What are you worried about? Damage? Repairs? Theft? Vandalism?
I took a KLR with ~50k miles at the start, and it did fine, I didn't hit anything major and nothing major hit me, the bike was never stolen or vandalized, and it needed mostly simple repairs/maintenance. But the same was true for almost everyone else along the way, so while there are no guarantees that's the general rule.
Now, my personal approach to travel is that I try not to bring anything I can't afford to lose, and that goes for bikes, electronics, clothing, camping gear, peace of mind, and sanity. Others might be better than me at keeping tabs on stuff and conserving scarce resources--particularly sanity.
Hope that's helpful.
