And rightly so, they are not quite as reliable as your present bike and that's being very polite.

Not really but in general;
MC16's and 18's tend to be pretty cheap, sub £1000 but probably aren't your sort of thing (esp the '16 and early '18s)
MC21's are in my opinion a massive bargain right now, NSRMonkey's NSR250R is for sale here on this very site having just had a full engine rebuild (inc new Honda crank and both pistions) for a mere £1400. You can get 21SE's and even 21SP's for that sort of money too but not with a near new engine. No doubt the smart NSR money is here. If matey will run to (say) £5k for your RVF you could get something like this, another bike for running around on and sort out any issues with the NSR easily
MC28's cost lot's, probably double the price of an equally good MC21, are really rare as a result and for no reason other than they are trick. There was a really nice looking Repsol 28sp in MCN a week or two back that sold straight away for somewhere near £3500, looked pretty standard too so wanted a grand spending on it. Oddly '28se's and r's seem even rarer still in the UK.
The best history and pics of every model I've seen are here or of course here
For anyone who's curious we've discussed ths in a thead on greybike too.
