If I were looking to replace it with anything I'd really prefer to go electric. However, thats probably cost prohibitive (even diy isn't cheap). So, alternatively I'd probably go with something a bit smaller engine wise with fuel injections. IMO carbs are a big pain.
I got a 71 cm400t with 426 original miles, I rode it for a mile after I bought it, I prefer my 998cc kawasaki a lot more hahahaha.
