One of the most important checks to make is sure the gearbox is OK.
The FZS600 is prone to knackering the dogs on 2nd gear particularly if it's been ridden by someone with a lead foot. Test ride the bike, or get a friend who's some experience with bigger bikes to do it for you. When changing up into second and giving it the beans you should be rewarded with brisk acceleration... if it drops out into a false neutral and the revs go sky high, walk away.
