Wait for a particularly nice day in the next few weeks where a parking lot would dry up.
have the guy or you trailer it to a big empty walmart like parking lot and take it for a couple loops after warming it up.
#1 check the paper work matches the bike vin
#2 Look it over super careful for damage,leaks, bad bearings, cables, chain
#3 Start it up and wait for it to warm all the way up
#4 check the lights kill switch breaks horn and all that jazz
#5 Get on it and take it for an easy ride checking how the clutch gears and breaks feel
#6 Get on the throttle hard in 1-3 those gears are often where they pop out of gear under hard acceleration
if it looks and sounds good and runs right start haggling haha
the devil is in the details .... dont want to get on a bike that is in disrepair and ride it .... makes you liable for pending issues and your risking your neck
Good luck with it !
