also, pay cash for your first bike. that way if you total it, you're not stuck making payments. lots of bikes on craigslist for under $1500

don't be lazy. they're out there.
Also, you'd do better to expand your search outside the 757. shit is overpriced down there thanks to military.
however... there are also some AWESOME deals to be had thanks to the military.

Anyone have any input on them? What questions should I be asking, and what should I be looking for?

If everything he listed is changed and new as he said it is then that's a good deal.

they're solid bikes.
check the bike buying FAQ thread. I recommend having someone go with you to check it out.

Shit, Id have to have some one who rides go with me, because Ive only ever drove a dirt bike, and that was 4-5 years ago. haha. Id be useless without some practice, and Im sure the seller doesnt want me to practice on theirs.

not necessarily. they can ride it to demonstrate for you. you'd have to know what to look for as far as maintenance though (fork seals, brakes, carbs, etc...
