I'm looking at one of these at the moment. It's a 2001. Couple of questions if you have time!

Does it have A servo braking system like the 1150's? Obviously, I'll avoid like the plague if it does.

Any major things to watch out for?

Thanks.

Well no other answers so i'll chip in, i have heard some early ones could blow cranks, my local dealer had one with 32k on the clock with full history and this happened. Fuelling is a bit harsh too, plenty of grunt and decent sports touring riding position
 
I've got a 2000 bike which does not have the servo but they were fitted on the later bikes (02 on). They do suffer from output shaft seal leaks (check the engine to gearbox join for oil smears/residue) which means major work to fix. Otherwise a superb, if slightly heavy, sportyish tourer with a super smooth and powerful engine. I love mine but my hips prefer the GS! See www.k-bikes.com for a good forum on the bikes. Cheers
