To Ride Or Not To Ride " that is the question"

Ok ! Im hooked, something about the triple that just calls to you . I love the looks of the Daytona old and new. I sat on the new 675 and wished i didnt have 4 kids. But I did find a sweet 03 955 . I am assuming that parts availabilty is limited and pricing is higher than jap bikes. This being said, my question is : what things should i look for and keep in mind before i purchase this beauty. It has 30,000k on it which i guess is quite a lot with such a short riding season up here but from what i can tell the guy that owned the bike was meticulous. Any help would be greatly appreciated for the newbie re-igniting his old passion regardless if it costs him his marriage.

Bwally, 30K isn't even near high milage with these. The only major item I suggest checking on is it's last valve adjustment...these are in 12K mile intervals.
