2001, 69k mile, R1150GS - anything to look out for?

I've seen an R1150GS for sale. It has done most of its miles up and down the UK in any weather. The forks are a bit pitted & could do with smoothing down & the seals changing. Otherwise all seems good. Usual flaking engine lacquer, of course.

Is there anything in particular I should look out for on a machine of this age / mileage?
