discount from him too!
(shameless plug for you there Spanner Man)
