high mileage
#13
Like most people here, I don't thing that milage on its own tells you much about a bike. If I am looking at an older bike, for myself or someone else, then I don't want anything with much below 4k per year of age. Less then that and you are looking at a bike that has spent its life in storage instead of being ridden, and to me, that means it was owned by someone that didn't love it. I would rather have a 7 year old bike with 50k then a 5 year old one with only 5k on it. At 50k, I know that all the consumables have been replaced at least once, whereas on a very low milage bike, many parts might still be the 5 year old originals.
