Just noticed this on local FB marketplace. Hope my bikes can last this long.. but I'm guessing something is fishy with that mileage figure

Sort of like the axe I own that my great-great-great-great-great grandfather carried with him over the Appalachians way back when. Only had the handle replaced ten times and the head six...

Carb needs a thorough cleaning after that many miles. Headlight polish wouldn't hurt either.

Looks like a $350.00 bike, got to be wore out with that many miles.

Lol, a mileage figure like that just usually means the owner was too lazy to go check it before posting the ad... I see a lot of ads with 123,456 as the mileage as well
