Advice on a Triumph Sprint ST 1050

[focusxr5]

Looking at getting back into bikes after a 5 year break. My last bike was an R1 which I absolutely adored but crippled me after a long day in the saddle. I'm now pretty much set on a Triumph Sprint ST 1050. There are a number of options available within my budget. The main point I want to clarify is what is the better option to me? Do I go for an older bike with low miles (e.g 2005/15 - 20k miles) or a newer model which is still absolutely immaculate but has higher miles (2009/40k miles).

If I was in the market for another supersports bike then 40k miles would be a real turn off, but with a sports tourer such as this I'm not so sure. Any real life experience or advice much appreciated.

Thanks

A) I hope this works

B) I fully accept the bike may need another wash and clean...

Where in the country are you? I was looking at an 09 model with 46k on it but if yours is up for sale within striking distance of me then it may sway me.
