Probably not a popular point of view, but I have bought a lot of bikes (and sold them) and I wouldn't look at anything over 30k, to me that is the point mileage starts to become "high", I think this is due mainly to lots of similar bikes having a lot lower mileage, so when shopping around I will see Fazer 600's with 30k or more priced around £1500 and many with less than 20k at about the same price. As long as condition and service history is good then it's a no brainer to buy the one with less miles.
A chap close to me recently had a very nice condition fazer 600 up for £1495, with 39k miles on the clock, after three weeks of no bites he has just dropped down to £1295 and is still struggling to find a buyer, nothing wrong with the bike but the miles are putting people off, if it had 15k miles on it would have sold straightaway
Just my tuppence worth
