SRAD coolest gen for gixxer imo. Would you rather have a bike with 2-3000 miles thats been beaten to shit or one with high miles that been properly maintained and cared for?

Low miles on a sportbike. They all get ridden hard.


i would consider 15k+ to be high mileage for a gsxr 1000.

Generally for a sport bike, 20,000 miles is comparable to 150,000 miles on a car. If the bike has aftermarket parts, expect that it has been ridden hard here and there.

If it's 100% stock, your chances of a properly maintained bike are increased in my opinion. But again, even a fully stock bike could have been ridden to death.

Confirm that there is a stock body kit on it, not aftermarket cheap Chinese parts. Look for scratches on the sides to see if it's been dropped/layed down.

I like 2008, 3-4k miles its ok, make sure nothing was done to the engine, check if the bike was dropped.
