I realize I know very little about the bikes, but the '10 is more attractive to me. Black is not as visible as black/red, and visibility is very important. Being seen by other drivers may be the most important thing to staying alive.
The '10 seems to have been maintained better, and the age difference is not important to me.
As far as the rear tire of the '12, rear tires normally show wear before front tires look very worn, and they usually wear most in the middle, even if the rider rides the twisties a lot. 3,800 miles is enough to expect significant rear tire wear, so I wouldn't expect it was caused by abuse.
For the record, I was once a college kid who maintained his Kawasaki H2 diligently. Unfortunately for me, that was almost 40 years ago, but I still have the H2 in good condition, and still ride it.
