Have you looked here? Judging by the color combo and decals I'd assume early 80's. Suntour Superbe components are some of the best of the era IMO. In short...Nice bike! There is a value forum for your last question...

Go for it...
Really good vintage road bicycles are a product of frame quality material choice, assembled with care by someone who knows what they are doing and then fitted with quality components. Moreoften than not, these three elements will produce a quality bicycle that will be a treat to ride.
The Miyata you are considering is one of these bikes, in my opinion. $200.00 is a price I would pay in a heartbeat.

what size is it? I would love a nice Superbee bike. especially with those cool top mounted symetrical shifters.
