Not sure what you mean. They can degrade when sitting, but I don't know about wear.

I have a 45 year old motorcycle, a 39 year old motorcycle, a 28 year old motorcycle, and a 12 year old motorcycle (my 250). The ones that get ridden least require the least maintenance, as long as I don't leave them so long that the carbs get gunked up and the tires get hard. And as you can probably tell, the age of the bike doesn't bother me at all.

An age difference of two years is insignificant to me. How well the machine was taken care of is very important.
