should i be worried about a 2004 only having 5000 miles? what should my concerns be when checking it out?

Im looking for my first bike for and i really like the look of this (wish the handlebars weren’t so high but whatever) but i’m concerned about it having such little miles for a 1995 bike. Should i be weary of it? he says he cleaned all the fluids & carbs 2 months ago. What should i be looking for when i see the bike? i talked him down from 2k to $1500. I’ll take any advice you can give, thanks!

So i recently moved less than a mile away from work and my first thought was - MOTORCYCLE! - i’ve always loved cruisers, nothing else really ever caught my eye. I was looking at 125’s or Rebel 250’s like every new rider does but then i stumbled on this ‘89 intruder 750 with 44k miles for $1200. I immediately fell in love with the look and color of the bike, i love the chopper/bobber kind of look. I’m mainly concerned i’d be wrenching more than riding pretty much, i’m gonna go sit on some bikes at a local dealer this weekend to get a feel for the weight. any suggestions or insight anybody could provide? Thanks!

Hey everyone, i’m looking to buy my first motorcycle right now. I have fallen in love with the ‘89 Suzuki intruder, it’s just so beautiful to me i absolutely love the color and how it looks. The one in my area has 44k miles on it, i’m mostly just worried about the mileage as i really don’t know a whole lot about bikes. im somewhat mechanically inclined, i worked at valvoline and can do basic maintenance. Then on the other hand there’s the 03 kawasaki vulcan with only 7k miles on it, which isn’t my favorite looking bike but i definitely still like it. Just looking for some direction here, thanks guys.
