Speaking as the former patron saint of lost causes, I have to say this is waving a giant red flag. I've been there, done that, and I can say from painful experience that buying a bike like you're talking about is a giant **** shoot. At the least, I would have a mechanic provide an inspection and write up an estimate before I make the seller an offer. The next step is to make sure that the parts you need are available.
Bottom line is that you will be dollars ahead in the long run if you buy from a reputable dealer who has performed a documented, comprehensive inspection, or buy from a loving owner that has current experience with the bank and can provide you with the maintenance history.
