Considering xt660x

Hi everyone,

Have been thinking of getting an xt660x to use for commuting after recently moving to Sydney and enduring a 80 min bus journey twice a day. I used to ride quite a bit of off road (kx250) but hardly any on road so I am going through the learner license thing here in Aus. I have a few questions about buying 2nd hand bikes so I was glad to find this great forum. Would appreciate any help here.

I have looked at a few xt's but a bit unsure of the following....

1) What is considered high milage / Km's? looking at one with 40,000+km's.
2) Seen 1 or 2 with power commanders / non standard pipes fitted. Is this considered a modification which is not legal for learner riders?
3) I saw one thread (maybe not this forum ) which mentioned some models are better then others (problems experienced) is this true?

Thanks for any help.
