I own a December 2005 CBZ Star, 51k km on the odo. Don't know if it can be called the "Classic", but yeah, the problems mentioned are pretty much the same. And did you not mention the pathetic headlight? Gosh, it gives me creeps driving on the NH at night and I have survived quite a few potholes yesterday itself. The shoddy plastics are nothing to talk about; I've literally cracked every plastic part that is there on the bike. Got it fiber welded though and saste choote.
Anyhow, this is the first bike I owned, even though its second-hand. I just couldn't gulp a Pulsar(so utterly common) and the Xtreme disappointed me severely, since I was waiting for its launch before I got this bike. Looks were pathetic, and the pickup was not so good.
For the vibes in engine and footpeg, try getting the camshaft, rocker arms and chain guide changed. Cost me 1400 and the bike seems less like a tractor. Another thing that matters is engine mounting rubbers, mine were not replaced tough. For a more hold-able top end for touring, a ZMA pushrod will do wonders(so says Praveen, who did it on his CBZ).
I am frequently attracted to the new-gen bikes, like the ZMA for touring capability, the RTR for the feature-rich speedo and of course, the R15 for the look-different appeal. But what I know for sure is this baby is gonna last me another few years before I can save up for a 250 cc+ import, and a legal one too.
