I have an 04 with SMG, and while my experience hasn't been perfect, it's nowhere near as bad as yours.

I had some problems with tires (PS1)and tramlining, but a subsequent switch to PS2's cured that immediately...

I don't think my Assist has ever worked...

I don't burn oil at all. Not during break in, not now. I bought 3 quarts anticipating some, but haven't needed them. I don't baby the thing either.

Overall, my only two gripes are the way the SMG control module hesitates to engage 1st, and the number of windshields I go through.

Is there a way to wire an iPod into the stereo? Or just the SD cards?

... unless we're talking sport bikes.

I didn't want to...went through a divorce, had to liquidate. The car was flawless, but it did blow an AC hose.

Sold it to a friend, I see it often.

... I know for the 111R and Exige the Ohlins are recommended to be serviced every 12 to 15 months, or sooner if you have reason to suspect there is damage. Most do it annually in the spring when cars are coming out of storage after the off-season.

... thankfully, I still see my Aston and Lambo... in fact, I "babysit" the Lambo so the battery doesn't drain pretty often when its new parent is out of town -- and it's only a few blocks away :-)
