Help me!

I'm buying a curvy, as they look like fun!

I am no mechanic, but would like to know the main things to look out for (i.e what goes, what shows poor servicing, or if it's on it's last legs etc..!)

What mileage/life can I expect from a decently cared for example?

Are conti Road Attck tyres good on this bike? Do they last and do they stick!

What's the deal with the bike diving at the front? Will Hagon progressive springs help this out?

How long should an O-Ring Chain last if scottoiled/Loobmanned?

I'm upgrading from an early 90's GS500, how much difference will I notice in 'flickability'?
