Sounds like you scored! There aren't many deals like that around ....

Consider complete review of crash bar/engine guard attachment points..The tab under the tank(the single bolt attachment) bends easily and is considered frame damage. Many times the tab could be welded/repaired but it is still considered frame damage if noticed by someone at resale. Also consider review of total bike alignment. Any history..did it fall off a trailer, hit a curb or was it a slow speed drop?
Again, on the surface it seems fine but you may wish to consider taking to dealer for a complete review before purchase.
