Looking to buy a first bike. I have my eyes on a GSXR, either 600 or 750. There are a few that have come up with around 15k miles on them, from 1999-2002. Any advice on buying a higher-milage bike? concerns? I'm clueless.

Thats not high mileage at all. My F3 had ~33k on it when I sold it and it ran great.

Age in years is generally more important than miles since bikes can get neglected in terms of maintenance with long periods of non-use.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
as the previous two said, the condition of the bike is much more important than the mileage. one of the main reasons why you don't see high mileage sport bikes often is because people crash them and part them out.
my dad has had bikes with well over 75k miles on them...
you have to make sure they arent abused and crashed a shit ton of times... miles means nothing really.

Is that before or after t he geographical move? We all know that should add at least another 100K to it.
Before.... well over half a million now.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
