750, more advice for me, please folks. - SV650.org

For my sins I fancy getting a late 90's early 2000, SRAD 750, for the road as opposed to track.

I can see a good few on sale at around £1700-£2000. Now I know very little about these bikes, well very little about most bikes actually.

Appreciate any thoughts or advice on what to look out for on these, any real hidden horrors? Or indeed if you think there are better 750 sportsbikes to be had for the same price range.

Whatd'ya reckon good people, help me out?

IB go for it.

You'll struggle to get parts for most of the other 750's (YZ/FZR, ZX7). The odd ZX7 Track bike does pop up, the last one I saw was a steal for £1500 (had about 1k of susp work refreshed)
the only thing I can think of is cam chain related, but that was on K1 600's
