If it has a title I'd jump on it with both feet. I'd offer less,but if it really does run good and the chain and tires look OK I wouldn't feel bad giving the full $600 for it.

Definitely check the charging system! Just put a meter across the battery terminals and rev to bike to around 3,ooo rpm. See if the voltage rises and how much if it does. Optimum is ~14-14.5 volts. If you dont have access to a meter at least check and see if the headlight brightens when revved. From what I understand (and I could be wrong) it costs around $200 to go through on of those charging systems. Could be a good bargaining chip in your favor.

Good luck!
