Too true.
I had two new Contiforce tyres fitted last week on the zzr for 155 .. and balanced.
Very reasonable:
Abbey Motorcycles Ltd

Telephone: 0116-251 1919
Well recommended.
He made a point of saying they have heard of places charging 60 quid to fit and balance ..
I know a place in Hereford that does!

I've always asked to have the old tyres back after getting them changed, than I make rope swings in the forest out of them - tie a bit of rope up a tree and away we go.
Bit precarious riding along with a 17" tyre wrapped around your midriff though. Lol.
