Congrats on the ride... Here's what you need to look at:
(A) Brake lines. Stock lines are good for four years, and your lines are probably that old now (as most '02 models were actually build in '01 -- see the VIN plate on the frame for the actual month/year of manufacture).
(B) Oil change. Any bike with that low a mileage hasn't been ridden much and the oil has probably seen better days.
(C) Fork oil. Forks should have their oil and oil-seals replaced every other year. My guess is yours will still be original.
(D) Tires -- make sure there's no dry rot or cracking. If they are the stock Michelin Macadam 90x, a tire upgrade is probably the single most effective upgrade you can make to improving the handling and feel of the bike. Recommendations are Metzeler Z6 or Pirelli Diablos.
Ride safe. Wear gear.
Cheers
