Looking for a project bike that's 1000cc or higher...

I've been into cars for about the last ten years of my life; rebuilding motors, fixing up junk, restoring interiors, you know the drill. Now I have a bike and after receiving my first repair bill (fork seals and steering bearing) I'm anxious to get my hands dirty and figure this machine out for myself, save some money in future repair bills. So, I'm looking for a project bike, something I'll strip down and put back together slowly, hopefully something I will EVENTUALLY ride, preferably a sport bike/sport touring, preferably 1987+, and for less than $1000. I'm keeping my eyes peeled everyday on kijiji but if you have something that meets my criteria, feel free to send me a PM. To summarize:

-Looking for project bike
-1987 or newer
-1000cc or higher
-Less than $1000
-No scrap metal


Thanks for the space
