I got some info... don't buy one.
Do a google search on 'connie buzz' or 'concours buzz'.

Maybe see if you can find out what the grind is and get your cams
reprofiled. I think it would be pretty cheap, most likely the hardest
bit will be finding out the GTR grind.

 

Know of a good one going down here in Melb.

They go just about for ever if not abused. The motor lacks a bit of
midrange torque. They are _very_ top heavy with a full fuel tank. Many of
them scrub out front tyres (mine did). The early ones have a narrower
taller front wheel and the front brakes are wooden. The really early ones
have lower bars which many people fine too low behind the tall screen. The
fairing is good in winter, but the bike gets almost burning your legs hot in
summer in traffic (leathers needed).

Umm thats all that comes to mind at the moment

Gee that sounds suspiciously like the K100RT.
