What about spark plugs? Change them or leave them if the bike seems to be running well?
Engine oil and filters (oil and air). OK, brake oil as well. Then just ride. See if the bike grows on you, see how it behaves. The rest can be changed at the end of the season, if you decide to keep the bike. Unless you're planning a long trip, just ride it.
Things that you don't know when were changed/checked, assume it's about time to change/check. Valve clearance, cam chain condition, shocks (oil and seals for front and whether the rear needs a change / rebuild), battery, electrical contacts, coolant. Check wheel and steerer bearings for play.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
