Dropping the motor or tilting it is not as had as you would think, and allows much better access to work on things also better vision. It really makes the job quicker and safer for you as well as engine. The front sprocket also looks like fun. Overall for a four cylinder bike about average.
Thanks for the info. That sounds a bit more reassuring (I admit I'm not much of a mechanic!) although I don't have any illusions of it being easy. Guess I didn't really do my homework before buying the bike!

Well, if it proves to be too much, I guess it'll be on Ebay (might be sooner than later as I'm trying to score a DB4c Corse Limited Edition).
