other than reliability, bikes that old usually have weaker brakes and worse suspension than their more modern counterparts. Maybe no big deal if you just ride it around town, but I would not want to ride a bike (or car) that old hard on a demanding road.
The older 4-cylinder are also considered much more tame than the new ones, so power-wise I’m guessing it’d be ok.
