When I bought my 02 about 2 and a half years ago it had 16,000. It now has 46,000 and not a single problem.

That mileage is not high for a 09.

I put 80,000 miles on my 04 and it was trouble free and no doubt would go another 80K without any major problems.

An '09 with 16k.........sheesh, barely started the break-in process.
Over 37k on my '08....although I am looking mighty hard at the RGU,
just can't justify a trade just yet. Title in hand and no payments is really nice.

Grab that '09 and 'ride baby ride'

you won't be disappointed.

I put 30K on my 08' SG in 2 years. A lot of my friends have bikes with over 100K on theirs and they are still riding them across country. These bikes are made to put on miles, don't sweat it.

Just my opinion.
I like to know how the bike was ridden the first 500 and the only way I know how to do that is do it myself.
It's a gamble no matter how you look at it.
Good luck.
