Advice Please!

I'm going to view a bike tomorrow, bit of a jaunt! If I post the description could you guys give me a few things to be looking for? What I need to look out for and ask etc...?

Description as follows:

Very clean example of a Triumph Street Triple 675 with only 11,350 miles. This bike has had 2 previous keepers and has always been garaged and only ridden in fair weather. Starts first time and runs and rides as it should.

The bike has FULL DEALER SERVICE history stamps up to 24,000 miles despite only having covered 11,350 miles, which means it has already had the big 12,000 mile service which consists of checking the timing and all the valve and shim spacing. Please see pictures of dealer service stamps. I also have all of the invoices from the dealers to confirm the work done in the services.

Michelin Pilot Tyres front and rear both in good condition.

MOT until July 2016.

Completely standard bike with the slight addition of Oxford heated grips.

Reluctant sale due to the purchase of a new house.

Nothing about the bike that doesn't look fully honest TBH. It's hard to pick even the smallest fault in the advert. For 4 grand I would just HPI check it and if it starts and runs well and the brakes don't bind it's a goer.

24k miles or 4 years Rog, so you can have a 24k service at 1 mile if you never ride it.
Of course, the cynic in me would ask whether they bothered to do a 24k at 12 or if they just charged for a 24k and did a 12 - but then it's not my money so I don't have to worry about it.

I know what I would do mind, valves don't wear when it's parked for 2 years

I'd be astonished if it's even had the real 12K done (at 10K), let alone the throttle bodies balanced twice, the headstock bearings greased twice, and the fuel hoses renewed.

If I wanted a STriple I would definitely be taking a look at that one with some cash in my pocket for a deposit. Looks like a nice clean bike at a decent price

I prefer the look of later ones myself, but I'm scanning Bike trader looking out for my Triple-to-be at the moment.
Should really get the ER6 advertised. I don't really have anywhere to keep a second bike.

I would certainly say that was a good one at a good price from the advert.
