I know nothing about 750’s but this might be worth a look through:

I have had a bike from him in the past, the guy's a gentleman, he is not a dealer but a collector.
Can't get to see bike online at present due to sporadic Internet connection, but I found that he will answer any query, he used to do walk round videos as well.

Like most bikes make sure you ask the right  questions.

I'd request a video of the bike running (then post on here for a second opinion if your not sure)
Check if rims are original DID (2nd best is modern DID repo's) - I note that the carb top rubber boots are missing, master cylinder boot missing and 52000 miles may require cam chain/primary chain replacement if not done (if so, is there proof?)
That's just a quick look before I'm off out - can anyone else spot anything?

Looks like USA import as suspected (rear light, indicators, bar height etc) reasonably well prepared.

To add to the above observations;- chrome doesn't look bad but appears cleaned as opposed to re chrome (see nooks and crannies around weld joints etc. Rear tire probably needed shorter term (no direct view of centre but appears 1/2 worn) 52,000 isn't really a problem if honest, but you need to hear it running, chains "should be ok" at that mileage if oiled properly, blueing on some downpipes that suggest uneven carburettor setting (maybe in the past but some don't like that ) I'd want to see inside the final drive chain cover to check for damage (from chain break) to make sure it's not been hidden, also check what ignition it's running. Looking along the wheels to check for frame misalignment too is worthwhile.

These are all general things that need to be accounted for, that's on any bike but detail for 750 here. Difficult to answer remotely but seems to be all there and not a nuts deal (either too expensive or cheap) and seems worthwhile considering the age.
