It looks like it still has the original shock, you will likely want to replace it sooner than later as this is a definate weak point, have a look at the R6 shock thread for a reasonably priced alternative to an after market unit. I would also advise asking the owner about his regime for maintaining the exhaust valve, if he can answer to your satisfaction and even better show you that the cover plate is easily removed then you are probably looking at a bike that has been well looked after by a knowledgable owner, if he scratches his head then I'd be a bit more cautious. If you want to know what you're talking about look here - http://www.cartestsoftware.com/fz1/exupmaintenance.html and if you're considering becoming a GEN1 Fazer owner bookmark that site as it is invaluable.
