Even on my 18 vs my 13 model I see areas they have saved weight. The clutch cover I feel like I could kick a hole in. The head has little substance to it (does it impact cooling ability, I'm not sure). The thickness of the tank is substantially reduced.
Will these impact it's lifespan? Maybe.. One thing you see with GG is that there are still a lot of people getting around on bikes over 10 years old. Some getting closer to 20.

Expansion pipe thickness is WAY thinner on these new 18's..
I bought the HydraForce kit from the UK. And I'm glad I did.
