Depends on how much or how little you like working on an engine. Higher performance means more maintenance and a shorter life cycle on just about everything. It would be much faster than a stock or piped banshee and unless the compression is to the moon it should hold together for a decent amount of time. Provided it was well built.

Its a nice bike and still appears very rideable.

the length of the stroke is increased,,,which allows the motor to reach higher output at lower RPM's usually resulting in less wear and tear

Alot of stroker motors also run long rod set-ups. Having a longrod decreases the rod angle when the piston is at TDC, also causing less wear on the piston skirts and cylinder walls. Built right they can be very reliable, but are still going to require maintance if you want to keep it running top notch.
