Title: Odometers
Post by: Bick on September 27, 2008, 04:30:21 PM
I have been looking for a Virago 250 - the GF's first bike.

There is a shop in town that deals in used bikes - mostly picked up at bank auctions.  They all seem to be in really good condition, and before they are put out on the lot, they are serviced by a shop that I really like.

These are some photos from their website.

Something doesn't look quite right with these.

This one, according to their website has less than 100 miles on it:

This one...  Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the resettable trip odometer on the bottom?

So how could the miles on the trip be higher?  ???

A dealer would never roll back miles, would they?  :-X

is the trip reset like the older monsters where you have to roll the numbers back to 0? cuz that would be my guess.
