Having had a few techno's, mainly the later ones and then 2 rev 3's id definately go for the rev 3 if you can. Quite a bit lighter, better suspension and mine were super reliable. Airbox is better on the later rev 3's but with some sealant and a lot of patience early ones can be made pretty much as good.

No i dont. My post was simply my opinion on the matter being discussed. The views i offered were from my frequent experiances of visiting the shop or using the mail order service. I personally have had only good service from them. I feel that a lot of successful people are unfairly criticised in many situations, so i was merely offering my support for someone i respect.

To be honest i dont really think you are in any position to blame Sammy Miller for the levers breaking. What do you expect to happen if the bike is knocked off its stand ? I have dealt with Sammy miller for all my spares for the last 14 years and have always had excellent service. As for the comments on his mannor whilst dealing with customers in his shop, i doubt anyone involved in the motorcycle trade has as many people competing for their time as he does. I wonder would the people posting such comments be able to run a mail order business, a shop, bike museum, restoration workshop, fly all over the world competing and showing bikes whilst still giving up as much time as people require from him. I very much doubt it. Its always very easy to criticise someone who is well known and very successful, but who else can say they have acheived anything close to that level ?
