Default Getting a GSXR and actually riding it?

I'm planning on getting a GSXR600 K8-K9 as a second bike after my SV650. I wont commute on it, but I will be putting about 8000 miles a year on it, all year round.

Looking on eBay and Gumtree, 95% of GSXR600's have below 10,000 miles on them. I'm looking at putting 25,000+ miles on mine. Basically what I want to know is, what is the build quality like on a GSXR. I'll be riding in the wet (although I try not to ride in the rain) all through winter, so how would it cope? I'll obviously service it regularly and treat it with ACF50 over winter.

Also, a GSXR with a **** load of miles on it in a market where most have barely any, would I find it impossible to sell on again in a few years time?
