Workshop rates are 50-60$/hr and up these days. Doing your own work on modern machinery isn't that different than doing it on old equipment if you know what your doing. It's all the same parts, just arranged a little differently. Shop manuals and parts PDFs online for those who know how to look. The pain is on fully fared bikes, especially inline fours.With the proper software and cable , checking/erasing error codes, checking throttle body balance, making fueling/timing changes, redline cutoff, idle, etc can be done with a few clicks of the mouse. Dealer is only needed for parts if you want them locally or you can go to the net for them. Tuning a fuel injected bike on a dyno is a thing of beauty and efficiency compared to swapping jets, playing with needles etc.There are other modern bikes far better for the street than a four cylinder fully fared bike. My preference is for naked twins
