So a buddy of mine is looking to buy a bike. I got him on the Katana wagon, and he's found a beautiful 2003 Yellow/Black (same as me!) 600 with 4200 miles on it. The owner is asking 4000, and the bike is in great shape. It has a Yellow windscreen, Yoshi pipe, integrated rear signals, and what looks like a well done home-made undertail. There weren't any obvious scratches, and the current owner is an avid bike enthusiast. He bought the bike for his son (about 28) who came back from iraq last fall, but has gone back over seas, and thus the bike is being sold. He might have put 500 miles on it since last winter, and before that he got it from a dealer. I want to know what I and he should be looking for to know if its actually in good shape. The bike appears to be cosmetically in sound shape, and the batt was dead when we went so it couldn't be ridden. How do I know if its mechanically sound as well?
Also, does anybody from the Cleveland Ohio Area know anything about this bikes history? Its a 2003 Yellow/Black 600 with a chrome yellow windscreen, undertail, integrated tail lights, and a yoshi pipe.
