Yeah that's what I was worried about, anyone got a carfax account? I don't wanna pay for one just to check one bike.

bikes don't show on carfax as far as i know
someone needs to start a motorcyclefax. probly only reason noone does is the majority of totalled bikes are never run through insurance, so it would be near impossible to get accurate reports

impossible to total one of these bikes and not know it when you look at it.
blue looks good if done right like mine was but black or all white is way nicer. ask him if he has replaced the fuel pump yet, cuz if not plan on spending 300 to replace it maybe talk him down another hundo or some shit.
checkout the inside of the radiator fins to see if any are crushed in, easy way to tell if its wrecked, like i did to AJ's after he wondered why his would overheat and mine never did lol.
throw some stunt pegs all over it and an idle cable and go to town, toss it around the lot a few dozen times and have a blast, bikes are damn near indefuckinstructible.
