Blue Suzuki GS500 2001 4k miles 2 owners inc current MINT, He claims to have done less than 250 miles.
How much should I offer the guy? Parkers says 1.3k for private good.
Will there be any problems with the bikes age and it having done not many miles?
Advice appreciated.

Yes, it doesn't do the bike much good if it's been sitting unused. Worst case is things like petrol gumming up the carbs, tyres that need replacing due to resting on the same spot all the time.
Most servicing charts say that the bike should be serviced on time if it hasn't done enough mileage: if he claims it is in good condition he should be able to prove that this has been done.
