I wouldn't be put off by 61k. There was 45k on my 2005 model when I bought it, and 75k when I sold it - there were never any mechanical problems with the engine. Gear change might have been getting a little bit notchier over time, that's about it. Have the swingarm / linkage bearings checked - mine were developing a bit of play when I sold.
I did end up replacing the reg/rec and having the stator rewound a couple of times, and and several connectors corroded / shorted out and needed bypasses. So I'd consider the condition: if it's been used for commuting, it'll likely see more electrical troubles than if the mileage was motorways. And even then you may still get electrical issues.
A very nice bike for sporty touring. Quite heavy, but that also means a bunch of inertia to keep the bike stable while the suspension does the hard work - sticks to a line on bumpy corners where other bikes would skip out, or throw a wobbly. Very stable at 140+ mph with a bunch of luggage on autobahn too. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4
