Default Your Opinions. Used bike 2009 - 19,000 Miles!

Potentiality i'm going to see a 675 2009 Daytona, the bad ass.
However the bikes done 19,000 miles! That's huge!
What are you thoughts, obviously the price represents this but is it just too much. What do you think.....

hmmm this is what im thinking, shouldn't have any issues with it. How many miles do you think you can put on before they start to have any problems though. Ill be doing all the big services sooner than youd expect with an '09. It still has manufacturers warranty until may...

Great... it's been used... any problems would probably have appeared by now.

What's it been used for? If just summer touring, fine. If used all year round check for brake drag and such, find out if exhausts rot etc.

Aye, you know you can actually ride when that wet stuff is falling out of the sky.

TBH this bike has only got one decent years mileage on it... it's only most of them being owned by pooftas that makes it look high mileage.

If it was all track miles I'd mull it over. If it was road miles then fine. If it was commuting then super bonus.

Nice one thank you guys. Lets see where I get tomorrow.

Its got a Gel seat so my assumption is tourer commuter as the previous owner.
The only over possibility is that it could be a Press bike, so it could have been put around the tracks throughout Europe. Though that's only me guessing.
