Are you planning on selling your other or keeping them both ?
If you have a garage and are keeping them both i (personal preference) would get it inside and strip it down and give it a right proper clean up (not suggesting it's dirty but the seller has done 'all weather' commuting on it). Whilst its stripped you could check all the consumable parts (tyres, chain, sprockets, plugs, pads, filters, oil etc) and replace where necessary and clean what isn't. Any threaded fixings you remove can be coppergreased prior to refitting.
I suggest this for a number of reasons but mainly 1) You have another bike to ride so you won't be off the road if we ever get any decent weather 2) You will have a cracking little bike at the end of it 3) It will teach you loads about your bike and you will get to know it inside out and about how things work 4) It will create a sense of acheivement when its all back together and looking spangly.
On the other hand, you may not be that way inclined in which case just check to make sure everything is safe and then go out and ride the shit out of it :rollin
