A 9L should be a 1991 "SE" model, that comes with dry clutch and adjustable suspension, if its still wearing its original bodywork it should be white with red stripes, red wheels and green number boards on the seat unit. Of course it could have had a different subframe fitted and could be a completely different model.

I would say you have got a good deal for $650 Aussie dollars, thats about £420 (would have been about £1.70 before the financial crisis ) If it is SE with the dry clutch and adjustable suspension still intact it was an absolute steal even as a non runner!
