Go faster gold :rollin :rollin :rollin
If it's gold as standard it will be either 5DM7 or 5DMA (look on the frame under the seat) these are 2000 models that have sat around in the supply chain or dealerships until being registered in 2002. In which case it's what knwn as a 'box eye' i.e. two square headlights, if you look here http://foc-u.co.uk/index.php?topic=34.0 you can see all the model differences.
Fazers are very solid bikes, if there looked after they go on and on, even when neglected they still keep giving. Their Achilles heel, is the rear shock on all models, as standard they last no more than 8k and the rear caliper. Other areas that need looking at and some TLC, front calipers, drown tubes/collector these rust through, chain sprockets.
That's about it really, yes they're other areas but on a 20k bike these shouldn't be an issue. If the above are all good and the bike is clean, you've got a gem my friend look after it.
