30K miles... High for a Superhawk?
Im looking at a Superhawk with 30K miles... It has a lot of pretty cool options, and looks great, but the mileage is up there around 30K... What do you think? Hes asking $3900...

Its higher than average but not too high. One guy on this forum had one with 137k miles and it still ran great.

I got 31k on mine. Bought it with 25k.
No motor problems as of yet, and I hammer on it.
Maybe try to get em down on price a little. Still not a bad deal.

**** my bike as 67k, and beat the crap out of it. I roasted my clutch, and starter clutch, and my carbs are giving me issues, but that has to do with the titanium needles, The valves are spot on, and never adjusted.

If it had 65,000 miles, or was a Harley, I might be a little concerned.

My VTR now has over 90,000 km (or about 55,000 miles) and still runs like a top. It starts right up every time and is crisp and a blast to ride (no oil burning either).

I just picked up another 98 last night for $1500 off of Craigs List. It has 40K and the engine sounds tighter than my other 98 which has 30K. I got a good deal in spite of the fact the right plastics are gone. It has an Ohlin rear shock, racetech front end, stainless steel brake lines and Jardine high mounts.

I bought mine with 31k on the clock and it's got 38 now, just since May. Still runs beautifully.

I'm loving this thread, makes me feel confident about my '98 I just picked up with 55,000km (35,000 miles) for $3400 CA.. I was a little worried she was too high mileage, but i should be able to get another 20,000 out of her if i decide too

Read the thread titled "High Mileage Commuters" for a touch of the mileage thing. There are some real eye-openers in that thread. I think that's why everybody mods them so hard. They are a very strong horse for a very long time!

Thats high miles for the $3900. Bought my 99 bone stock from a school teacher. 5500 miles-$4000 and thought that was a little high then, But it was like new so I didnt mind ( and dont regret it one bit ) Best 4k I ever spent!

Mines not for sale, so the resale value doesn't concern me.

120,000km so far, lights right up every time, haven't even had to adjust the valves yet.
