The first question would be... have you ridden before?
If you said "yes" then , ok, it is an acceptable bike. Sounds like a good deal, but I would very carefully scrutinize it. Do a google search for "Used motorcycle buyers guide" or go to beginnerbikes.com and check the technical/maintenance forum there.
If you said "no" then I personally would consider a more managable bike. I'm a big advocate of taking the MSF course before you go bike shopping, so you know what you are getting into. You will then be able to tell whether you can handle a bigger bike or not. Obviously, if you are terrified of 125s, you don't want something with 6x the horsepower that weighs 200 pounds more.
As far as kawasakis being so much more unreliable than suzukis and hondas, do you have a single bit of proof, Remy?
