I just found this thread and reading it is interesting.
I have a 1996 GSX-R 750 I have had since new, I think it is one of the best bikes ever, I have replaced the battery and one light globe in ten years. When I have pulled it apart, more to fiddle than fix anything, everything is simple and easy to work on. Like it was designed to make quick changes. I have had 13 bikes in the past 20 years and most were pigs to work on.
I also have a Suzuki Bandit, great bike, it has power down low and runs out of puff just when the GSX-R gets going, but both make the same 120 bhp.
I have a 250 Ducati in pieces that I want to sell soon and a road race sidecar with a CBR 1000 engine.
