Maintenance on 3 year garaged bike?

Hi guys,
I just bought a 2007 zx6r off a towing company. It has about 2200 miles on it, and has been sitting in his lot for the past three years. It rides great, and it's a pristine bike. My question to you guys is- is there any maintenance I should do because the bike has been hibernating for three years? Any fluid flushes? What do you guys suggest, if anything?

I would start by flushing all fluids and check for worn hoses/lines. And basically check essential stuff like brake pads and any cables. Thats just what I would do just for the feeling of knowing about my bike.

^What he said. Plus it might need tires due to possible dryrotting. Check the inside of the tank for rust/fuel contamination. It may be too late since it sounds like u already rode it.
