I don't think anyone's compiled a list yet but Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and KTM announced their days. I'm already on the list to test ride:

-CBR500R
-CTX700n (might change this but I wanted to give cruiser styles a second chance)
-R3
-XSR900
-390 Duke

3,000km a year is reasonable. I would be hesitant to buy a bike that has less than 1,000km a year on it, who knows if the owners have been keeping up with maintenance?

1st Gear Riding School has CBR 125Rs with 80,000km on them and they still run great. Bigger engines which are less stressed can likely get to 200,000km easy with proper maintenance.
