on the plus side, jap bikes don't sound like they are rattling apart when they come to a stop, SSSA's are heavy and not as rigid as a dual sided swingarms, even the new gixxer 6 has Showa BBF and Monoblocs, pretty much all sportbikes are under 400 now, and why would I want a 30" seat height? I'm not a midget...
I guess you really haven't looked at any jap bike in the last 10 years... and a 749...that's a great looking bike
