R1150GSA 2002 50000 miles

I may have someone interested in selling to me a R1150GSA with 50000 miles on it , the mileage seems a bit high and I am considering the bike for RTW trip , is that a bit too much to start with or does that seems still descent.
Thanks for your help

Bought my 1150Gs with 57,000 miles (it had been RTW for 2 years prior to me buying it), then did Argentina to Alaska, some 30,000 miles or so and its now on over 100,000. No significant problems at all really. The BMW mechanic I spoke to recently said they are fairly trouble free bikes unlike the earlier 1200s.
