Great. I wouldn't worry about the maintenance on a bike with 6k miles, even if it is 6-7 years old. The 1k should have been done by the dealer, so if nothing else was done since then (unlikely) it's not all that bad since it wasn't riden much.
I'd be more concerned about brake and clutch fluid changes as those are based on time, "Flush brake and clutch systems and replace DOT 4 hydraulic brake and clutch fluids every two years or sooner if moisture 1
content is 3% or greater". But on a used bike, I change all fluids once it was mine, unless the engine oil had just been done. Check those off the list, ride and enjoy!

I take good care of my vehicles and lord knows back in the day I could have been a repo victim. Like others said according to the mileage I doubt he was running around beating it. And I’d hope they threw in the initial service in on purchase.

Not every guy that loses a bike or a car tears it up out of vengeance against the world because they couldn't keep it (although we've all heard stories like that.)
I think you did the right thing picking it up.
