I was looking to buy one used and my concern is the bike having 5000 miles and one can only assume they were some hard and abused milesThat's a very ambiguous question.
How long is a piece of string?
In my riding experience I would say getting over 80,000 kms / 50.000 miles is high. I've reached over that twice on 2 ZX12R's. A lot of riders seem to think anything over 20,000 kms is high.
As far as the H2 is concerned, I currently have 22,000+ kms on mine. The bike runs extremely well.
Are you looking at purchasing a used H2? Or do you already have one?
It's mainly about proper maintenance and servicing, and not thrashing the bike.
TedG on this site is one bloke who has done high miles on his H2, and sounds like he uses the power very well!
He also maintains it properly (ex-mechanic if I'm correct).
Don.
Why would you assume that? 5k is not a lot of miles at all.I was looking to buy one used and my concern is the bike having 5000 miles and one can only assume they were some hard and abused miles
