The late registration thing is not that rare PB - I've seen it before on a few occasions. The bike (as you said) is bog standard and will pretty much remain that way apart from fitting SatNav and maybe some Renthals.
I very nearly bought a 2001 FZS from my cousin a couple of weeks ago but it only had one key and at the time, neither of us knew if Fazers had chipped immobiliser keys like Hondas do, so I pulled out because generally speaking, new key sets and ECUs cost about a grand.
It turns out they don't, so I needn't have worried after all. To be honest though, I think my cousin was pleased because he liked the bike anyway and it certainly was a minter.
