Cost of RS ownership

[Grumpy Goat]

If you take your bike to the shop for service the labor cost of the LC boxer is similar to the Brick K bikes.
Labor on a Slant four K1300 will be higher because it is time consuming to get at the plugs and valves.
...

I would assume the 6 cylinder bikes would be more expensive, largely for that reason (access) and also simply more cylinders and their valve trains.

But that aside, any out of pocket repair costs for the RS that would add to the cost or ownership?

I have not had too many issues with the RS over its 32k miles, of course not counting the accident. Also the cost of tires that were replaced due to punctures have to be adjusted accordingly. Unlike Darrell I don't have all expenses tracked so I don't have these numbers at hand so easily but hope to add that to this thread at some point in the near future.
