Not an owner, but worked on many over the years. The engine steals the show. Watch for 2nd gear issues, as many of them have damaged engagement dogs and shift forks from botched clutchless upshift attempts. Frame and fork braces improve the handling immensely. The stock rear shocks are marginal. Brakes and forks received a major upgrade on the 93-07 models. Respond well to exhaust and carb mods.
