Balls! They're fine mechanically, if given a bit of TLC.
What wears out? Engines, nah, depending on use. Frames? Nah. Bearings... yes, but they're cheap.
electrics corrode, aye.
Mine is somewhere around 75k and still fine to rag the nuts out of. It's not had that easy a life either, but it gets serviced almost according to the book. (valves checked more often, due to hot cams... though they don't need it)
TBH I'd do the same again as to buy newer bikes would mean you'd just have to do all the crap that on your own bike would already be done... if you know what I mean... more often.
