Had mine for 3years and abused it for 36k. An R reg. The ones with the low bars and 16l tank. Later ones with the funny speedo and digital bit had 19l and higher bars. 100 miles before the light if you are being relatively well behaved, 70 odd on the track............ where I only went 3 seconds quicker than my previous 44bhp Bros, which was pretty much the straights. So I would say its not a scratcher unless you really make the effort. Great road bike though.
What it was was proper V-Twin thin, torquey and fast. Mates on 600's would get past on the straights but out of corners on the road it was "see me wave goodbye".
It power wheelied in slow motion in 1st gear, really easy and really early in the revs. Everytime you stop, you have to make a decision.

Definately check head-bearings as they may well be oval!
Cos it has huge carbs its party piece was big flaming back fires and mortar-ing other peoples gloves out of the high-level pipes. I had the OE pipes on once and it sounded like a sewing machine. Loud pipes are necessary (I had Renegades , a mate had Remus on his and thats what I would go for, or Yoshi if I had the cash)........and they not only keep your speed down in town but cos its a big lazy twin it never sounds like you are "trying". Nice.
I had the paint come off the forks and sub-frame in places and the paint was not great on the tank. A new regulator/rectifier was required shortly before I got rid. Wanted a 2week two-up tourer, and the tank range and seat/luggage did not cut it. Apart from that, nothing. A mate had a cam-chain tensioner go and bent a valve though. Have a good listen after its properly warm.
I'm 6'2" and found it comfy apart from the slow speed doddle (any sports bike ever

) and the handling is typical V-twin, ie high centre of gravity compared to a 4cyl. You get used to it/takes a wee bit more to learn so arguably more satisfying. No compression adjustment on the front or rear, typical Honda.
Absolute bargin. Bit of a sleeper down the pub/on the road.

If it has proper pipes on it you will be sold! Have a good one!
