Make sure it starts and runs well. Make sure it doesn't smoke. Make sure it shifts well through all gears. It should run straight down the road (not pull to one side) The steering should be tight. Take the seat off and look in the air box to see if it looks like it has taken on water or has oil in it. (The air filter should be oil soaked but there shouldn't be any extra in the box) Look for leaks under it where it sits and while it warms up and after you test drive it let it run a little more. Check fluid levels and if it looks clean. Look at all the suspension, grab it and move it around see if anything looks loose. You can also check lights. Other than that I can't think of much else to check.
