I used to be worried about mileage on my bikes, hence why I took 3 years to find the perfect (for me) ZX12-R.
However, my little donkey fazer has now nearly got 20k on it, used all year road and it's running great, and I recently purchased a 25 year old Honda Pan which I used to ride nearly 15k around Europe without any issues this summer., it's now sitting with over 70k and it really opened my eyes to how good some bikes can be.
always, always buy bikes/cars on condition and gut feel... sitting in a garage for most of the year isn't always the best, service history can be fake and/or doctored... so you really need to be careful these days...
oh, and anything with a main dealer history is a no, no for me! :rollin
I would much rather see a well maintained bike/car via specialist and owner maintenance... I've seen far too many cases of main dealers just not giving a f**k about what they're doing to 'gush' over seeing their stamps in a book...
:rolleyes
