Amazing that the price in 1990 was more than I paid for a brand new GS500F three months ago.

There is very little that can be "modern" about the internal combustion engine without falling head first into the "exotic" category (like Ti valves, or oval cylinders for example) or into the impractical and unreliable category (like pnuematic valves) or unneccesary like motorcycles with automatic transmissions.

The surrounding real estate is where there is practical gains to be made by making it modern. FI, with a few dozen sensors that will let it tread that perfect sweet spot of fuel economy, power, reliability and engine longevity and clean emissions, composite tanks that dont rust or dent, active suspensions that are fantastic in nearly all real world conditions, smaller and more powerful alternators, and heck I'd like to see a starter and alternator in 1 unit cos they are essentially the same but in reverse, coils in the spark plug caps etc etc ...
Cool.
