Typical problems are inexperienced riders crashing into hedges. 4000 miles new tires at $300 a set, servicing $50 every 6K miles....as a rough estimate.

 

Thanks luke, the reason i ask is because i may be wrong but a BMW and a Honda motorcycles might have slightly different prices in parts. ive been riding for awhile but was spoiled because my brother took care of everything and now i have to do it myself since i moved away to ATL.

 

Luke is fixated on people crashing into hedges... you guys must have a lot of hedges over there.

Hedges are the enemy. Proceed with caution.

You've been to England, right?

Hedges &gt; *

My grandpa even landed his boss' Range Rover on top of a hedge once. That was neat.

 

I did not notice a realtively high hedge to land ratio when I was there... but I did see Shumacher crash into walls, not hedges. Perhaps if they installed some hedges at Silverstone he would not have been injured.

England- shrubery = Hedges

Hmmm, maybe Scotland has more hedges than England (I've spent most of my time in Britain in Perthshire)? Blairgowrie has hedges all over the place.

 

Trim the hedges of very small villages!

 

Suzuki is the cheapest bike on parts. Honda will run you a little more money.

 

Tune up complete with valve adjustment will run about 250.00 GSX-R's go through fuel pumps.

The Knights Who Say 'Ni' disagree.

Shrubbery = a collection of shrubs growing together.
Hedge = a fence formed by a row of closely planted shrubs or bushes.

Crashing into a shrubbery probably hurts less than crashing into a hedge.

 

And now you must cut down a tree with..... A HERING!

 

i know doing the valves on a 929 is very tight and to get those hedges out the farings and other places is going to cost me thousands
