 I liked the tech parts about cooling fin size and getting air through the fins and roller/ plain bearings. I had read that Suzuki stayed with the roller bearings for so long because they made them for other manufacturers and wanted them to be preferred.
 The history was good insight to how and why the various bikes evolved the way they did.
