I had great service there when I bought my SV, about 18 months ago. I would however onlydeal with the guy who sold me the bike a teh rest of tehm do seem to be rubbish.

As for labour cost it would be similar at any dealership (central London), I paid about £60 ph at Daytona for a few works I asked them to do.

Dodgy buggers - I often caught their salesmen giving out false information on parts and bike specs just for a sale, they try to do extra work on your bike although you did not ask them for it(took the bike in because it was running rough and they fitted a new front tyre - gave them a bollocking an they did it for free), my bike was one week late and had no calls about it and it took them 2 months to fit my restrictor, had my bike in for a major service(valves should have been done) and when I took it back 2 weeks later because it was running rough I got a call from the mechanic asking when the valves were last done because they were tight.
A bunch of cowboys.
