    There's surely a mechanic you could consult? I don't think anything could be wrong with a bike like that that would be expensive except if the engine were knackered, which should be pretty easy for a mechanic to diagnose.

    Aside from that just ride it and make sure it goes through all the gears smoothly with no spluttering or flat spots. Make sure there the controls are nice and free. Make sure the brakes are effective and silent. Make sure it's tracking straight and true. Make sure the oil is fresh and topped up. Make sure the tyres have decent tread and there are no buckles in the wheels.
