They are out there matey but you'll dig deep into your pockets. I've looked at several over the past couple of years, all priced around the £7/£8,000 and all in need of considerable work. Be prepared to pay £10/£12,000 for a halfway decent example and don't say no to a 250 or 450 if you can find one. Remember, these ain't just Enfield Wanabees and you have to pay for the real McCoy. Whilst those wily Japanese were selling us their cheap'n'nasty plastic kawayamahondukis in the 70's they were buying up the quality european bikes that we could n't afford so Japan is a good place to start looking if you're serious. Here is a nice little test of the 250 desmo, similar to one I raced back in the day and probably the best of the bunch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZj-c0sw9GE‎
