Yeah I'd buy one. Just check it over the same as any other bike.

A bit of fairing damage could be enough to write off a bike. OTOH I've had bikes that have obviously been down the road at some point and would have easily been an economic write off, but no insurance claim was made. I've been responsible for a couple of those myself.

With anything a few years old there's a chance it's been dropped at some point. At least with the one with the insurance claim, you know someone took a proper look at it afterwards.
