Have a look under the seat and find the label with the model code, it seems tdm's were prone to sitting around in dealers for a while so don't go by the reg, with that colour scheme it is likely the earlier Mk2, 2000 would be the Mk2A.
I was glad I looked into this as I looked at a silver/yellow 2000 model and looked to find it was a 1997 model, good improvements were made in 1999 so I passed on it and kept looking, that said it was the first time I had a proper look and listen to one (I was buying on a gut feeling) and it proved me right in what I was looking for and the exhaust note had me hooked, now loving my 2000 Mk2A.(which is red so much faster....)

Fyi I'm now going to ask some stupid questions in the relevant forum about chain slack.
Thanks for taking time to reply.
I bought the bike in a rush without doing any homework and really like it. Something a bit different.

4TX4 is a 1999 model MK2A, must look like this then.
You should have the better carbs, better gearbox, heftier fork tubes, and a fuel gauge.

Oh and the word "twin" on tear bodywork is also red.
Sorry when I said tank I meant fairing.

It do....but to add some confuzzlement I do not think there was a yellow and silver 2000 model, so you mayhaps have a late registered earlier year manufactured TDM!

There was, it was more of a yellowy gold though, and a 1999 model. Guinness reckoned it was yellow anyhoos.

About to get valve clearances done;don't fancy doing it myself. I would post pics but can't work out how!!
