Check headlight fairing's frame for damage and cracks. Expensive to replace. VERY expensive..

Others will have other things to look for..

Welcome to the site nteck. :smt006
The grey Falco looks very nice, certainly worth considering.
Not really anything special to look for with the Falco, mainly the usual things and with all the recent replacements like rear shock, battery, chain etc., it's off to a good start ticking the standard boxes.
The price is a bit high but things like the Maxton shock will save you money later, if you do get it.
The standard shock is not brilliant.
Good luck.

Jus a thought, nteck - I noticed this bike on fleabay a few days ago (not there now) which was also advertised on here a while back - might be worth checking out:

https://www.ridersite.com/viewtopic.php?t=8758

Mileage is higher than the one you were looking at, but price is substantially lower, plus it has good extras; Maxton shock, 'Priller luggage etc...

Just a thought, plus he's in London...

It's also a.cat "C" insurance :(
Plus missing h lamp lug etc
If I can get the silver one for 2 1/2 k I think the trip up north be worth the train fair.
Only thing is its silver .......

Its all down to preference of course but i think the silver one is stunning....
All the falco's in any colour look nice to me with the exception of one.

Except paddys of course :smt003

To be honest I quite like the silver and black If it was just black well that's a different story :smt003
