Answer
These are always tough calls.  If the bike runs well, no strange engine noises, and the engine oil is clean, I would look at the rest of the bike such as brakes, bearings etc.  The price does not sound unreasonable for a nicely running bike.  If it is well looked after it should give you many years of service.  Good luck,  Jan
