Got their years mixed up a little with the ABS.
1995AS Model had the earlier version (ABS 1 in come circles) which used the standard two pot callipers all round plus traction control.
1996AT saw the introduction of triple pot callipers, combines brakes, Updated ABS modulators/computer the traction control to complete the package. Often said to be ahead of it's time with the ABS\TCS\CBS all in package.
Not sure I'd agree with the front spring comment as mine still has original, the rear is a different story in that the seals didn't last to long.
The swing arm I didn't think was a big issue out here; the UK and anywhere else they put salt on the roads in winter causes continual swing arm issues.
Lack of lubrication and/or the wrong grease on the final drive splines when ever the rear wheel is removed is the biggest issue followed by the cush drive.
Combined brakes might be an issue for those who tend to trail brake heavily in bends because there's no independent Front/Rear braking.
