"Never assume the obvious is true...." IF it has less then say, 45K miles I think the price is reasonable ... One could offer to do a title search at your or his expense.
I'd say to the seller, if everything is "clean" on the title, I split the cost of the search. If the title is "dirty," you (Seller) pay for the title search and I give you $3500 for the bike.
Back in March I purchased a stripped-down 2000 Black standard w/35,XXX miles. Looks like new.
Paid $4500... have spent almost $2K dressing it up!
Well worth it. I love it. Yesterday I completed the first 1K miles of riding it since purchase.
Here are some "Then and now" photos.
