Instead of shopping for "horsepower", consider shopping by engine size. Older bikes at 600cc and smaller (500, 400, 250) will be under that 80hp number you were talking about. Look at USED early-mid90s bikes, and try reading the "stickies" at the top of the forum for more "newbie" advice. If you have any other questions after that, come back and ask.
