Not sure where these dealers get these numbers from. My Honda mechanic said the book allows only 6/10tha of a hour for the first service.They must me charging $200+ an hour!
Is anybody worth that?

My dealer is going to do the first service for free, he does it on all the bikes he sells.
Free first service seems to be customary in Europe, but far less so in the USA. Personally I wouldn't take it back to the dealer even if it was free, since I wouldn't want them messing up my bike. Sorry to be negative, but I've just had bad personal experiences with dealer service. The only reason mine ever go back is mandatory recalls.
^^^^Agree 100%. Not negative just prudent. No one will take better care of your bike than you.
And I thought that the States was the land of free enterprise and competition where the customer comes first or the company dies.
I've no aversion to home spannering but I trust the dealer implicitly, he's been around for years and years and has nothing but excellent reviews and feedback.
I may end up doing an oil change every 4k miles and take it to the dealer for the 8k service intervals when it requires more than an oil and filter change. I'm OK with some basic stuff but wouldn't want to go and f*ck my new bike up AND void the warranty, I'm a bricklayer for crying out loud!
