Looking at buying a 05 F650CS

My girlfriend is looking at an 05 F650CS. We live in Chicago, so city riding is more what will be doing. She is a newer rider, so a bigger bike is not recommended. I have already ridden the CS, very nimble different the my R1150R. I have a question for owners of the CS, does this bike have a choke? I didn't see one, the bike does not have a manual, so I will have to order her one. Any other info about the CS would be great.
 
no choke

the only starting suggesting I have is
1. turn key
2. wait for all the lights but the last two (forget which ones)
3. push the start button and hold it in for two seconds. you will not hurt the starter motor. something about the computer sets the sensors or something
4. see this site for more detail http://www.bikeboy.org/f650start.html

hit up the f650 site, they can answer any question you have about everything from little to big.
