    Hi,
    Well found this amazing forum and thought I best sign up.

    Just got back into riding again after a 11 year break

    I came back and purchased a GSXR600L1 as I didn't think it too sensible to jump onto a Blade!!

    Now I wish I had just gone for it!!

    Anyway GSXR is up for sale and I am dreaming of my next toy!!

    So looking at 2009,2010 models budgets tight so it looks like 15,000-20,000 is pretty common!!

    Should I be worried about this kind of mileage?

    Thanks in advance for your input

    Welcome.

    Should be fine at that mileage, but be aware there is supposed to be a big service done at 16k for valve clearance checks etc.

    £300-400 seems to be the going rate for the full service.
