Yup, that little box is the CDI and your frame is missing the last 3 or 4 inches at the back, but it's just two frame ears, so nothing substantial.
The quickest (and safest) way to check the condition of the engine is to take off one of the rocker bolts, insert an M6 bolt into the rockershaft and try to rock it up and down. If there's no play you're in luck. If not, well, it's sort of standard to have worn out rockershaft bores in the head. The downside, the rockers and camshaft will most likely be toast as well.
I pinned them down with some set screws to get a bit of extra life out of them, but be aware that this is just an intermediate fix. If your engine-no is starting with 48T instead of 2j2 or 2j4, you should already have the improved head where the rockershafts are fixed into place and they can't spin in the head and thus elongate the holes anymore.
The other thing you can check quite easily is by removing the cap from the camchain adjuster (it's manual) and check how much thread is still available.
You can check the condition of the inductive coils by unplugging the 6-pin connector from the alternator and measuring the resistance (engine side of course) between brown and black and red and black. Both should yield in excess of 330 Ohms to be perfect, the bike will still fire up with readings around or just under 290 Ohms. It can be converted to battery ignition as I doubt you will be able to find a company will to rewind your coil. (Old TV- and radio-repairshops used to do that overhere...)
