It depends. If you take care of a motorcycle, it should last you many many many thousand miles. I personally prefer fuel injection, but only because that's what I'm most familiar with. But I've already rebuilt the carb on my wife's 250 and it runs like a top. With your bike having sat for 10 years, I'm assuming you're gonna have to do the same. Your costs initially are replacing things that have simply gotten old as opposed to wearing out. All fluids, tires, carb rebuild, looking over rubber coolant hoses/brake lines, plugs, wires, ECT.
Take care of the bike and there's no reason you don't get 100k+ miles out of it
