It is not excessive IF they do ALL the items listed in the Service
and Owner's manual.  

However, my experience is that they tend not to 
1.  Change the fork oil
2.  Renew all the brake seals

So if your quote doesn't include ALL these items then it is
expensive, if it does then perhaps not.

It may be that you decide that you don't want certain items done, if
so you may be able to negotiate a better price.
