Beware: This bike does not have accurate mileage. I drove 5+ hours each way (almost 600 miles round trip) to buy this bike, and the Speedometer and Odometer did not work on arrival. I had lots of communication with the seller, and he lied to me on several occasions regarding different aspects of the bike. The main issue is the mileage, the seller sent me a picture of the odometer reading 479 miles - and (accidentally) said he had ridden it several times since that picture was taken, and the odometer was working. The bike still had 479 miles on it when I got there, and still had 479 miles on it (and the speedometer also didn't work) after I took the bike out 3 separate times to test drive (He kept telling me I just didn't go far enough to click over the mileage).

It's hard to say, but based on the header conditions and such and the tire / brake wear it has less than 1500-2000 miles, but it's definitely not a less than 500 mile bike.

Be very careful with this one if anyone was thinking of picking it up, especially since the seller did not disclose anything regarding the mileage discrepancy in the ad. In Ohio, that's a salvage title, not sure about any other states, but it's not a bike that's worth top dollar - not even his new $3k price.

Beware: Bike is not real. I looked at the link page for 5+ hours each spot to look at this bike and the Pictures and Bike did not show up. :p
 
Haha, yeah, not sure why there aren't any pictures, but here is the original eBay link that should still show the pictures. Also note that he says it's a 2001 in the original ad, where the bike is actually a 2000 (like the second ad says).

wow you can find newer and nicer bikes on craigslist all day long for better prices.

I wouldn't buy that. It's strange that in his ebay listing it says:

"she is obviously terrified of it with the current mileage" What's the supposed to mean? I thought it had less than 500 miles.

I would hazard a guess the seller means who ever the bike was intended for hasn't ridden it . I tell you all this if that bike was any were near me i would buy it as long as it had clean title . I see X1 up here that people are trying to sell for 5 plus k
