No bother at all if it hasn't been owned by some "dealer service only" mentality. It is all down to condition.

Depends totally on the bike but depends on condition.
As for how low can resale value go, 74k on mine ![]() Pretty standard apart from exhaust. Druid

My personal limit is 10k but then if it had full service history and was something I really wanted I would go higher.
Mileage really doesnt mean a lot if it has been well serviced. I'd rather have a 10k bike with a history of maintanance than a 5k bike with just the first service. |
