First bike purchase - 1980 kz650

Hello - I am about to pull the trigger on a 1980 kz650. I would really appreciate any type of feedback to help me along with this purchase. I will attach a link of the bike I am about to buy. The owner is asking $1000 OBO... needs the carbs cleaned and rear break pads.
Thanks so much for your time.
Cheers

That poor bike has seen better days. What are your plans for it? I'm thinking $500 not $1,000. Ed

The seller was going for a cafe race. I think I would like to take more in the direction of a tracker style.
Was planning on using it as a commuter for the summer and running errands....then taking it apart in the winter.
Thank you for the feedback.
