No, you bought a second hand genuine fazer that may have some Original (frame etc), OEM (NGK spark plugs), pattern (Hi-Flo oil filter) or other aftermarket( taller screen or rad guard) parts fitted if someone has gone near it with an oily rag.

Aftermarket/Pattern both mean a non-O.E.M/Genuine part to me.
