So i asking help - what should i inspekt the most, reviewing it?
It is EC300 2011 model, in good conditions (by tha photo), with 320km of run. Owner say that wasn't been in use since 2014.

IMHO the 2011 was a great model year as far as quality of build went.
If the price is good I'd go for it.
That is very few kilometers on a bike. If it hasn't been run since 2014 and wasn't set up to be stored for a long time you'll want to take the carburetor apart and clean it very well, also a new air filter will probably be required. Inspect and grease all wheel bearings, swing arm linkage bearings, steering head bearings, and inspect and replace the brake and fork oil, as well as the gearbox oil. (all standard work on any bike you buy used) Then get out and RIDE!
If the E-start is giving you a hard time working there are threads that will show you how to modify it to work much better.
Have fun and post up some pictures of the bike. We all like pictures..
