Much like car ownership. As long as it works there is no need to know

Would you buy a car with a sealed bonnet? Or would you buy one that can
be opened and its parts examined?

When I'm looking for a new car I always open the hood to make sure the
common parts replaced during PM are accessible. With my last three Toyotas
the plugs and distributor are moot since the plugs are fired by individual
coils mounted on the plug and are not on the maintenance schedule. 5000
mile oil changes are, and I can reach down from the top to replace the oil
filter. 

I've favored straight engines since they're usually easier to work on and
have had straight 2s, 4s, 6s, and 8s.  I do have V twins on two of the
bikes.
