    That is nothing. Buy it. Be happy. Ride!

    Then again, RandyO's SV only lasted 113k before it needed valve work.....

    and it kept going long after that. 10K? It's probably close to getting broken in.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    your only 22,000 off ........ 135k


    10k is not high milage for a modern bike, it's not even high milage for a 4 year old bike

    10k is below average milage for that year, average milage 4k/yr x 4 yrs = 16k

    If it's that clean it's been taken care of - 10k miles is nothing. If it was dented, scratched, and covered with dirt and grease I'd be concerned.

    good deal.

    in fact, that's sort of low. i would rather buy a bike that someone rode all the time and did regular maintenance than a garage queen with rust in the tank from not being topped up and varnish in the carbs (assuming it has carbs).

    If you're not gonna buy it, tell me where I can find it...

    As RandyO said, he had 130,000+ miles on his when he replaced it. To put it into perspective, Randy's gotta run close to 280lbs and rides year 'round...
