Can't comment about Robspeed but if you're stuck there's 5-Ways, 17-19 Walton Street in Hull (near the new KC football/rugby stadium).
Have heard good things about them for parts, clothes, etc. but don't have info on the servicing side. Can ask to find out more, from friends who live local, if you need it thought.

I haven't used Robspeed for a service, but I have for parts and just bits and bobs.
Robspeed is my closest dealer so maybe thats the reason I keep going back. I have got nothing bad to say about it. The lads there are a nice pleasent bunch. ____________________ 04 zx10r with mods - 187.4bhp at the wheel! :o |

Had the bike serviced at Robspeeds yesterday and i was impressed with the place.
The customer service was spot on, they actually did perform the service on the bike by the book (which is rare IMO) and i got to test ride a few bikes
I would definitely recommend the place ____________________ My Bikes in order:- Yamaha RXS100 / Suzuki X7 250 / Yamaha RD350LC / Kawasaki

Slower
They seem to have tamed the low down grunt and the mid range, apparently the 04/05 models were too scary, although it still has a barking mad top end rush beyond 9 grand.
The throttle seems less snatchy than mine, probably due to there not being as much power available, so its easier and smoother to ride.
The suspension feels a bit more refined, not as harsh as mine, but the turn in felt a lot slower (comparing what mine was like on standard settings and tyres to the new one which obviously is). It also felt a bit heavier, but if memory serves me correct, i think it is.
So all in all it was a bit dissapointing, its ugly as sin, harder work to chuck about and feels slower until the high revs.
On the other hand the ZRX was great fun to ride, completely bonkers, i'd have one for the grin factor alone ____________________ My Bikes in order:- Yamaha RXS100 / Suzuki X7 250 / Yamaha RD350LC / Kawasaki
