You need a mechanic to evaluate it.
Compression test and test drive will give you the most information beyond that.
My 2000 gz250 had 16k or so on it. Past 18k now...
Owner provided excellent documentation as to upkeep but when I got it home and did a
compression test I found the motor has a lot of wear. Right at 100 psi.
Fortunate for me since it wasn't running I got mine for 800 bux and had it running with some
elbow grease.
If you are not bike savvy you need a mechanic or knowledgeable biker friend to check it out.
