01 r1150gs thoughts

I need help from the GSpot inmates as this could be my first 2 wheel BMW purchase...

Found a 2001 1150gs with ~75k mile, well appointed and cared for, and being brokered by a very reputable dealer. Price seems in line - now, what do I look for- issue wise? Wants: smooth, reliable, comfortable single and two up riding. Pans: I don't want a maintenance queen.... Need great mile eating capabilities, city and highway.

I'm a very seasoned rider, dirt and street. Had many bikes, currently only have a oldWing, just sold my dl1k to a friend.

I'd be greatly indebted for some honest advice and direction.
