Ok, that's approx 21k miles so if you are unsure about what has been done before, you'll need to plan on checking your valve clearances, clean/adjust the chain, check the air filter, oil change, check tire psi. You may also want to synch the carbs.

Congrats on your new bike, good choice  You'll find lots of help here on how-to's, add-ons and also riding tips etc, as I'm guessing this is your first street bike.

Welcome!

I'd add: new sparkplugs, change brake fluid and fork oil; check battery fluid levels.
