My 05 1200C had 9100 miles on it when I bought it November 09. It has 23800 on it now. The only issue it has is the starter strips sometimes if I try to start a hot engine like after a gas stop.
Fwiw my 883 just rolled over to 17k. I bought it in march with 12k. Hasn't let me down and I ride it short trips mostly 5 days a week. The aforementioned rocker gaskets are really the only common issue I've heard of with sporties. Seems to mainly be caused from insufficient warm up time.
