I am looking at a honda here that I want. It has about 5200 miles on it. Runs good, but should I be worried about the lower end? Bike is clean and it looks like maintenance is good but you never know.
It is an overhead cam traditional 12v motor.

If it is OHC and with an oilpump, 5200 miles is peanuts.
(The OHV pushrods have an oilspoon that can break, however still with many more miles than 5200)

OHC and just a 70cc motor. I guess hopefully it will last another 5000 miles!
