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?

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

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

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