As long as its been serviced i cant see a problem, mines got 41000 odd and still pulls like a train with no rattles, Carbon Kid must have more than 60000 on his by now, some people only like low milage motors, but that doesnt mean its better than a high miler, just my opinion, im sure others will tell you to run away from it and not look back :dunno

30k is quit high for the year but the rotax is a strong engine so long as it has a good service history it shouldn't be a problem, the trouble with a bike that has low millage espescialy a mille is that means the bike has been stood for long periods and as we all no these bikes need to be ridden.

Your all right!!!
Im starting to let my heart rule my Head..............its only been 5 days without my old RSV and its sending me potty!!! especially when i heard the bikes passing the house today in glorious sunshine.
Im gonna wait a month or 2 and try and find a 2005 as Im a bit concerned about the clock reset on the 04...........and i like the lions head.
Ill take all that you are saying and not to rush anything.
