Hi All,
What do you think of buying higher-mileage bikes (10k miles or more)? I know Honda engines tend to be overengineered and built to last, but anything I should be on the lookout for? Local seller has a 2013 non-abs listed for $4900 including rear rack and (unspecified) windshield with fairly new tires. He also go a custom Laam refoam/recover which is a minimum $400 process. The price hits my sweet spot, although I hope to get him down to around $4500 since he's had it listed on craigslist for a month or so without selling (although the weather here in northern CO has been crap so far this spring).
