Look for a bike owner that has kept all the old MOT's, the stamped service book etc. This shows that the owner is looking to get the best price when he/she sells it, but has spent money looking after it. Look at the bar ends, engine cases, levers and rear plastics for scratches. Ask if its the original shock, when was, if at all the fork oil was changed.
If you know someone that knows about bikes take them along to look at it. I've done 43k miles in two and a half years on one and it ran sweet as a nut. Got £2600 for a trade in. They are worth it if it's been looked after.
