Good to know. My '99 RK has about 48,000 and runs like a dream. For a long time I hope!

I wouldn't let the mileage bother me. You can tell what kind of miles are on the bike buy riding it and looking in detail at it (flashlight helps). If your still on the fence, have a friend look at it or a local indy. I'm sure everyone here on the forum can give you any answers you need about things that might not seem right.

I've had some friends with that many miles tell me the bike is finally breaking in and running the way they like it.

I call all those miles bargaining points for you.
