how many miles is to many miles?

[InTeG97]

im lookin to get a bike, and im lookin at 98 cbr's and stuff of that nature. Possible even a little earlier just cause i dont have a huge amount of cash...but what would be too many miles to risk buying a bike at...I've seen quite a few with like 10,000 and stuff like that, would that be too much for my first bike? or should i get less miles then that if i can?


thanx

my bike has 24000 and is great just like a care if cared for it'll go along time.

So long as the bikes were ridden mostly "properly" then it'll last for MANY thousands of miles. My bike has over 19,000 and it's a 1994 and it still is running. A friend of mine has over 90,000 miles on his bike. Just make sure the bikes weren't used for wheelies/stoppies/burnouts all the time, and you'll find yourself something nice.
