    This makes me sad.

    This guy averaged less than 100 miles a year

    5 year old bike with 430 miles on it.

    So... any beginners need a new bike?

    Holy Crap! 84/7 = 12

    12 miles per YEAR! I'm guessing that engine needs some new gaskets, o-rings and some new fluids.....oh, and tires too, those flat spots are gonna be bumpy at speed.

    Perhaps a new battery....

    52 weeks a year, riding every weekend, 2 * 52 = 104 days of riding per year
    8 hours a day, 104 * 8 = 832 hours of riding a year

    12 miles in 832 hours = .0144mph, a bit over the maximum speed possible for that bike, so they were obviously commuting during the week on it as well.

    That math looks about right. Good work!

    While getting gas just off the BRP the other day, I saw a Honda Rebel with saddlebags and Alaska plates. It had a few more than 84 miles on it. Just a few.
