Mileage in a motorcycle is the same as an automobile. The higher the mileage the lower the price. And if you find a bike with low mileage make sure it has not turned over. Most modern bikes have electronic digital odometers and should register the actual miles. Remeber you get what you pay for. You'll see BMW Motorcycles often with over 50-60,000 miles in good shape. I would be hesitant to buy a Ducati with over 20-25,000 miles. Many Japanese sportbikes will see considerable sport riding and commuting use, so you may see them listed from 5K miles up to 70K miles.
Personally, I would start to be concerned with engine life on a Japanese bike once it got over the 50-60K miles mark without an overhaul.

Considering buying a 1998 Suzuki Intruder 800 with 45000 miles on it is this high miles for this year and how many miles does a motorcycle run?
45,000 miles is considered very high for a motorcycle. I would only consider buying if the price was well under $1,000. I would say a typical motorcycle owners will ride about 2,000mi each year. A motorcycle enthusiast may ride 5,000 each year. A daily commuter may do beyond 10,000 miles each year. Assuming the bike you're interested was used for daily commuting, even with meticulous maintenance, a lot can happen over the course of 45,000 miles.
