Are Buell's pretty reliable?

I've got about 35K miles on my '03 XB9S. Been dropped a few times, been low sided twice...I've beaten the crap outta her and she still runs like a champ! I'm having a little issue now with her not wanting to go into neutral unless moving, but that's the first real problem I've had. She's also gotten slower...used to top out at about 140, and now 120-125 is max. I change the oil and plugs regularly. Only thing I'd still like to do is get her sprung for my weight. I'm 275 fully geared up, so the suspension always feels really soft.
