1000k for a bike that old, is not a good deal in eyes.
FWIW-I bought a 90 125(granted smaller) in 95 for 1,500$, and a buddy bought a 92 250 that same year for 1,800. Dirt bikes dont hold value and drop fairly quick...after a point they do tend to level out but 1k seems steep to me. The biggie isnt the motor but the susp. tech. like going from dual rear shocks to a single rear shock or forks design, then the brakes go from drum in rear to disk.
He prob. has alot tied up in the motor but its going to be REALLY hard to get any of that out from a 86 model. Honestly, its prob. more like a 500$ bike unless your just going to run straight threw a neighborhood and not do any dirt/trail riding.
That sounds like an uncommon (esp. for the year) motor most had gone to the 125-250 size 2 strokes, if its and enduro then they had some funky sizes. 4stroke? or 2stroke? I am guessing 4stroke, just saying its going to be harder to find stuff if its an odd motor size
