Did the bloke not change the oil for you then? Bit of a bummer if he hasn't, You said he would throw it in, only asking because you said you're changing it tonight.
There's an old saying I go by ''If it ain't broken don't fix it'' but you can be proactive and keep it up together!
If it was me with a bike with no history and you're dubious of it pedigree I would do everything bit by bit and yes starting with plugs oil and filters.. don't forget the inline fuel filter too can get a little clogged if it's not been changed for a while.
Also why not check the colour of your brake fluids they should be a straw colour or there abouts (I think I read somewhere it should be changed every 2 years anyways) DOT 4 it uses, as I said if I didn't know it's history I would do it anyway and start with a clean sheet so to speak, coolant levels check and or change don't just add water put mixed antifreeze in or you'll dilute what you have already got in there, brake pads all round, chain sprockets (any flat spots in the chain)?
The list is endless really it just depends how much you want to spend bud but you need to be able to stop go keep on going and stay on the road so anything that helps you to do that check and see if it's alright.
Stay safe and enjoy
Cheers
