Then go through all the basic inspection step when buying any used vehicle/bike.
Also, $4k is high for a small liter bike like the one you want. Fair price is $2,500 to $3,500... lower price being on the lower quality side and $3,500 being excellent condition with low mileage. MSRP on a new one is right at $5k, so don't get fooled into buying almost new, when you could have bought new.

+1 you can buy a new one for ~$4K if you were persistent... You could probably pick this one up for $3500.
