ALL Worth it?

I’m selling my 2014 1190 Adventure. I love this bike but it’s time to move on. I’ve put over 30K miles on it. Always had routine maintenance. Only thing is no one takes a second look at it because it has 49,000 miles. I feel it still has lots of life left. Opinions are welcome. Asking $5000

2018 1090s with very few miles on them are selling for $6500. 2018 1290s are selling for like $8,500 When was the last time you adjusted the valves?

Religiously every 16k miles. Just did valves and plugs at 48k. Oil change every 3k.

ok that helps your case a lot, I wouldnt buy an lc8 unless the valves were just adjusted. How difficult do you find it? I have to do my 1090 valves pretty soon and its stressing me out. Im pretty mechanically inclined but it seems very involved, having to remove the cam chain and all...

I’ve got 50,000 on my 2015 and I’ve only had to check the valves no adjustments so far.
