That's the nice thing about these machines. It really doesn't matter how many miles are on them. All that matters is how well it was taken care of. This guy obviously cared a great deal for this bike and it's evident from just one glance. As long as they are taken care of, these things will last forever.

47 years riding and still learning, does that make me a slow learner?
Well, 273,154 miles is probably on the retrofit 160 mph speedo that has seen time on 7 other bikes. That coupled with the speedo error of about 6.3%, since the speedo was off a standard with a higher profile front wheel makes my calculations that this bike actually has 14.3 original miles.

Close, but no cigar. It was 350,000 KM, now closer to 365,000 KM.
With reference to the subject bike, I wrote to him and his reply was:
"i need to fixed I'm sorry, and thank you."
So, there you go... we all make mistakes! (Even with typing and grammar)
Newly added photo shows odometer with 27,000 miles. Still low mileage, if not in urban legend category.
