I can understand that bikes need servicing at shorter intervals. In part it is the unacceptable weight penalty of extra oil, self adjusting valves, auto tensioners etc that mean a bike service interval has to be shorter. I would question how short though? 6K for a kevlar belt is short IMO.
With advances in technology the car industry is moving to the point where you will not need to service your car at all. The engine will in effect be a sealed unit that you throw away after 15 years or 150 000 miles.
Bike service intervals seem to get shorter and shorter. People are prepared to accept things on a bike that you would not accept with a car. I moan that the wifes car cost £125 to service after 10000 miles.
