I didn't stray far

Both my mates have recently had a refresh done by John. Both 2019 bikes with under 4K track only miles. In the region of ?1,500 each to get done.
I test rode the new one on the Aprillia day at Cadwell. Compared back to back to my m mates 2019 and wasn't keen on it. Prefered my mates. But tbf the new one was in road trim although set up for track.

Did they get a wear rate regarding what it should be and what it was at refresh time?
 
Im sure they did.
Personally apart from the expense, I'd not be keen opening up the engine having that work done and the possibility of a fault occurring due to that work. Especially if it has to be that frequent.
 
?1500 seems a good deal for a refresh and peace of mind. I know i would rather have that, than an engine grenading itself at full chat. Pretty sure BMW recommend 4500 track miles. Alpha Racing race engines are 5000km refreshes.
