hi there i have the same model xt600 in the same colour , 2-3 kicks to start is no problem . ive had mine for 7 years and although its tatty to look at it runs well. the xt you are looking at is a 43f although if its a calafonion model like mine its a 43r . these are GREAT bikes so as long as all seems well BUY it . the bike does not need a battary to start it so that is not the starting problem which sounds no problem anyway . the alloy rims can corode take the tyres off to check this, but i dont think you will have a problem on such a low mileage bike make sure the decompresser cable is adjusted proparly this makes starting better . the engines can be a little rattly so as long as it does not sound like a cement mixer full of spanners all should be well. the 43f is VERY light and fast 100 mph yamaha stated , dont forget the bike has a dry sump oil system which is no problem, just the oil change / checking , is diffarant to a normal wet sump engine .good luck and let us know what its like if you buy it . any problems some one on here will chime in with advice .  zigzag
