I bought my 2002 Triple in late January of this year, and so far (just broke 1000 miles in six weeks) I love this bike. The power, the feel of it blasting through the curves, the hum of those triples, and the attitude that it carries made this bike
a love at first ride.
As for parts go, so far that hasn't been a problem. Recently the clutch lever was broken in half when in a panic I dropped the bike when a cager in the left had turn lane decided to turn right instead (A note here...Stoppies are cool when you are planning on doing them). It took a couple of phone calls to find a dealership that had the part in stock, but that was it, and the wait at the other dealerships wasn't more than a week. As for accessories goes, I've been quoted a weeks wait for various parts, and have been told that some parts aren't shipping yet...like the "performance silencer".
Now for my one real complaint. The "trunk" is very poorly engineered, its a pain to put back on after you take it off. You have to hook the left side first, twist, and then push down on the right side and the back at the same time while standing on one leg and making sure the bike is aligned with Mars.
