Parts are readily available, they are usually easier to work on then the most current year bikes, and with a low mileage bike you still have alot of trouble free usage left in it.Not to mention lower then new bike cost.,,
If mileage is that much of a concern...then the bike has some inherent problems and I want nothing to do with it! My wife has 70,000 miles on her Pacific Coast, and I have absolutely no reason to believe it will not triple that (or more) without a problem. (Even her 2010 Hyosung has ~12,500 miles.)
I bought my Burgman last year with 830 miles...I expect to hit 6K by, at the latest, the middle of next week.

If I cannot trust a bike to run 100,000+ miles with zero internal engine/transmission repairs...I want nothing to do with it.
