Look at it kinda like you would a car. Look for body damage. The quality of the paint. Look for any signs of rust. Now as far as how it runs the only thing I've seen wrong w/ a bike after starting it up is smoking real bad. I don't think we want that.

worst advice ever.
i'd start on nothing bigger then a 600. and that will be plenty of power.
