I think anyone who has never riddin before and jumps right into the big leagues is ballsy! Kudos. Hell, even I started out on Mini Bikes, then a Honda Trail 90, Super 90, a cool as hell bike back in the day! Went to a Yamaha 350, Honda 750, Honda Cb 900C etc. I told him just the weight difference alone can be intimidating.

I think he meant this was the first bike he bought himself, he grew up riding dirt bikes.

Not a demo, just got lucky. But if I was a betting man I would say that the previous owners wife was not involved with the purchase and not happy when she found out!
