Good deal on a used R1, but...

I'd agree and go a bit further.
Remove the plugs and pour a couple of cc of oil into the bore. Let it sit a while so it finds its way into the ring lands.
Change all the fluids, Oil, water, fuel and then turnover for a while with the plugs removed. This allows the oil pump to pump oil up to the head and get everything nicely oiled before starting.
The problem with sitting so long is the oil can drain away and what's left trapped can 'sour' over time. Then pop the plugs in and start it up.
Run it for 100 miles and change the oil again.

That sounds like a worthwhile precaution. You can do it for free, so why not?
I'd only add checking the brakes for sticking pistons, calipers, etc. Pull the pads out, clean and grease, replace. New fluid too, it's supposed to be replaced every 2 years.

Still haven't bought it yet guys, not a huge amount of interest in the BMW it would seem. Dropped the price to £4750 which has gained another watcher, but not much else.

My cbr600 had been sat for 3 yrs it needed new injectors / rail and new oil. Done 3000 mile since

I'm flogging a set of Akrapovic Titanium cans and a Power Commander III for one of these R1s, if you're keen.
