I have owned big Suzuki's, Honda's & Yamaha (I learned about Kawasaki after a 3cyl 2 stroke 500 H1) and I would never ever get anything but a Suzuki ever.
The old GS bikes would last 100k-150K miles & I have stuck with them for 30 years.
I have an 82 GS1100E that goes from 140 to 165 mph in a few seconds & is still pulling hard (very not stock).
This summer I was out with a group & despite being geared for fuel economy, the old GS whooped the tar out
of an MV Augusta Butelle 1090(sp??) despite being over 100lbs heavier.
It was like an 82 Camaro beating up a brand new Ferrari....... At the first stop the group was lookin at it like they found a live dinosaur. The bike is older than many of the group.
I am also working on a 95 Suzuki RF900. It runs on 87 octane does over 165, at 50 mph 60 mpg at 80 mph over 40mpg. It is over an hour to safe roads for semi sporty stuff so I usually run at 35-45 mph, 1 tank of gas every 2-3 weeks.
