they are not to bad for parts the hardest part is normally pistons :(
they are a great bike no real issues just check floater linkage bearings
but all parts are available for that anyway
nice clutch and gearbox 81 5 speed 82 4 speed the 5 speeds had a few problems :'(
but when set up a great handling bike
one of the best turning bikes around 8)

doing one up slowly at the moment from the frame up bit by bit ,found a couple of 1.5mm over pistons with rings just takes time ,plenty of parts still ,my pe400 is a nightmare for nos parts  ,rm465 is not to bad ,i have gone with the 82 for the bigger front forks 41 or 42mm and i think you can put a rm500 disk and wheel on the front but i need to check this ...enjoy  ;D
