Who knows why it needed all that stuff (if it even needed it). Ask the seller and see if they seem genuine. That model is not particularly known for grenading engines, on the contrary, pretty much any Jap sportsbike since the turn of the century (indeed, before) has been known to go for twice the k's that bike has with only basic maintenance.
I have an 06 ZX6R with 80thou on the clock if that gives you any indication. I forget exactly how much, it doesn't really bother me.
Seems to me some people are worried the bike hasn't had work, and others are worried that it HAS had work... the seller can't win. Ride it for yourself, is the only way to figure it out.
Occasionally the seller might sell without a WOF because there's something wrong with it. Other times it's for a reasonable reason - they work 70 hours a week, they have lost their licence / the use of their limbs, they're incarcerated, they are on an oil rig right now and it's being sold by mom/dad/a mate.....
