Ducati 748R where to service west london.....
Discussion
I have a Ducati 748R which has hardly been used over last 2 years. Its garaged and since I moved to London I don't get loads of time to ride it as there are no country lanes near by. Anyway, I can't bring myself to sell it as it can't be worth loads so may aswell keep it. The question is - given its value do I still need to use a Ducati dealer for a service or can anyone recommend a decent specialist? Will using a specialist be an issue for resale, surely not on an older bike? Its 2001 and only has less than 7k on the clock.
I guess seeing as the last bill came to £900 odd for service and clutch I would rather keep the cost down for something that I am not using a huge amount, BUT, I don't want to cut corners. So who should I get to do the work??
Cheers guys

I'd say using a specialist is definately the better otion given where you live, as there are no decent Ducati dealers in this neck of the woods...

Bloody hell, 900 quid, seems to me a lot of guys are getting seen off on there service prices, give Baines Racing a ring in Silverstone for a rough idea of price, but belts need to be done every 2 years without fail, need that done or no-one will buy it!!!!!
I drove round the Country looking for an SPS with people who had not done that and wasted my time. (well 2 out of the 3)
You only need good independent servicing.....

Give Mike a call at MD Racing. He is a ducati specialist, used to be techie for a main ducati dealer, he now runs a small independant setup from Ewell. He does a collect and deliver i think as well. Services my 996 and several other people i know swear by him.
