Default MILES

so how many miles on a bike is too much for you to buy it?
and how many miles are on your bike(s) right now and how old is it?

06 ninja 500 with 8250 miles on it.

I know that I am over 5k on my 06 10r. Not sure on my ZX7 anymore. (It has not been street legal since 1990).

+1
If the ride is maintained it will be fine, an 06 would have maybe 2.5 seasons on it 8200 would be right around 3k per season, which is pretty good
