I know an Irish 2009 bike with over 40K miles on it.
If mileage concerns you, don't buy it, spend a bit more and get a lower mileage bike. However, 8000 miles is nothing, whichever part of the world you are from, it makes no difference to the way the bake rides, or the smiles (other than you'll have cheaper smiles).
Mileage is only really a problem if it's stupidly high, or if you are concerned with residual values. In my opinion, bikes are for riding, not investing. I'd rather have a high mileage model, that has been serviced, had it's weak spots exposed (and warranty repaired) than a low miler that spent it's life in the garage with all those potential faults still waiting to catch someone.
Your money - your call.
