been plenty of them have gone over 100,000 if looked after, so in theory, no you should be fine. Just depends on what previous owners have done. Full Yam hist sounds positive that they've looked after it.

69000 Miles of commuting mainly, touring abroad and weekend blasts and no problems at all on my 600 Hornet ;) Does nt burn any oil and l d think stop start, up and down the gearbox commuting in heavy traffic is a tough test for mileage  :rolleyes
