I would say that you engine should be as new at 17k, offcourse rubber as for the valve seals can be dry. There is adds for oil that will help them and maybe seal better. Your engine may not need overhaul before 60-100k, all depends on how bike is run and maintence/oils. Parts is cheap in US i think, not anymore for me since the dollar went from 5,5 - 7,3 last years. In general you have cheap parts for the bike new, most importan its still possible to get parts OEM. Other than that its alot of aftermarked parts.
