You mean, "you rarely find them used without a bazillion miles on them."
I just bought a 2006 V-Strom 650. 54K miles on it. The engines are said to last over 130K miles. I am 5'10" and it fits perfect.

So far I love the bike. It took getting used to coming from a CBR929RR, but it's just so effortless to ride. I quickly forget about the bike and start looking at the scenery. So far averaging 51.5 mpg, but not really trying at all. Pretty good considering most of that is 80 mph highway riding.
