20000kms in 3 years? I put that much on my bike in one year.

As long as the bike has been properly maintained, then reliability should not be an issue.

Well you can never be certain, but if the owner liked the bike that much chances are it's been taken care of. Have you seen it yet? Always look at the bike before buying...

I'm with you, I put 24,000 on mine the first year I got it.
