That doen't look like it has factory bar ends or tail fairing, so I would say the bike has probably been dropped. The GSXR is probably going to be a lot nicer even though it's older. On girl bikes look out to see if it's been lowered because that could put wear on the suspension, and look for damage, or swapped parts as they are usually dropped a lot. Generally make sure it starts up quick, doesn't smoke, doesn't ping, clunk and rattle.. see if it has it's services and the mileage.
What do you ride now?
