Yeah, 99's were yellow. Ask if its been painted. Thge black ones were within the last 2 years I believe. If it has been painted, it may have been dumped at some point.
Just check the bike over with a fine tooth comb and look for any signs of repairs. Or any parts that look much newer then other parts, ie - case covers, pegs, etc. Also, run a small magnet over the gas tank, if there are any spots that the magnet doesn't stick- there's bondo under the paint.
If it was down, that doesn't mean its still not a good bike, just check it out good. Take it for a good ride and go from there.

Re: lookin at a superhawk but....
check the date of manufactuer on the side of the frame, next to the VIN. It may have been MADE in 99, but was probably sold as a 2000 model. I believe the 2000's were black.
