The biggest thing is just generally grottiness. A couple of bad wires will REALLY ruin your day on an injected bike and if it hasn't been regularly fettled and ridden in salt a lot then a lot of bits may be corroded and seized.

General condition rather than the number on the clocks I'd say.


The fact that it's been serviced by yam rather than fettling it himself would work against it for me.
