if you see "Metal Mulisha" stickers/decals on it...there's a 99% probability it's been beaten to death, and will more than likely be in your best interest to walk away and find a better one to look at....and yes, I'm serious about this.

excessive vibration, is a classic sign of pure neglect and lack of maintenance....i.e...worn crank bearings...even the bearings in the frame neck and suspension/linkage will cause vibration if they're worn out.
You should have a pretty good idea the first few seconds you look at it if it's been well maintained and cared for or not.
Get some pics or video if possible. :-)

looking like the VIN# is gonna prove to be an important factor.
