Is 40k on a 2004 XB12 High miles. If I buy the bike what then should I be cautious off. Thanks

Well, most say it's high miles. My 05 XB9SX has 44,900 miles on it. What you could check for is the maintenance being done to it.

40k is nothing, I had a friend with a 1995 GSXR-1100 with 76,000 miles, and my brother's ex-father-in-law has a 2004 Electra Glide Classic with over 110,000 miles so far. I think his ass has become part of the seat.....

One of my good freinds has an electra glide with nearly 80,000. I just rode it the other day and its as smooth as a new one. He is big on maintenance which I think is the most important thing for longevity.

82,000+ miles on my 4 year old Honda ST1300. Runs strong and smooth as ever.

My '95 S2 has over 155,000 miles on it.
Runs like a champ.
it's all about how it's maintained...
