I have to agree with those who say it's all about condition. FZS600s and Gen1s are all getting on a bit now, and I'm suspicious of anything with less than 3000 miles/year. WTF have the owners been doing with them?
My Gen1 has just gone over the 40000 mile mark and I regularly get asked if I want to sell it. It's ridden all year, but well looked after, and I see no reason why it can't go on for years more.
The biggest cause of problems with bikes and cars seem to be letting them stand doing nothing and not giving them a decent, regular run. So, if it runs well and everything looks as it should, buy the high-miler, you'll probably get a better deal and it'll run for years if you look after it!
