New guy with a question

DJK · 04-22-2011, 10:39 AM

I just finished my BRC class last Sunday and used a GZ250, which I really liked and I am planning on buying one. I am a 56 year old male total newbie.
I am going to look at a 2008 model later today that has about 1800 miles on it. My concern is that it has hardly been used in the last year, if at all. He was up front about that. What kinds of things should I watch for or plan for with a motorcycle in this situation? He says it's been "serviced" and is ready to ride which doesn't tell me much, especially being a rookie.
I'm really excited about continuing my learning to ride properly and safely. I appreciate any input, ideas and help you can give me.
