How so? 1730 Euro was what they spent in service and repairs. That was about 17% of the total cost of the 50,000km test run.
The remainder of the costs were the same whether you owned a Buell or something else (tires, brake pads, oil, spark pluts, filters, etc.). They'd have had the same number of tires, spark plugs, filters, etc. if they were reviewing a Ducati. The service costs would have been much higher as well as the cost of parts.
I saw it as pretty low cost of ownership.
If you just looked at the "service and repairs" component alone, it came to .03 Euro per mile.
I didn't think that was too expensive.
