Bike viewing help please

[caduceus]

I'm going to view a bike soon and wanted to know what to look out for.
It's a K5 GSXR 750 with 9k or so miles.

What should I be looking for and what should I be asking? (apart from FSH) All my knowledge is in cars and know very little about bikes, so forgive my ignorance.

Thanks in advance
Cad

Thanks for the replies gents. Very helpful.
It does have a FSH and two keys.

How much should I be expecting to pay for said bike by the way?

Cheers
Cad

Anyone?
As I've seen one for £3750.00. But seems a little steep..

Sounds about right. I'd expect £4k ish at a dealer with that mileage, hist, and if it's mint.

Privately i'd be happy paying £3.5k.

Thanks for the reply.

Just need to see if there's anything wrong with it. Although it's a bit of a trek

£3.5 is pretty much what I'd offer, maybe 3.4.
He's given the ole 'a guy is coming to look at it tomorrow morning', so I only have later today to look at it. Feels like I'm rushing in to a purchase as it's going to be the first mike to look at. Not that that's a bad thing. Probably just being over cautious...

£700 insurance is the best quote I've had in what's been a ridiculous last few hours on the phone....

Thanks for the input Datsun.

I've got it down to £357 fully comp with legal & accident protection. But I feel so jaded after the rubbish I've had to endure today, I don't think I can be bothered to drive to Dorset to look at it

I live in South Somerset. At most it's properly an hours ride for me to see it!

Gimme a heads up where it is and I'll see what I can do. Not free thos evening though I'm afraid.

Thanks for the offer Tom, very kind.

I didn't go today in the end. So if the chap who is supposedly going to look at the same bike in the morning, It'll be gone and wasn't meant to be I guess..
