Assumptions: workshop labour €95/hour, fuel 1.85 EUR/L, oil €18/L, chain kit €180 fitted, naked tyres €320 a set lasting about 8,000 km. DIY servicing removes the labour lines entirely. Your prices will differ; the ratios mostly will not.

What Speed 400 owners actually watch

  • 16,000 km service intervals are the longest in the class and genuinely halve scheduled visits.
  • Build quality is strong but the finish rewards washing after winter salt; the engine cases mark if neglected.
  • The big-piston fork is non-adjustable and set soft; fresh oil at 32,000 km restores most of its manners.
