[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1458390, member: 19880"] Over 40,000 isn't a big issue - rarely major problems before 150,000 or so. (I sold my '07 with 185,000 miles and very few issues, 100,000 and zero problems on my 2011). Early Gen II ('06 and '07) are more likely to have electrical grounding issues (ground" spiders") than later Gen II. Also more likely to have ABS issues although it isn't common. Expect the usual with respect to brake pads, fork seals/bushings etc. Look for a bike with upgraded seats/windshield/aux lighting etc. With a used bike, pre-existing farkels reduce the eventual cost of ownership. Gen III bikes with modest miles may be within your budget as well. [/QUOTE]
