Good Deal on 95 ZX6E - Good Starter?

Hi I'm a new rider who's taken a serious ride only once recently (put about 50 miles on a Honda CM450E). I'm Male, 5'8", 160 lbs and I've been looking for a good starter bike. I've been driving manual transmission cars for the last 3 or 4 years so shifting in a bike hasn't been too hard for me.

A friend at a dealer is selling his 95 Kawasaki ZX6E (600cc sport/touring bike) with 30k miles for $2000. Blue Book trade in value is at $2065, and retail is at $3040, so this looks like a pretty good deal to me. Bike is in really good shape and well maintained. Think this would be a smart purchase for a first bike or am I getting in over my head? Thanks.
