Welcome to the forum. You are on the right track. Check the oil, rubber, breaks, look in the gas tank, for rust, and so on. I am not real familiar with the DOHC models. I am more into the earlier SOHC models. However I know the switch can be bypassed. Jump across the solenoid. It should crank. You can also hook jumper cables right to the starter wire, and the frame.
The C model is a cruiser style bike. Higher handle bars. The foot pegs are slightly forward, and the seat is lower. It also is geared a little lower then the K, and has a 16 inch rear tire. It also has duel front disc breaks. The K is the standard model. Not as fancy as the C. It is what would be referred to as "the universal Japanese motorcycle."
Let us know what, you decide.
