"The relative simplicity and ease of getting at pretty much everything is a big part of the attraction for me. Even though bigger services are not that regular (if you want a laugh (or cry)) try changing the plugs on say a ZZR1400 or Crosstourer. Pig of a job. "
I can adjust the valves and change the spark-plugs on my 1976 Honda CB750F in about 90 minutes (depending on how many valves needed adjusting). The fuel tank can be removed in about 60 seconds, with no tools required, and it doesn't have to be drained prior to removing it. It's a PITA to remove the fuel tank on my CB1100, especially dealing with the fuel line quick disconnect. Neither the valve cover or the cam has to be removed to adjust the valves on the 750. Oh how I miss the good old days!
