Vaquero engine paint flaking

I'm looking at buying a 2013 Vaquero with 25000 kms(15500 miles). Bike is candy orange and has a few blemishes but overall looks really nice except for the flat black paint around the engine and transmission. Most noticeable on the left side in the area behind the oil fill cap. Their are a few spots with the bare aluminum where the paint has flaked off. If you rub your finger over it the white residue from the corroded aluminum comes off on your fingers. The forks have some pitting and rust as well. Is this common on the Vaquero or has this bike been exposed too a lot of road salt? Roads are salted here in the winter but most do not ride until spring rain has cleaned the roads off of it.
