i would say get the newest you can find. But it really doesnt matter if you are like me and enjoy building a bike.
I just found a steal on a very lightly used 1993 model.
I tore it down and rebuilt almost everything on it and restored it to new. It runs like new now!

What year was it that they stopped changing the motor? 87, or 88?

88 had different cylinder and head, some of the 89 had a smaller flywheel. Find a 90 or newer they are all the same motor wise.
