13' for $10k OTD - Worth it?

I think 10k is a lot for a 6 year old Busa. I paid 13.1k for my 19 OTD with warranty. I could have got a new 18 for 12k OTD.

When used you have to think about tires. You might ask him what the date are on them. If only 1900 miles they are probably original and older that the 5 year rule. Also what about changing the oil, brake fluid and coolant.
 
What is your mechanical experience with bikes?
Would you be comfortable doing your own work?
Because, as said here earlier, whichever bike (of the 2 on this thread), some mechanical input may be required. At the least, new fluids all around (eventually - see @08BusaKY prev comment) for a bike that age with low miles (unless the previous has been meticulous - and if they have been, perhaps they've kept records, and if they've kept a log, then you'll have a better idea whether new fluids all around is an immediate need.

All of the above relates to your purch cap of $10k. That might buy a (used) bike, but how much will it cost next to make you feel safe on the bike (maintenance)?
