Hi mate,
I've recently bought a 1998 model with only 28,000 miles on it for £1000. I found it does seem to be a buyers market atm and there's plenty about at around the £1k mark on Ebay, Autotrader, & Pistonheads.
There's nothing wrong with buying a high miler providing it has full history, but at that mileage the suspension etc is going to be very soggy. I just think you should be able to get a much cleaner bike with much less miles for that money.
Just my 2p worth, good luck with the search anyway!
