Life expectancy on a GSA

Some good advice here, but you need to take a good look at the other half of the equation - the asking price, and what you are willing to offer. Since he manages the dealership, I would try and talk him into some type of warranty. And I would deal with the owner of the bike, not a salesperson.

Also, I would ask to have the bike checked out by my mechanic (one that does not work at the sellers dealership).

GSA Long Life

I put over 200,000 k on my 2015 GSA no issues. Regular maintenance and tires is about all. Sold the bike in 4 days when I purchase a 2020 GSA
 
I am thinking about buying a used 2014 GSA with 67,000 miles on it. The bike is currently owned by the manager of the BMW motorcycle dealership where I live. I am told it has been well maintained. I am looking for feedback regarding if this is a lot of miles for this bike, and how many more miles can I expect to get out of it if I maintain it well.
Thanks

Are you looking for life expectancy ON or OF a GSA?

ON refers to your life expectancy, whereas OF refers to that of your potential steed...

ON would depend a lot on your individual riding skill level and could be anywhere from 5 minutes to many years.

OF is a function of how well your bike has been treated in its life and mileage is certainly a factor, but not the only deciding one. There are many posts in these forums that should give you an idea of what to look for in a well used GSA, not the least of which would be the purchase price.

In any case, I suspect the investment will not be too extensive and I wish you luck in your new adventure.: wave:) :)
 
California highway patrol sells there 1200’s at 150,000 miles. Most are bought up instantly by funeral riders who often get 50-75 thousand more miles out of them
Clutch would be my only worry, as it’s a expensive change on non LC bikes
