How much experience do you have?

Because you were looking at a Ninja 300, it would appear that possibly you are a new or newer rider. The 300 is a forgiving cycle that is well mannered and fun to ride.

A GSXR 600 is a different animal. It's a full-on Super Sport, and when the power comes on you better be ready because there's a bunch of it.

The one you described sounds like a bike that was crashed and the guy got it cheap (see if it's a "Salvage Title"). He did a few things to get it back on the road, and is planning to cash in. Completely repainting a cycle is a big project, and not usually something that people do unless it's been pretty rashed-up.

If it's been crashed and repaired, there will be a ton of things that you need to look at to be sure that it's safe to ride and hasn't been hacked together.
