620 or 695, and any variants of the two.

Just rember to add the cost of belts and valve adjustment if it's not done yet. That one cought me out a little. Love my 620 dark.

What will I be looking at for service costs per year?

I'm a fairly handy guy, is this something I can easily do myself with the aid of youtube haha.

you can do almost anything to your monster if you are handy and unafraid!

anyway, welcome to the board. be sure to check in with the NEMHA group over in the locals clubs section. you will find many folks in your area, some of whom might even be willing to walk you through some of the maintenance and mods.
