Today I collected two of my friends that took their new bikes to dealers in Cape Town for their first service.

BMW GS 800 Adventure at Donfords R1500.00 for an oil change and chain adjust,
Honda Africa Twin at Honda Cape Town R1495.00 for an oil change and Chain adjust.

Now if this first service is so expensive, what is the service going to be if they have to do other work.
That is also very expensive oil and chain lube.
these cars come with a service package, why not the bikes.
At that price, I think I will stay with my 13-year-old 950 Adventure, and they say KTM is expensive to maintain.
