I don't know about where you live but here where I live people are pretty honest about the history of their bikes.
I dropped my bike once and let the buyer know before hand of the damage it had and the things that were fixed. As do most people
For a first time buyer I'd recommend buying used... the MSRPs on the 300s are ridiculous. Not only that but the low cc bikes for the most part hold their value. I bought my bike at 4250 and sold it 2 years later after thousands of kms for the same price.
The same goes for 300s and 250s. Buy them at a low price, learn on them for a year or 2, sell them and get a higher cc bike of your choice. Though some people like wringing out lower cc bikes.
