The newer model 9227 is good too, they have a soft start so the grinder won't jump or jerk when you hit the switch with big wheels on it.
They also are variable speed, have loads of torque, and will take more abuse than any other grinder.
(My oldest of 3 is 7 years and counting / polishing)
Another great thing about grinders is that they can be clamped to the edge of a table and used as a stationary machine.
I use them for small or odd shape parts that are too dangerous to do on
the 5HP, or big parts that can't be held to a buffer.
I use them for sanding too, using an 6 or 8 inch sticky pad.
The car and the bike were polished with Makita's
The bike is mine, the car was done for Nitto tires and on display at the
SEMA show in 05

WOW, the car is awesome and I thought valve covers were hard to do.
