Pretty much an impossible question. The bike could be worth anywhere from $200-$2,000+ depending on the condition.
Registration/inspection is different everywhere you go.... and if you're talking about how much to fix it up properly to pass inspection.... nobody knows.

If it just needs a throttle cable/tube, maybe $40.
Chain: $115
Sprockets: $65
Battery: $65
Labor for the above, plus a "tune up": $200-$1,000

Nobody can tell you exactly what it needs without seeing the bike, and there are many other potential issues with a bike that's been sitting that long that we don't know the history on. Wish I could help more.
If he only wants a few hundred for the bike and it's in decent cosmetic shape, I'd take the gamble.
