Mileage vs age
Good evening, this is my first post in a while after having been without a motorcycle for far too long.
I am looking to spend around £3000 on my next bike; I will be doing longer journeys as well as a daily commute from London SW to the City. I have narrowed it down to these two options:
Suzuki V-strom 650 ABS 2013, with approx. 50,000 miles done
Honda Transalp XL700VA ABS 2008,, with approx. 15,000 miles done
I like these bikes equally. They are similarly set up and both have full service histories.
So the choice is between a newish 2 years old "high mileage" bike, or a 7 years old lower mileage bike. I do need to take into consideration the general perception of buyers when it comes to age and mileage, as I may need to sell this bike on within 2 years, pending a likely move to Australia.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
