I was a bit surprised to find that I did not receive a free Repair Manual DVD with my new S1000XR as I did with my HP2 Sport. I contacted the dealer I bought the bike from and was told that they could supply the DVD but it would cost £76.20 inc VAT!

I then looked on eBay and found someone in Italy selling the same, though I doubt its authenticity, for $32.99 + $7.99 p+p. A UK seller has an older (out of date) version for £10.99.
Surely in this day & age BMW Motorrad could cover the cost of a DVD which probably cost all of £2 to produce?
