Thanks guys. It is a 1989. Not the real GP model raced by the factory, the production racer. I am told suspension is fresh and engine will be rebuilt including new cases and replated barrels as it was seizing before present owner bought it. I know the bike, it was owned by one of the members of our vintage club and he won the overall championship on it one year. He is a much better rider than i, I'll never come close. I am told that parts availability can be very challenging because there were so many significant changes to that basic model over the years.

On the NSR, I have already been through all that and it is almost ready to go with a frame up rebuild, everything new or reconditioned. It may never appreciate as much but I just want to ride and don't have a lot of time for constant maintenance. I don't think i'll miss the extra 10 HP.
