I would have to agree, because there becomes a certain point where regardless of mileage and regular maintenance precautions taken, things start going bad/drying up/seizing up on a vehicle, and those things usually only start really poking their head up when it goes from sitting around all the time to being used all the time, so you could easily go look at a bike that had been sitting for a long time and even ride it, and it may not show many (if any) signs of problems, until.... you take it for a good long ride down the highway (about 10 minutes after you buy it) and it starts leaking, sputtering all kinds of fun stuff like that.

Not only that, but unless you are talking about a really old bike, you are probably not going to save a huge amount of money either, because low mileage older bikes don't really depreciate in value all that much.
