Pretty solid bikes matey, biggest problem you will have will be is it standard many by now have been modified some hopelessly and run like shite!
Some parts and now very hard to get hold of mostly genuine bodywork, lack of maintenance and poor quality build will do the rest rear shock was crap and the head races lacked grease from the factory. That said if it's been looked after and it's the very first "sling shot" the 88 J model their a classic and still bloody fast if you know how to ride them the later 89 K had poofy shiny sleeves on the silencers colours were pretty much the same on both 89 saw the black version very nice!
By todays standards they are a little lacking in the performance steaks but looks wise I still think their awesome!
