About to Purchase a 2003 R1150R - Advice/Question

I did a bunch of research and found a great deal on a 2003 R1150R with 18k miles. Checked it out yesterday. It's extremely clean and it rides and runs well. I'll most likely be finalizing the deal on Saturday and would love any suggestions what to check for before I pull the trigger. Question: At th...
