Unless you're a really hard-core with access to all the toys, the cheapest way to
make any substantial gains on your beastie is going to be sell it and buy a newer model.
Most of the HP mods etc are developed when the bike was current and it was as good as it got.
On a 25 year old, such as you're talking, it would almost be equivalent to
putting a 400HP V-10 Vortech in a Pinto. The chassis is going to need substantial
modding as well, to really make it worthwhile. By then you've dropped 2-3 grand (conservatively).
I don't want to truly discourage you, if that's your thing. Just be aware that the you'll never recover
your costs, except by brag rights and lots of saddle time, when you're done.
