I'd jump on it without hesitation.

I would negotiate for an oil change and valve adjustment before purchase.
This guy was offering a 2015 for $4800 brand new. He' in GA. And the ad says it's last price, no hidden fees. You surely will have to add taxes and registration, and shipping if you're not in GA.

The ad expired, but he may still have it.

According to KBB and NADA, the average annual mileage for a sport bike is around 2000 miles. So I guess most of used 2015's for sale should be around 1000 miles.
I'd rather get a bike that already has the 600 miles service done. It would save you about $300. Or, as @Ryanthegreat1 said, try to negotiate the first service.
Also, if it's from a dealer, check for any dealer fee before getting too enthusiastic about the price.

Not only to save money but every bike thus far has needed valves adjusted at the first service. Also the amount of crap in the crank case is unbelievable, oil changes and filter cleanings help this.

OP stated $4800 OTD, which means tax, tags, fees, everything. That's like paying less than 4 grand for the bike itself.
I was thinking about the same thing. Thanks

Yeah the OP did say OTD. 
That eBay listing (now closed) was excellent!

The price still feels good to me. Fair price, a bit of a deal. 2016's will be at the dealers soon (hopefully) and 2015's will be worth a bit less.
Is it a track bike? Is it all stock? Usually track bikes are modified or loaded with accessories. Was it modified or loaded and then put back to stock? Ask about it, so at least you know.
300 miles means about 3 track days. Very little use.
If it's a track bike, consider that very probably the brake in was not done 'by the book', in case it bothers you.

I would say that bike probably had the best break in possible. Get it fully warmed up and then ride it like you stole it. Motor probably has great leak down numbers.

If the dealer never actually sold it the bike should technically still have warranty. The story seems a bit conflicted. Did some one buy it, track it, and then take it to the dealer to sell?You can probably get an aftermarket warranty, but it's usually rather difficult to get paid on those things.
Oh and can you wrench? Because if you can't then the warranty is even more important to you. For me I wouldn't care so much because I do all my own work, but if you don't then that's big money.
(and if the engine took a dump I'd probably be really happy to have an excuse to put a two stroke in it!) lolz

So it was never actually sold, then it should have full warranty. Demo means it is still in the dealer's inventory as stock. Fight for it!
And if it doesn't then say well it's a used bike, and thus the price should drop significantly and they cannot charge you setup fees, shipping fees, and all that other BS, because those only apply to "new" bikes that come with a FULL warranty.

i guess it was sold to the owner of a track day org and was used as a demo bike. i just pulled the trigger and received a free track day
