Default Buying advice

Hi all,

New to the forum as I have been after a new bike for a while and decided on an sv650 due to the great reviews. Just after some advice regarding a bike on fleabay, it's an 08 sv650 12k miles with service history upto 8k and then the new owner has done the rest, it's had the following work done to it;
Scorpion stubby exhaust
Zzr rear shock
K-tech progressive springs and heavy duty oil
Airbox mod with k an n filter

I'm no mechanic but from what I've read the suspension upgrades are a good idea - my main worry is that the bike hasn't really had any interest making me think I'm missing something? Does it seem like a rough bike?

Just for context I'm fairly new to riding and haven't ridden for a year or so, I'm wanting something to get me around but it will be stored outside under a cover and used throughout winter so I don't want to spend a fortune. For my budget I seem to be able to get decent looked after curvy or a low end pointy that doesn't have service history etc
