Rust on fazer 98, is it a problem?

As others have said that seems to be in very poor condition. I wouldn't expect to pay more than around £800 for something in that state.
Have you looked around elsewhere? Also is it s Fazer yiur after or just anything in your budget?
There are some very nice bikes about for £1200 Just depends where you are and what your wanting.

Here's an example from my area..

That's the kind of condition I would hope to find one in. Something that shows the owner has taken a bit of pride in it.

Speaking personally, I wouldn't touch an Srad 750, with a 2nd rate paint job and scuffed frame with somebody else's barge pole, even if the fork seals weren't pissing oil (which they are) and it didn't have dodgy stickers all over it (which it has) It's obviously been lobbed at some point.
