My friend bought a CB550 in similar condition for $1. He paid our local shop to restore it. It cost him $1,400. He's been riding it for four years now without any problems.

Other than test runs around the block (performed by me). I wouldn't "release" the motorcycle for on-road use until I had the shop check it out.

In my job and in my hobbies, I've learned you can NEVER have too many eyes double-checking your work.
