Hi there
ZX6's are pretty reliable, but do need a lot of maintenance. Most I have to say do get neglected as servicing doesn't come cheap due to the time required. So be prepared to fork out for a proper serviceif you do go for it.
There's nothing wrong with high mileage bikes but obviously the higher the mileage the more likely it is that important servicing tasks have been omitted, like valve clearances, swinging arm regreasing etc.
When I was down south I serviced a ZX6 G2 from brand new, it belonged to a lady who did a 60 mile round trip to & from work, and when I moved last December it had covered 63k with no engine problems whatsoever.
My record was on a despatcher friends XJ900, when he retired it last year it had done 210k and the engine/clutch & gearbox were all original. Not bad eh!
