I also think near enough it handles as good or better than anything does, so I keep it because I really don't need anymore power, and that's mostly what a newer bike would get me.

Now there's something I can agree with!( except that 20-30 hp is kinda a lot IMHO) When I was looking at them in '01 I think, I priced my GSXR1000 at under $10,000 out the door with a warranty. The Aprillia was looking to be about $16,000 otd. Sure it had Brembo brakes and a better suspension but not worth $6k in my opinion. To each their own is what I say.
