Well, there's less hoses and fans and stuff that can go wrong, and some
people think the older a/o cooled motors with big fat cooling fins all
over 'em look nicer than the slimmed down water cooled ones.

I change the coolant every 3000 miles.  That would be the motor oil,
silly.

Yeah, but the Bandit's got more torque and the motor makes cooler
noises.  But like Beth said, they're both great bikes.  I'm happy with
both of them.
