Yeah, early 90's bikes are superior to late 90's, particularly suspension.
Know weaknesses involve charging system (regulators and undersized primary wiring) and starter sprags. Engines are relatively bulletproof, but are interference motors, so keep after belt changes.
Riding position is an acquired taste, its fine when your jamming, but practically everyone finds its painful for more than a half hour of slab or commuting. Helibars or equivalent risers help.
Tanks are prone to rust, I'd seal it as soon as you get it.
Other than that, pretty straightforward. Not the easiest bikes in the world to diy, but doable.
