They are easy to work on though, and easy to service yourself, even down to removing the the shaft drive and changing the final drive oil. Cracking bike, I just couldn't justify the price. 

[Paul littleford]

Yep , only live once 

And on a PCP package , could always part ex for something else.

I have just had an oil and filter change on my R1200rt pretty much same engine and it was £139 this is classed as the annual service 

 

Only had it since June so can't say what cost the 6k and 12k services are also it will depend if the drive oil needs to be changes at the time and also the brake and clutch fluid

Hi

I did actually watch a YouTube video and the chap on there was saying that his f800gs cost him around 500 euro's for his 10k mile service. ( in Germany)

If you're worried about the cost then find a good local independent thats VAT registered you would probably cut the costs in half without voiding the warranty

With a 1250, given the bike will be new or a year or two old max, I'd say stick with a dealer service. When you come to sell it on or px, you'll find that potential buyers will likely to very sensitive to having a full dealer service record - and there will be plenty of other bikes to buy that have it. With an older bike, you have a different set of potential buyers, so if you're sure you're going to be keeping the bike for several years, the independent makes better sense.

Either way, as said above, phone them up and give them a call. 

When I had my 1200, I found the dealer service costs weren't that bad - perhaps £500 or £600 every 12,000 miles. The independents used to undercut this by about 15%. But the costs came in hard when things went wrong, so when the normal warranty runs out, I'd recommend getting the extended warranty. It's about £400 a year, but can save you shedloads.

My 2018 R1200R cost £213 for first annual service,  £250 for second year including brake fluid change at BMW dealer

£100 per hour labour plus parts. Is about average for bmw.

To be exact its £95.99 where I went to yesterday! but unlike other places they divide that hour by 12 and charge you accordingly for the work

 

Most places charge a flat hour even if the job is only 30 mins

If you are buying it on a PCP, although its perfectly ok to do it,  non dealer servicing may affect the guaranteed minimum future value (GMFV).... As always .. read the contract!
