EDIT. If the photo is the one supplied by the owner, his garage in the background looks pretty tidy. I look for that kind of thing. And the bike itself looks very clean.

Funny. I always judge a bike by the owner. As soon as I pull up to the guy's house I judge the upkeep on the house, cars, garage and finally the nick of the bike. If the guy's life looks like a disaster why would the bike be any different?
The ST in good shape is great bike to tour on. A friend I ride with has had several and always raves about em. He had an ST with Ferracci pipes on it. Sounded fantastic.
