The price seems a tiny bit steep. Does it run correctly? Are
there any issues with it stalling? This was a problem with a
lot of the 690's. Tune-ECU or Power Commander was need to fix
the issue. But, you are in Europe, so the problem may not
exist. I don't recall reading about Euro bikes having this
problem, just US bikes.

Since you're a new rider to dirt bikes, you will drop the bike,
probably many, many times. So, you'll want to protect both
the bike and yourself. For yourself, you'll want a helmet,
boots, gloves, knee and shin guards, elbow and shoulder
protectors. For the bike, you'll want a skid plate, radiator
guard and bark-busters to protect your levers (and your hands).
Since I live in the US I have no idea what the prices would be
in Europe.
Good luck and have fun.
