I did LOVE it.
It ran like a top, I think the only repair I made, was cleaning the fuel strainer in the rear mounted electric fuel pump.
My lever shocks leaked, so I was adding oil monthly
I had a Wire wheel turn into a pile of spokes after bumping a curb in the rain, so you can imagine how hard it was to keep them true with pot holes and such.
The gear box was easy to get used to, the short throw was fun
I wish I still had it.

My side view mirrors were mounted near the front of the fenders, like the Japanese VX, and totally removes any blind spots
