That Q is almost impossible to answer--if it was not done right-2 miles might be too many. On the other hand if if was done right and the maintenance intervals were properly performed. 30-35K would not be real high. Depends on how the guy took care of it and alot in how he rode it. What would concern me, is when you have that kinda horses under the tank and a throttle in the right hand. I know for me its awful hard to not use them there horses on a regular basis. Take a real good look at the back tire if its not brand new, can tell ya a lot.

My Dad has a 2000 Heritage with a 95" big bore kit, gear drive Andrews cams, a 42mm Mikuni carb and a Baker DD6 tranny. The bike is as bulletproof as they come...There is nearly 50k on the clock right now and almost 20k of that was put on in the last calendar year. If the bike is in good shape I would not hesitate on it.
As mentioned before 2002 was the last year of the forged cranks and Timken bearings, no need to worry about that bottom end at all....
