You need a nice original Suzuki GS 750 GL with 15000 Km on it and a
recent full service you do!

It's light and smooth and fastish with nice road manners.

Rules of grammar are supposed to be static. Otherwise the meaning of a sentence
can change dramatically. And if one lot use different rules to another lot then
you get problems with written communication.

The usage of particular words and how they're spelled may change perhaps.

The price of parts is not important if you never have to buy any.
