NO!

Never buy a non running bike unless you know what you are getting into.

Buy a bike that doesn't run? Sure!!

I'm sure it only needs a new plug.

..some fresh gas

....a new plug wire

...a coil

...an exciter

...piston

..rings

....rod

...KIPS fixed

...clutch kit

...clutch basket

...shift forks

....1st gear

...2nd gear

...3rd gear

...etc

..etc... :(

You can 'buy' with a condition precedent - that the seller deliver the bike to a mutually agreed dealer or mechanic for check-out. If the bike cannot be serviced & returned to ready to ride condition for less than $xxx, the deal is off. And agree to split the cost of the dealer diagnosis. If they are (1) aware of the problem, and (2) know its expensive, they won't consider it , and then neither should you.
