Two things to bear in mind.
What bike and how well has it been looked after.
A 30 odd year old ex learner Rd250 Elsie with 20 thou on it will have been snagged more than a Westminster rent boys botty.
An old BMW R80 of the same age could have 5 times that mileage but have been serviced by an anally retentive OCD sufferer who almost has a stroke if he gets caught out in the rain on it. Common sense tells you before you buy it how well it's been looked after.

Never underestimate the ingenuity of an idiot!
