+1 on checking for a write off.
Replacement fairings are expensive, so a it's a pretty reasonable story that the previous owner would have bailed on fixing. And the damage could have been caused by a minor off.
However, you want to check the more structural bits just to make sure. I'd search for some specific tips/guides on how to do this.
Otherwise it looks pretty clean and well restored / looked after. It's been done to a budget, but that doesn't mean its bad. Just look for little tips and cues to see if it's been done poorly. Off the top of my head... the indicators are LED so if they flash too fast because they've not added a resistor I'd wonder what else has been sloppily done.

Hey all,
I'm thinking of buying this: https://www.gumtree.com/p/suzuki-motorbikes/suzuki-sv650-sv650n-naked-black-2003-k1-twin-caf-racer-excellent-condition/1392237974
In the current times I'm trying to avoid travelling so can anyone see anything obviously wrong with it. I've only ever brought new bikes so I'm a newbie to the used world.
