Looks like a tidy S1, in need of relatively minor re-commissioning.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

Always, always count on having to change the chassis when considering an S1 purchase.  Perhaps you'll be lucky but don't count on it.  Sold in Canada means a high likelihood it was driven on winter roads.

I’d imagine the chassis will be due repairs or changing, unless it’s been very well maintained and protected
