I had an 88 and only rode it for a very short bit. I think that was the way the 86-88's were. I had an new 86 and from what I can remember it was a hoot to ride. There was nothing to compare it to back then so I thought it was the best it got.
    Some of the other gurues will chime in and shurly help more than I have....I hope.
