Does it matter about high mileage on a clean looking bike. Been lookin for a cheap newer shape burgman.

Re: Cheap burgman
Dirt cheap and looks good. No word about a service record, but I'd certainly take a good look if I was in the market and had the spare change. If it blew up tomorrow, you could make your money back parting it out.

Re: Cheap burgman
Looks a good deal, but have you seen this newer low mileage model and serviced. It's a private sale so better negotiations to be tried.

Re: Cheap burgman
if i was going for the high mileage burgman..... id want a serious detailed chat about its use with the owner.. not the garage selling.... my friend's 400 majesty has just hit 36 thou miles...had proper dealer servicing...and has just suffered MAJOR engine internal problems..!!! he rode it like a vicar as well...maybee he should have thrashed it now and then..?
the burger with 11k on it looks an absolute bargain... id go for that one of the two if i had the money... would be cheaper in the long run ....
oil change EVERY 2k... thats the secret .. !
