Want Help Purchasing a 748 98-02

Hi I'm a rider with some experience. been riding for 1 year now and really love the design and look of the 916-998 series, but i don't want too much power that I might get into trouble... I most likely will do some canyon carving and city riding.
so I have decided to try and get a decent condition 748 with around 10k milage. a few question I have... is there anything mechanical that is should be careful with the 748's and any important maintaince is should note of.

also what is a fair price for 748 with 10k milage on it? i don't want to pay too much fo the bike... so i need a market value...

PLEASE leave any advise on the topic thanks i really appriciate it.

WOW thanks for all the response on the topic, so far i found a seller on a 2001 748 with 6000miles, for $6500, so i'm thinking about taking it. but I haven't even seen the bike.. so i know there are slight scratch from a stand still drop.. but i want to look at the bike before I say I'll take it.

and about the Rockers... is that problem hard to check? any way of doing it? and would that proble cause oil leak??

thanks again

rockerT problem

What YEAR bikes has the rocker problem?
also i'm looking at two different 916 one of them is 97 with only 5k miles for 7800... that's seem like a decent deal.
but I would like to know what year are the ROCKER problem most common, and what type of problems does 916 have been know to have?

THANKS

I wish I got buddy in florida...
but thanks, I'm currently watching the auction too.
but i think it will go for at least 8500 for a bike with only 250 miles on it...
