Default Is this a good deal?

I found an 02 CBR RR 954 for $4200 with 22k miles. I was wondering if this is a good deal. I went to look at the bike and it was in great shape. The fairings were immaculate and so was the body. There was no frame damage or even scratches. It looked like the bike has never been dropped. It shifted well and the brakes/tires are in great condition.

My only worry is the high mileage and the left front fork is leaking a little bit. I've done some research on the forums and found that the 954 engine is pretty much rock solid but they do tend to run hot especially when driving the in the city (~200).

Thanks

don't be scared of high miles.....if more people rode their bikes instead of sitting around in parking lots with them you'd see that they last a long time

sounds like a good deal to me..mileage really dont matter on a bike as long as you do all the schduled maintance. my pops had a goldwing with 150k+ and ran like new..keep the motor up and it will keep up with you..good luck and ride safe
