I dont know where all the sportbike kids out there got the idea that anything with 10K or more is beat.... I dont blame people for looking at low mileage bikes first, thats natural. But the whole idea that a bike with anything over 10K is junk makes no sence. yet most sportbike riders seem to believe that. i think it is because many sportbike riders put on maybe 1500 miles a year trolling around in a t shirt and shorts....to tghem it is inconceivable that a bike could go 30K.
Put it this way, in april 1999, I bought a new 1999 Blue r1. by december 1999 it has 20100 miles. still ran and rode like new...after all it was only 7 months old. I sold that bike last yr with 40K on it. Still looked and rode like new
in 2001 I bought a new GSXR1000 and sold it in 2002 with 25000 miles. it pulled 149HP with a full Akro before i sold it.
so if you take care of these bikes and avoid wrecking the shit out of them, they will last a long, long time
