Well the only thing that commonly kills a high mileage fazer are associated with fairly major engine components.
Camchain failure, gearbox failure, exhaust studs falling off.
A garage would probably charge you £300-500 to put any of these things right. But if you're handy at switching an engine over, you can pick up a complete unit for £250-300 and sort it yourself. If you're even handier with a set of spanners, it's not a difficult engine to overhaul and most things can be sorted and replaced for £100-150.
With parts still readily available, I think this is why fazers tend to hold there value and not vary much between £900-1200 when being bought and sold.
