I have a friend you religiously trades his bike in every 2 years or so. He says he likes being on a new bike. His trade in usually has very few miles on it, probably around the 10k mark.
He just did his first big service on his 07 RK and it was somewhere around the 1000.00 mark for everything he did.
Now here is the question I have, if you where like him and trading in every 2 years (we are in canada so we can only ride about 5 months a year) why would you do anything to the bike, and i mean anything, why even change the oil, just ride it, its under warranty if something breaks, and the mileage you would put on would not be enough to really damage the motor, but why care anyway, you are trading it in....just a thought, you could save a bunch of money on service...

You have no idea. 
Trev Deeley adds their slice of the pie on top of things, and generally speaking our prices for parts and supplies are 25 - 50% higher. Everything I purchase, unless needed immediately, I purchase through some of the US online dealers (20% off) and have shipped. Even when the exchange was $1.5 Cdn for $1 US, I still saved 25% by purchasing from down South.
