I'm currently looking to buy the fz07 and I came across one from 2015 but with 20 thousand km on it. It's priced 2000$ below msrp.. I
This sounds like alot of kilometer for a year old bike ? Is this bike worth checking out despite the km count?
( riding season is from March to October here. Approximately)

It's a modern Yamaha that isn't a high strung supersport. Maintain it well and it should run for 60-100k miles. Seriously, look at the mileage all the FJR1300 guys put on their bikes, it's crazy.
I'd say even higher. I've seen plenty of Nighthawks and Goldwings in the 200k with the occasional 300. There was one dude on my old Nighthawk forum up to 526k. But I'd say he was about as outlier as you could get.
20K on a new bike is a lot better than 20k on a 10 year old bike IMO.
What's the asking price then? 5000?
It's still a new bike, it's just fully broke in now - provided they did the 1000km 10k, and 20k service, it should be just fine for another 60k easy.
I have a 2015 with 15,000 miles and is still perfect. no complaints.
