I would not ride this bike int that condition on the highway. It's not substantial damage but it isn't exactly minor either. I would remove it before riding.
I don't know what the NADA price on the bike is, but I did a quick search on the fairing. First one I found was on [ame="http://www.amazon.com/2008-2012-Genuine-Kawasaki-Fairing-55054-5124-G3/dp/B0064O4X5Y/ref=pd_sim_sbs_auto_5"]Amazon [/ame](of all places) for $250. for one side. Not sure it covers the entire damage since I've not seen a 250r in person.
At minimum, I'd find out from a local shop how much it would cost to have them replace it, then I'd want about twice that off the bike or the seller needs to fix before I would purchase.
I'd also want to inspect the bike (or have someone inspect it) with the fairing off, at the seller's cost or effort. I'm going to hazard that this wasn't a "oops I forgot to put the kickstand down" accident (fairings are usually scuffed up but not broken in multiple places from that) so there may be damage underneath.
I've purchased cars and bikes with cosmetic damage and fixed it, but you've got to make sure that is all it is.
