The bike is almost 10 years old. While the TC is a 100,000+ mile engine I personally wouldn't buy any used bike with over 50,000 miles unless it's a over the to deal. No need to really as there's so many lower mileage bikes to be had.

Most mechanics have I talked say the TC88 is about 110k motor before top end rebuild. The TC96 seems to be around 160k.

had over 75k on my 03 when I sold it. compression was excellent and over all, the bike was tight! wouldn't hesitate to have ridden it cross country in a heart beat.
agree that there are a lot of low mile bikes out there for sale.
