Default GSF600 Bandit - please help

Hello guys. I'm wondering if you can help me out. i found this bike on craigslist:

LESS THEN 1,000 MILES - 2003 BANDIT 600 GSF


It's seems to be a very good deal... The owner told me he hadn't ridden on it because his fiance and family are against him riding. It's been standing for over a year.

Currently needs full tune up + battery. He said I can give him a deposit and he will take it to the shop and do the tune up. He said he's been down once on the gravel, but he was almost standing still when he laid the bike. It was more of a slippage when he tried to ride away after standing. Only handlebar is scratched and the tip of rear brake pedal is broken off.


I also asked him how he broke it in. he said he rode it like he would ride it if it were already broken in.

To make a long story short, do you guys think it's a good deal? For around $2500 he will give me a full tuned up bike... Can I go wrong with the price? What should I look out for when I go check it out tomorrow?

Sorry, one last question. I am looking for a bike that has a more upright riding position and the owner told me that it's not a crotch rocket and it's more upright, not like a cruiser but like a standard bike


Thank you so much.
