Ensure the dealer has ironed out all the problems associated with sitting for a while.
Fuel leaking from the carbs into the engine can be a problem with them (and any bike), as the seat seals dry out.
Ethanol in fuel can do this too....
Make sure it has some new tyres on it.
There may be lots of tread on the originals, but they will be plastic by now.
Check brake disc wear. If there is a lip on the front disc, then I would suggest it has done more than 11k....
Also with these, make sure the fuel flap, and all the other tricky bits work well, without a second attempt.
As for the performance itself:
A little more sedate than the GSXR brother, but same motor, and perfect for city commuting, as you are aware, as it has the helmet tank.
Oh, you say it is your first bike... how much riding have you actually done?
There is a lot of expencive plastic on these..... So dropping it won't do much good at all..
If you have off road experience, then all good...
