I've never been on a demo days ride, but I know they're group rides so I doubt the people would be abusing the bike...I could be wrong though? And I assume kawasaki would do the proper maintenance in those 2k kilometers.
What do you think?

It sounds like a decent deal. Not great, but not bad either.
I know when I took a bike out on a demo ride, I definitely tried to put it through it's paces. I would test the brakes hard, I would accelerate hard and cycle through the gears to make sure the transmission wasn't clunky. Also I wasn't shy about potholes since I wanted to see how the suspension reacted to everyday riding on our ****** roads.
Just remember ~2,000kms is a hell of a lot of demos. Considering someone would probably not put more than 15-30kms per demo (at most).
When I bought my zx-6r I found a 2011 leftover with 0km out the door I paid just under $10k.
