Welcome to our site.
If you can service yourself, it can cost as little as £100. It is easy to service yourself. Full service history is a must for me.

Re: Long time rider...first time BMW
Difficult to answer as so much of it depends on how well the bike has been looked after and what sort of miles it has?
In general though boxer twins are easy to work on due to their configuration and don't need much in the way of specialist equipment. Always look beyond the routine though, fork seals, brake lines and a the final drive shaft should all be looked at with question, and batteries are a consumable like any other
