Getting a 99 rsv on a trade

[1999VeNtUrE]

I currently ride a 99 Honda VT1100T, honestly j love the bike but it's a little too small for me and my wife (I'm 260lbs and she's 200lbs) to take for longer trips. I have 40k miles on mine and the gentleman who is trading with me has 60k on his rsv. 

 

I've never heard of the rsv until a couple days ago. Have no idea if they're reliable or if they're a good option so some insight would be awesome! 

 

Is there anything I should look out for when looking at it? Any mechanical issues that are common on these? How are the v4's compared to a standard vtwin?

 

The reason why he is trading down is because he is older and his wife doesn't ride with him anymore, so he just wants to get a smaller bike to bomb around town.

Thanks in advance!

I'll add photos of his bike and one of mine.

Keep the carbs clean with good fuel and do scheduled maintenance and you can expect 250k miles easily. The only engine failures I’ve heard of were all from carbs overflowing and hydrolocking the engine. Some have a clutch basket whine that can be annoying but not a mechanical issue. 
Check the rear shock for oil leaks. 
There’s nothing on it that can go wrong that the fix can’t be found here. It’s a top heavy bike but eats miles comfortably. They like to wind, keep the revs up around 4000 for the best performance, don’t touch 5th gear (overdrive) below 65mph. I’ve got almost 90k on mine and we’re planning a month long tour out west soon.
