Matter of fact, just to be able to make small-to-medium repairs might be a bit daunting with this techno-machine.

I'm wondering if possibly our current crop may not prove to be the "sweet spot" technology wise.....

Sometimes I just long for the simpler days.....<sigh>

Damn good point, never thought of this. The new bike is overkill for most applications and especially for those adventure seeking types. Nothing like the simplicity of the 2v powerplant and it pulls as hard as my 916 did, especially in second gear.

nothing exciting to look at, that's for sure
