Look for the usual maintenance and repairs, check the sight glass for water, leaking fork seals are a bad sign.
And NO, the pipes are a lot different. You're going to have to buy one for the new bike.

The H's didn't change at all (other than a little cosmetics) over their entire run, so condition of the bike is more important than age. As 6riders said, fork seals, sight glass are easy indicators. Lower linkage area, chain condition, sprocket wear are easy indicators of the kind of maintenance done (or neglected) as well.
