I wouldn't worry about the miles too much. I would be looking at the maintenance records or lack of. A maintained machine is going to give you the best bang for the buck and theconfidence to ridean older bike (notthat it's that old).Go and look at it if it's possible. See the records of oil changes, receipts for work performed, condition of the rubber. My buddy has a Eight ball with 80K on it and it looks and runs better than new.My nephew is riding an 82 Honda silverwing and same story,well cared for machines that run like a Swiss watch. Everything is relative, a test ride at the dealer could give you some perspective forcomparisonif you don't know anyone with a VVwho could look at it with you. (assuming its close enough to drive to for you). Good luck on your potential purchase.
