Price is almost too good to be true. Sometimes those deals happen, but be careful every step of the way. The bike has almost certainly been crashed (nobody spray-paints flat black on a bike otherwise), so take the "never laid down" as less than truthful. You can check the steering stops for damage as one good indicator of a serious crash.

Sticky thread in our marketplace has a decent checklist:
