I've used a MityVac on my sport bike and on my brother's EVO Softail. I haven't had to bleed my new bike's brakes yet, but I'll use the MityVac when I eventually flush the fluid. My MityVac is about 20 years old.
Just changed out my bars recently. With two people it was a pretty quick and easy job. Took the master cylinder cap off. Oppened the bleeder on the caliper. He pumped the lever, I worked the bleeder valve. Took about 15 minutes or so.
When my husband did his bars we had the worst time bleeding the brakes. We tried the regular way, the syringe, a speed bleeder....worked on it for 2 days with no luck. The tech at the dealership told us to wrap a little plumbers tape around the valve. That did the trick and we were done in 10 minutes. Good luck!
Oh yeah. One of the problems I was having was the o-ring came off the valve so I was getting air right back in. My g/f looked down and said "is that little black thing important? Duhhh. I will be keeping her around.
