early ones are prone to cam chain adjuster failure, a fairly easy fix though with a stronger design that is still available through honda dealers. From what I found when I had one and researched a bit, they were supposedly the first production hondas with comstar type wheels, shaft drives, v engine configuration and water cooled. I liked it, very unique design elements, it ran well though I had trouble keeping the valves adjusted, it felt solid except I had to get used to the weird feeling of the bike wanting to twist out from under you when accelerating. They seem to be very popular in England but I don't see many around here, for free if you can get a title go for it.
