Just a couple of years ago, I checked out every "T" that came along for sale. There were always bikes with only 4 to 6 thousand miles on them. Now,
almost every "T" that comes along has better than 30 grand on them. I think many of them were bought by weekenders and now they are in the hands of
people that truly love to ride and the "secret" of the "T" has finally gotten out to the masses!
I LOVE MY "T"!!!!!! Rick

Low mileage is not always a good thing. Sometimes it means the bike has sat a lot to the point that the seals have dried out, or carbs have gummed up. A
vehicle that has sit too long will often need as much or more work as a vehicle that is driven regularly. If a bike is 10 years old and only has 10k miles on
it, then that's only 1000 miles per year. So, if a bike is only ridden 1000 miles a year, then it's highly likely that most of the miles are either
short commutes, or has sat for extended periods between long rides. I always look for bikes that have at least a couple thousand miles on it for every year of
age. A '98 T is now 10 years old, and at 2k miles per year that would put it at around 20k miles today. It's a Honda folks. It ain't even broke in
good yet.

I don't think the miles on this one are really very high , or really low . At 38k it has lots of life left in it , but has also not been just sitting . My
comment on the price was just that the T's don't seem to be bringing that kind of money lately , unless they have alot more custom work than this one
has . When I was going to sell mine people always wanted to buy it for even less than my price , and mine was priced over $1000 less than this one . I have a
few more miles than this bike has , but not many . I also have alot more chrome and extras that this bike does not have . I think he might be trying to sell
this bike for a long time at this price , an this time of year . Usually bike prices start going down this time of year because winter is coming , or is
already here for some areas .
