Been lurking here for a while. Interested in picking up one of these gems. Since I am not up on the changes from year to year what years are or seem to be more trouble free than others? I know there are differences in carb manufacturers and am more familiar with Keihins than Mikuni. Differences in suspension between the Sport and the others and a few other differences but what changes really made a nice difference ?
I have plenty of time to look but am getting more serious about it. Currently there are two for sale near me in Central Florida. One in Orlando and one closer to Ocala. Both in Craigslist. The Orlando one is a 96 with a 2003 engine/trans. The one near Ocala was made with parts from a couple different bikes but sounds like the guy is an enthusiast and knows what he is doing.
One other, a Sport, near Gainesville. Been emailing on this one and it is not running and sounds like a kid that owns it from the way he writes.
Thanks for your enlightenment!
