    What Is Considered High Mileage for a Max?

    Hi, I am looking to buy a used V-Max, preferably 1993 or newer. Should the mileage be a deterring factor? What kind of miles can one expect from a V-Max? I have seen bikes with 35 or 40k miles and wondering if the bike still has a lot of left at this point? Thanks for your input.
