Holy crap! That's not a good idea, IMHO. Show's how little the owner respects his rad and BMW in particular. You may have valid concerns regarding back pressure.
The irony in trying to be a legend in his own mind by making more noise is he almost certainly lost some power by replacing the muffle with the pipe. It's also possible to have other issues you mention.
I don't like to make blanket statements, but in this case, if the owner did this and tried to sell it in this manner, I would walk away. There are plenty or motorrads taken care of by enthusiasts that would be a better purchase for you. Good ones keep all receipts. I am slightly less anal then most; I don't make spreadsheets of service records, but I have all receipts.
