Yes or rather no?

If the bike is well maintained give it a go. Back in the days I was into getting bikes with low milage. But at now a days I changed my opinion. I would rather buy a bike with high milage because the engine got this far. So it will get much further. BTW my 2008 Z has 93000 km on the clock and it seems the engine's running better than when it was new:-). It doesn't consume any oil. The bearings are still stock. No rectifierer problems. My concern with low milage bikes imho is that you don't know how the engine was breaked in. How the engine was treated when it was cold (high rev when it was still cold). With a high milage bike as yours, you can be sure that the engine will last and won't crash. Just my 2 cents.
Cheers,
Marcus
