Personally when I go bike hunting, I'd try to find something between 10,000-30,000 kms.
Small part of it was to do with the inevitable replacement of wear and tear parts that comes with the mileage.
High mileage does not mean beat up though, because how long a bike motor lasts is largely reflected on how well the bike itself was maintained by the owner.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't bikes retain their value better when they have lower mileage?
I'd imagine it being easier to sell too down the road. If you ever wanted to change bikes again or what not.
In regards to a carburetor on a bike, it would be nice to go with fuel injection for reliability as bcrdukes stated.
Eventually at some point, you are going to need to have your carburetor removed and cleaned, where as you don't need to worry about that with F/I.
Also you wont have to wait for your bike to warm up for cold starts, and wont need to play with the choke.
I normally just keep the revs low until the motor warms up to operating temps

I have and it was exceptional. Some people will say PRS is better, and I'm not sure to be honest.
I was initially planning on doing my schooling with PRS, but I could only do night school, due to my day classes at sfu before. I couldn't justify booting into surrey through rush hour traffic from the sfu mountain campus, so I went with ProRide up at Cap college cross second narrows.
I would say its safe to assume they're both on par with one another, could someone else chime in?
