Bought my '91 1000F in the fall of '91 for $6299 cash, and never regretted the purchase. It is sitting in the garage now, showing 161363 miles on the odo.
Engine was overhauled at 91k miles, and is due again.
Replaced rear shock with an Ohlins type 4; expensive ($1000) but worth it.
Replaced handlebars and exhaust with TBR units; the adjustable bars make a huge difference in comfort, and the exhaust system saved 20 lbs.
Have been in all the lower 48 states, and my longest trip was over 2 weeks long, riding everyday. Also did 1552 miles in less than 24 hours.
Can't understand why the resale value is so low for this incredible machine!
