Look for the usuals (dropped, wrecked, leaks etc...) body pieces are expensive (but easy to find)

check the charging system if possible (rec/reg goes bad)

RIDE it...see how everything feels

When you get it home, go through the whole bike. It's basically 10 years old now.

I've had mine for a little over a week now and like it more every ride.
