im not sure if this has already been asked or not i did a search and found nothing... but whats the ideal milage limit for buying a used bike

 

Depends on the bike, year, mantainence, previous owner, price......The list goes on.
To many variables in such a vague question.
But I will say 10,358mi

 

ok ill just tell yuo what i was looking at.... 2006 r6 and it had 29K on the clock

$6,800

btw that 29k was in kilometers.. not miles.. conversion would be 18k miles. sorry for the confusing haha

 

2006 Yamaha - Kelley Blue Book

 

thats pretty cool! thanks

 

Way too many miles for that price.

I wouldn't limit yourself to miles, but definitely compare miles to price. Also try to find private party as much as possible, as you'll almost always get a better deal. Be patient, you'll always find something good.

 

ye it was a private sale, deals have some outrages prices =/ but thanks for the advice

 

I recently looked at buying a 2nd hand 2009 BMW F800ST(dealership). Had 900 klm's (560 ml's), all optional extra's (heated grips, tyre pressure sensors, etc) Full luggage & matching tank bag. Had barely been ridden in those 2 years. 3 things stopped me from further consideration, the lousy trade in offer, the price they wanted for 2nd hand & because it had been sitting for 2 years & although covered & stored (in a shed), corrosion had set in in a few spots, so it would be everywhere you couldn't see.
My F3 had 27000 kays, bugger all really for the 13 years, but it had been looked after.
My Nephews F4 had about the same when he got rid of it, but he parked it every day outside his work in the city, rain & crud (+ neglect) had taken its toll. Miles mean stuff all when your looking to buy. 0 to 100,000 comes down to how its been cared for & treated.

 

That price is wwwaaaaaayyyyyyy to high

 

I bought my 06 in April 2010 with under 4000 miles on it. I payed $5,000.
