Default M-Reg 'Blade - What to look for??

So,

I know of an M-Reg 'Blade going quite cheap:

"M reg, all sound condition, new chain, decent tyres, 17 inch front wheel conversion, braided lines, new wheel bearings, fork seals and brake caliper overhaul kit, all valve clearances spot on, stainless exhaust, 30k miles, its fine... its a Honda"

It's had some replacement/aftermarket bodywork, a rough repaint in Kawasaki green but mechanically is well maintained by its owner (who I know quite well).

So what to look for? Any old 'Blade quirks? This would be a road and occasional track bike for me for a short stint next year. And how much should I barter him down to?

Parkers say this

Quote:
Honda CBR900 RR-R
1994/M
Original Price £8,360
Independent Dealer £1,645
Private Good £1,295
Private Poor £785
Part Exchange £920
Seeing its had the modernisations needed and a few refurbishements, but non OE bodywork in a vile colour for a blade.

I would try for £900 or less
on the quirks I'll plead ignorance on the quirks.

Thanks for that, just waiting to hear on my next destination and then I'll hit him hard with a low offer.
