Mileage is not a particular problem, provided there is a good service history, bear in mind that the 12,000 mile service is a 'biggy' and can be up to £700 in a main dealer. (Plugs, valve check, head bearings, suspension bearings greased air and oil filters etc). Independents will charge less and I believe 'Muddy Sump' charges £450. Just a point to bear in mind if you are looking at a bike near 12 or 24,000m.
Other than that you are probably looking at an early second generation model, 2015 on and it is worth looking for ones with as many factory extras as possible, luggage, heated grips, fog lights etc.
