My 07 is still going strong.

Wheels are expensive. Rims aren't. YouTube a wheel rebuild. I learnt by just doing it. Piece of Piss. Spokes are rugged if you haven't let them rust.
Penetrating oil and electric screwdriver makes it even easier.
No kidding. I have a '99 and '00. I am doing the '99 top end now. no problems. Getting a full grease on all the bearings as well as new silicone hoses.

The cheapest bike to have is the one you already own.
