Yes, very well regarded but, the early 7XX and 9XX with the unreinforced TT cables holes weremost prone to cracking. The higher series bikes didnt seem to have this issue as often but it did happen on occasion. Miyata made a running change and reinforced the holes with gussets.
Persuing catalogs it looks like 1987 models or any other year without re-inforced holes would the ones to look out for. 1985 is safe.
