For a starter it looks like the bodywork has been painted which would suggested its been dropped by the previous owner. The frame has scuff marks on it, suggest its also hit the ground - if the frame has any cracks - walk away and then lastly WTF happened to the underseat compartment its like it caught or was set on fire - you would have to replace ALL the eletricals on the rear of the bike and possibly the main loom. Imho, this bike would only make sense to another FZ1 owner who could strip it for spares.
Just keep an out for a medium mileage FZS1000 on here, such as the following - http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=24707.0 and its close enough to your budget that you mentioned to me in your pm. And it looks like Mustang also has a FZS1000 for sale.
But I know you said you wanted a blue one, and as all the ones on Autotrader and piles of shit I had a look on ebay -
