Well, got a 2000 registered 99 model myself so I would make sure its actually the 2000 model and not an older one, not a huge difference between the two but I gather the later one is a bit stronger gearbox wise and a bit more power plus a bit lighter, though what was the dogs danglies five years ago is way behind the 04 bike I rode a while back, I only keep mine because its mint, low miles and fun to ride, the only things specific to this model R1 to check are the gearbox and the headstock, ie it hasn't been knocked oval by hard wheelie landings, obviously the rest needs checking as with any older bike, and I wouldn't touch any bike that wasn't pretty much standard, perhaps with the exception of any ohlins kit. :burnout:
