I was having a similar dilemma with my Gen 1 a couple of months back.
Rides and goes perfectly. Maxton suspension, Ivanised, Akrapovic, Dyno'd at 137 bhp at the back wheel, but tatty as fook, with 44k on the clock.
I had a good look around at more modern replacements, test rode a few, but nothing sang to me.
So I blew £650 on a paintjob, engine clean & paint, and having the bits spruced up. I'm now happy as Larry,( but a bit guilty at shamelessly ripping off a colour scheme I found on the net.)

If it ain't broke... hit it harder..
