Not bought one myself, never been lucky enough to get one, but a few friends have. If its not been crashed it will be fine, most bikes over 250cc are so fast you would have trouble abusing them in a short ride. Most people just pootle about and then open it up now and again. The ones my pals have bought generally have less than 500- 700 miles on them and come with the rest of the warranty but at considerable saving on new.
Go and test ride a new 1000cc plus bike and see if you can wring its neck, I would suggest a 2012/13 ZZR1400
Also worth looking at (as long as you don't change your bike every few months) is pre registered or last years (or older) models, normally these can be had with big savings but come with full warranty (I have bought a couple of these in the past).
Good luck hunting around
